Colombian Rainbow Boa emerges from a toilet, causes a spelling error to UPI editor

The first sentence of the article spells the reptile's brand correctly:

A full-sized boa constrictor slithered out of a toilet at a public relations firm in Southern California last week, according to a press release from the company.
The headline, however, is a bit off:

Boa constricter emerges from office toilet in San Diego

But it's happened in California, and people are naturally het up about all things happening there.Thus no wonder a typo creeps in.

By the way: is there any connection between boa constrictors and PR? Just asking.
