It was a very clever play on words

The short selling ban did not totaly stop (brake, get it ?) such sales.

"If the ban was intended to ease pressure on financial institution stocks, it didn't have any meaningful effect. Remember, short interest as a percentage of all shares was about 4% without the ban. So, again, little if any effect."
