Default cheapest KOM points in history?

In the Tour-of-Many-Syllables:

Two climbs, each of 150 meters, each cat 1. Not bad
for 300 meters...

The Tour this year is doubling points on terminal climbs, but
this seems to not be the case in TdMS:

Those two climbs are the finishing climbs of Mont St. Clair. From two
years ago, when the race was known as the Midi Libre:

Oh, Foo! And double foo!

For a moment I thought they had finally put up the profiles for the
non-mountain stages for the '04 Toor day France.

Clearly the most amusing thing is the awarding KOM jersies before the
real climbs commence. To those Jacky Durand-types who zip off the
front for an easy care-free ride over Cat 4 bumps before being
absorbed again as the sprinter trains home in on the finish line.

Anything to get that sponsor's name proudly up before the cameras
while the spanish fleas bide their time.

Whee!
