Another Creative Mis-read

While scaning headlines on the 'net, I stumbled across a very curious headline:
"Iran Defiant After Being Reported by IKEA"

I was suprised to find that the story was *not* about a conflict between an Islamic Middle Eastern nation and a low-cost Scandinavian furniture retailer.

Not feelin' too bright today...

Tick.
This is why speed readings never a good idea if you want the actual story- but it does make for more entertainment. Which is what matters, right?

That IKEA is such a tattle tale. I wouldn't be surprised if your misreading was correct. (I was playing with tags btw)
