Catch of the week: 'Stamp gaffe tears Kate and William apart'

The headline of Emma Kemp's article, "Stamp gaffe tears Kate and William apart" seems to imply that Prince William and his fiancée Kate Middleton have broken up over a stamp gaffe. However, that is not what the article is about. Being a play-on-words, the headline refers to a commemorative double stamp that was recently released which has a picture of William on one side and his bride-to-be on the other. In between the couple's faces is a perforated line, which means that "effectively, [Will] and Kate can be torn apart" (Kemp).
