When titles are misread

You know how you sometimes misread a title, realize your mistake, and then you're dissapointed that it wasn't what you thought it was?  I'm sure some already feel the same way about this thread.  On the banner ad on the Cakewalk Forum today, there's an ad saying "When two worlds collide: Studio composition meets live performance.  Click here to learn more."  The link, of course, takes you to a page describing X1 features in each of these settings. 
 
The problem is, I misread this when I first saw it.  I thought it said, "Stupid composition meets live performance".  I was intrigued.  How stupid are these compositions?  Who are the composers?  Did I submit an entry and forget about it?
 
Needless to say, I was disappointed when I realized my mistake.

    I share your disapointment.

    Somebody turn on the Bapu signal.  It's Bapu Time.  Granted, it's not the same as Hammer Time, but the dance is similar.

    Or like Julianna's thread, wherein she promised a tune with SAX.

    I saw a lovely pair today.  I had no desire to mislead them.

    That seems like a man's wish come true.


    Not me. I like the two in their respective places.

    I understand completely. Bad enough you're shamelessly breathing those sultry whispers into the headphone-embraced ears of hundreds of impressionable boys via the internet.

    Or does he know?

    Case in point:  I just now sauntered (well, clicked actually, but anyway) over to the songs forum, and the first song there is 'Everybody Likes My Honey.'  I read too quickly and I thought it was 'Money' and I thought, well, of course they like your money!

    Oh well....

    i thought it said "tit_ies" where one letter is used 3 times in the word and it is not i.  

    I am also very disappointed.
