The UK's Times Online, recipient of The 2008 Newspaper Awards' "News Site of the Year" honors, caused a bit of a stir when it referenced the "Sony Wii" in a Sunday article about Grand Theft Auto IV.

The article in question applauds videogames as being "intensely creative story-driven fantasies and astonishingly realistic sports-based games" and remarks that the "latest games designed for the Sony Wii console can even force players to break sweat."

Though it's disappointing that the Times got something as important as the maker of the Wii wrong, that could perhaps be forgiven as a simple human mistake. What's more disappointing, though, is that the article has yet to be corrected, despite the fact that several comments on the Times' site pointed out the error.
