The Sun Misfires Against Disney Over Swear in Game

Posted by Zonk on Tuesday January 4, 2005 @10:00AM from the see,-it-helps-if-you-check-your-facts-first dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "UK paper The Sun published an article about a father who purchased a recent Gameboy title from Disney for his daughter. They were horrified that the credits of the game contained the F-Word and he immediately contacted the paper. The Sun published the article without researching the fact that this was a pirate cartridge based off of the cracked version of this game released. Oops!"
