I Really Should Just Look Away . . .

OK, before I get into this, I need to make clear that I do know that the Michael Jackson case is extremely trivial relative to what else is going on, but then I saw that . . . headline . . .

Prison would prove tough if Jackson convicted



and the article really is about how Michael Jackson might find prison "difficult".

As opposed to whom? Who, exactly, finds prison, easy-peasy?

And I especially like the contrarian reading left open by the sloppy headline grammar. (If Jackson, not convicted, prison would prove pleasant/enjoyable?!!?!?!?!)
