You are not above proofreading

This is probably the result of severe overwork, but my feeling bad for the guilty party doesn't take him/her/it off the hook for this:
True Blood’s Ryan Kwanten Talks Fourth Season Secets and Surviving Shart Attack
"Secets." "Shart." If either had appeared in the body of an article, I might overlook it. But this was a headline. Twelve words. (And there was another headline on the same site that used "lead" instead of "led.")

Is anybody bothering to read these things before throwing them up for all to see, or does nobody at The Hollywood Reporter know how to spell?

Twelve words. How hard would it have been to proofread them? Don't you care enough to make even that minor effort?
