Headline ambiguity of the week

Language Log 2020-08-27

This one depends on word-sense ambiguity rather than on the structural and part-of-speech issues in the ambiguous headlines we've called crash blossoms. "After 9 months, women’s body to get new head", Times of India 8/26/2020:

Nine months after being headless and non-functional, the Goa State Commission for Women is set to get a new chairperson. Minister for women and child development Vishwajit Rane on Tuesday said that a formal notification is being moved to appoint Vidya Gaude to the post.

Ambarish Sridharanarayanan, who sent in the link, added "I can't seem to make out if this headline ambiguity is an attempted joke or just poor writing. Seems like the former, but in somewhat weird taste?"
