I blame the small screen...

... cuz' there's no way any personal animus would have led me to mis-read this news item's title I read on my cell phone:

First lady taikonaut and pals plunge into the dirt after space mating • The Register

On the small screen, I mis-read "First lady taikonaut", the commie Chinese term for "astronaut", as "First Lady taLkonaut"...
