This headline strikes me as a typical set up for a late night comedy monologue joke.
In this form of joke writing the news headline would be the set up and then the follow up would be the punchline. You have to kind of re-interpret or twist the headline to come to a silly or unexpected conclusion.
You could use the headline as-is as the set up, or you could re-word it to help your punchline.
