...goes to this:

The headline makes perfect sense - once you've read the story - but because each of the first five words are valid as nouns AND verbs I found it impossible to make sense of without clicking.

Is it just me?

It's not the greatest headline, but I have noticed online news articles are full of spelling mistakes and poor punctuation.
