Whoopsies in Canadian Media

[thebitterguy]

Last night, was watching CattleCar Galactica on Space, and they did their Bookshelf bit. In it was an interview with renowned drunkard and comics author Warren Ellis, discussing his book Desolation Jones.

Unfortunately, someone was asleep in the editing booth, as the cutline below him read "Warren Jones".

Whoopsie!

Cattlecar?

The Orrrriginal Battlestar Galactica starred Canadian thespian icon Lorne Greene. Because of his previous exposure to viewers as the Patriarch of the Cartwright family on Bonanza, the show was derisively called Cattlecar Galactica by some viewers.

I am merely upholding tradition.

Ahhh, okay.

A tradition begun by the likes of Cracked and its B&W humor-mag competitors, as I recall.

As to the error itself...it's both understandable and annoying at the same time, isn't it?

No, it's pretty retarded, actually. I'm gonna rib Askwith pretty hard about it the next time I see him.

On the strength of that, I think I'm gonna refrain from ribbing him myself.
