US: blog publishes 2005's best media mistakes and corrections

The correction of the year was published in the Denver Daily News on the 27th of July 2005, and read as follows: "The Denver Daily News would like to offer a sincere apology for a typo in Wednesday's Town Talk regarding New Jersey's proposal to ban smoking in automobiles. It was not the author's intention to call New Jersey 'Jew Jersey.' "

There are many other amusing mistakes and corrections (see here for the full list).
