But I always found it funny and snarky for just that reason! Like us calling the Daily Mail "the Hate Mail"
It isn't a homophone or a homonym, but it reflects the nature of the beast.

Then again, I had meme down as memm, thinking it was based on the French for "the same", so I'm not reliable in internet pronunciation
