"Less is WEIGHT, fewer is NUMBER"

Is the AP saying that fewer homeowners took out equity loans, or homeowners took out less in equity loans? (I know; they're saying both. Whatever) Either way, how could someone at the AP have let this headline slip through?

aaaaaaaaargh. How about the whole "LESS COMMERCIALS!!!!!!!" campaign on TNT, which is actually watermarked on all their TV shows so you can never escape it, even as you try to immerse yourself in The Closer or The Cleaner?
