The all-important first impression

Personally, I often read only the headlines of a story in order to decide if it's worth my time. If I decide to go on to the article, the first sentence is of the next most importance. I found this error in the first sentence of a post on Kotaku:

If you wonder why Dead Spacecribs from other material, consider the fact that they were the sole new IP developed in competition with The Godfather, Lord of the Rings and The Simpsons.

Once again, the omission of a space between words, but here it's much higher profile, as this may be the only thing someone reads about this article.
