English as a second language headlines

While browsing through the St. Petersburg Times (Russia not Florida), I came across the headline:

Minister Says Russia Won’t Be Pressurized

I don't know about you, but it made me laugh. Obviously they're having trouble getting native English speakers on board to edit over there. It sounds like something a smug Russian would say to me to "show off" his big words. Here's a tip: talk to the natives. Hire native speakers. If all else fails, keep it simple.
