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!"

    For all those who may not know, The Sun is a British TABLOID - and as such is often publishing material in that rather dark shade of gray... Big surprise they didn't get it right.

    The more interesting story to me would be to follow-up with the father who purchased the Gameboy and cartridge, and find out where he purchased the goods. I mean come on, if you are really concerned about your kids why are you buying something from a less than reputable source. Is there even a story if he bought it off some street vendor?
