The Sun Misfires Against Disney Over Swear in Game

Posted by Zonk on 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!"

    The Sun is an example of everything wrong with British journalism. Low grade version of the Daily mail - a paper for Chavs everwhere.

    Wow, Slashdot becoming Brit Centric!! For those that don't know Chavs are the delights regularly found around the shopping centres and car parks of Britain. Feel free to convert and report back on your local equivalent
