Regrets, they've had a few, 2008 edition

Craig Silverman of Montreal the proprietor of the Regret the Error website (also a Globe and Mail columnist) has published his year-end round up of sometimes hilarious, sometimes tragic, oftentimes amazing corrections published by various publications worldwide. He has also published this -- from columnist Dave Barry -- as "correction of the year":
In yesterday's column about badminton, I misspelled the name of Guatemalan player Kevin Cordon. I apologize. In my defense, I want to note that in the same column I correctly spelled Prapawadee Jaroenrattanatarak, Poompat Sapkulchananart and Porntip Buranapraseatsuk. So by the time I got to Kevin Cordon, my fingers were exhausted.
