Cheeky metropolitan snobs

From today's Guardian before I stagger home, exhausted and pained by tendonitis (left hand, you filthy-minded types):
Saint-Louis-du-Ha! Ha! is the only town in the world whose name has two exclamation marks. It will remain so until Wolverhampton is renamed Wolverhampton!! to highlight its funky new Black Country vibe, which, all things considered, seems unlikely.

"cheeky". One wonders if it was any other paper, would the adjective used perhaps be a little stronger?
