The year in media errors and corrections. Includes such beauts as "We have been asked to point out that Stuart Kennedy of Aberdeen, who appeared at Peterhead Sheriff Court on Monday, had 316 pink, frilly garters confiscated not 316 pink, frilly knickers," "Sen. Joe Lieberman, the Democratic vice presidential prick in 2000," and "[Bob] Novak has been a columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times for decades. He announced late last month he has a brain."
This one is so mindblowing I may actually co-opt it to use in the future:
In articles published on 23 and 26 May 2008, we gave the impression that Mr Gest had contracted a sexually transmitted infection and alleged that he had Liza Minnelli’s dog killed without her knowledge. This was wrong. David Gest has never had a sexually transmitted infection and did not have Ms Minnelli’s dog killed. We apologise to Mr Gest for any embarrassment caused.
Awesome.

That wasn't David Gest. They meant me.
