Let's not debate the title of this blog post or discuss the term "journalism."  
 
Joystiq's Justin McElroy posted a news post yesterday where he attempted to file down a 3DS cartridge and put it into a Nintendo DS. The result? Nothing. Not surprising, really.   
 
Like all things posted on video game websites, GameJournos.com decided to chastise Justin for posting "filler" material. Once the GameJournos post was criticized for calling Justin out for using humor, GameJournos clarified saying "The problem I have is with filler material that serves zero purpose. The “discovery” that a Nintendo 3DS game cannot and will not work in a Nintendo DSi is, I think, not particularly earth-shattering. It’s expected. Attempting to mask the intrinsic low value of this news post by applying a coat of humour to it doesn’t change the fact that this isn’t newsworthy and is, in fact, a complete waste of time."  
 
Gamejournos also criticizes Justin for following the statement "we've got a detailed walkthrough of exactly what happened after the break." with "Nothing." 
 
In your opinion, is this sort of post acceptable? Was this filler material or purely Justin attempting to put his good humor to work? Should Joystiq have ran this story? Does it bother you that you may have clicked on the article expecting some sort of revelation when, in all actuality, you were greeted by something you could have simply inferred?
