It probably has more to do with the fact that the story is about ten years old. Way back then habaneros weren't all that well known (to the general public). It's been going around the internet since before most people new what the internet was. You know, I think I may have even seen it posted on the old FIDO and RIME message relay systems -- way back in the 80's (yikes!). :^D
It's still funny though. Maybe someone needs to "re-imagine" or update it.
