Voluptuous headline

An arresting headline: "Ancient Figurine of Voluptuous Woman Is Found." Voluptuous: from the Latin voluptas, pleasure. See what you think:

Ancient Figurine of Voluptuous Woman Is Found (New York Times)

    I think voluptuous is funny in a headline, funny too as the figurine exceeds the adjective (as with zaftig too).
