      Clarity is not normally something headlines are all that concerned with (some are intentionally opaque, but this one is just joking around). Anyway, I think the “[foo], [bar]ed” structure was a lot more common some decades before the Internet—I had no trouble parsing it, but this marks the first time in a while that I’ve seen it, and I can see how it might be unfamiliar to some audiences.
