Another amusement in the news

I have to share this one.

I was reading the paper and came across an article about how abuse prescriptive drugs are now the leading cause of death due to drugs in the state, even above illicit drugs.  What perplexed me, then amused me,  was this statement (I can't remember which drugs were used, but you'll get the idea).

Drug X saw a 65% rise in abuse while the abuse of Drug B only doubled.

Does anyone else see the problem with this statement?

Another amusement that I had to share.
