Making stupid 'errors' in headlines/summaries was a blatant thing in slashdot a while back (may still do, I don't know). It provoked plenty of rageposts, which I'm sure is exactly why /. did it, by people who never seemed to guess they were having their chain jerked. Again and again. It's why I stopped reading it. It probably works in some sense but it's a counterproductive tactic if you ask me.
