The Year in Media Errors and Corrections: A collection of shocking and truly hilarious corrections and errors from around the world. I thought this was funny (though some might not):
"The Denver Daily News would like to offer a sincere apology for a typo in Wednesday's Town Talk regarding New Jersey's proposal to ban smoking in automobiles. It was not the author's intention to call New Jersey 'Jew Jersey.' "
Or how about this:
"Norma Adams-Wade's June 15 column incorrectly called Mary Ann Thompson-Frenk a socialist. She is a socialite." The same thing has happened to me, only people think I'm a socialite and find out I'm a socialist.
Or this from The Guardian:
"In our G2 cover story about Hunter S Thompson yesterday we mistakenly attributed to Richard Nixon the view that Thompson represented "that dark, venal and incurably violent side of the American character". On the contrary, it was what Thompson said of Nixon."
