I don't think everything should be modified just because of what "stupid people" might think of it.
The headlines need to be more truthful. It's not the stupid people that read a headline, and then are disappointed in the actual story that doesn't match what the headline said.
If the head line reads "Aliens land in America!" And then it turned out to be about immigrants from Europe I'd be pretty upset even though the headline is technically true, everyone reading it is going to assume a totally different thing.
