I think that's enough for what was a pretty miserable pun to begin with.

If you haven't heard it, it's new to you, I know. But consider this fair warning.

(And I don't think this is a headline that makes sense literally, which should always be your first test when writing a punny headline. It might work for a quick one-off. But it's not nearly as clever as some might try to argue.)
