The Sun Misfires Against Disney Over Swear in Game

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!"

    WTF does Rupert Murdoch or Fox have to do with it?

    A crappy article about a video game in a UK tabloid, and all of a sudden let's bash the guy who owns the most non-left-biased piece of mainstream US media... Hmmm, a bit sore about the election are we?

    Just because you may have a left-bias which leads you to agree with NPR and the UN does not automagically make anything to the right of you bad or bash-worthy.

    If you have anything specific to say (i.e. if you know of Murdoch owned stations doing specific things related to *this* story) please - by all means, bring it on. This is like saying: Wow - Britney sucks, and the RIAA ownz Britney, but wait - the RIAA also ownz U2, so U2 sucks too, but only because I don't like them, and Michael Moore told me not to like them, but I can't think for myself so I'll just hate them.

    Grow up. If you have a beef with someone or some corporation, spell it out - get a blog or something. Like I wrote: WTF does Fox News have to do with this british tabloid & a pirated video game? NOTHING.
