Congrats On Surviving The Apocalypse

Here's a stunner...the world didn't end according to the Mayan calendar. My theory? The guys making the calendar got bored and decided to go watch some bloodsport instead. So, we're back from our holiday break as you get ready to enjoy yours. Nothing like just barely missing a foot of snow in the Midwest to get your holiday excitement flowing. Hey, have you seen Jay-Z's sister? He's looking for her... You know how to tell if you're getting a little, um, heavier? When your clothing responds to your forecast. What if EVERYONE talked like they were on TV? (Seriously, try that the next time you talk to family members. Hilarious. Or confusing.) Y'know, I have to say there have been quite a few errors in the news industry this year, many of which have appeared in this blog. (you're welcome) But sometimes, the CORRECTIONS are funnier than the errors. Check out this link for some of the best and worst of the year. My personal favorites include The New York Times' "An article on Monday about Jack Robison and Kirsten Lindsmith, two college students with Asperger syndrome who are navigating the perils of an intimate relationship, misidentified the character from the animated children’s TV show “My Little Pony” that Ms. Lindsmith said she visualized to cheer herself up. It is Twilight Sparkle, the nerdy intellectual, not Fluttershy, the kind animal lover." (That's right, stay out of it, Fluttershy!) I also really liked this one from the National Review: "I misspoke this evening on the Special Report panel. I suggested that Godzilla was less destructive than King Kong. And everyone knows that it’s the other way around. I apologize for any offense to the Kong family or to Godzilla’s fans — or victims." And the Charlotte Observer got a big shout-out for "Typo of the Year" for saying a player had a "herniated dick." Y'know, as much as I LOVE corrections, it's rare to find something as entertaining as an error when it happens on live TV. Kick back and enjoy this YouTube compilation... If that doesn't scream "Merry Christmas," I don't know what does. -B-
