Holy great tits, Batman!

I don’t know who’s in charge of headline writing at the BBC, but the headlines there usually take one of two forms: either nonsense ‘gems’ with random ‘quotes’ in ‘various places’, or nonsense phrases that are of rather infelicitous construction, such as this:

Great tits cope well with warming

It’s about birds (tits, like ‘tit-willow‘), of course, but who in this day and age is going to read it that way?

I will admit to having seen that headline (now that it’s unblocked, yay!) and having the exact same reaction.
