85 is not average

Thanks to the unique way the BBC is funded, they can afford to make outrageous mistakes on their news website, and still get paid at the end of the month.

Exhibit A: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/5041690.stm

(on the NintendoDS game ‘Brain Training’)

“In a Tokyo classroom, a teacher demonstrates how to turn on the PlayStation Portable and plug in the disc with the game on it.”

…

“In this version the player has to solve simple sums as quickly as possible. But there are many different types of game on the market, not just for the PlayStation, but Nintendo and other models too.”

I suppose doing a bit of journalistic research at the beeb would get in the way of snorting coke off an nubile lady’s buttocks.

Edit - 4-June-06, it looks like BBC News has corrected the information now, it’s lucky nobody noticed, eh?
