The lack of shock storyage can be put down to two things:
*Metro is predominantly read by students and young people (ie: under 30s), less interested in the ANYTHING INVENTED AFTER 1901 WILL KILL YOU TO DEATH attitude of The Hate
*Hate has been scientifically proven to be exclusively readable by the over 70s, sort of like that high-pitched "Mosquito" thing they used to put outside shops to keep the under-15s away but in reverse.
