Wanted: Copy Editor for the L.A. Times
Can someone please start fact checking stories in the L.A. Times' Calendar section? Check out this correction from today's paper: "The Craft and Folk Art Museum's current 'Puppets' exhibition includes a 'Mystery Science Theater 3000' character named Crow T. Robot. Last Sunday's Arts Notes misnamed him Crow T. Robert."
How soon people forget one of the funniest series from the early- and mid-90s.

Meanwhile, look for this correction in next week's paper. In an interview with "A Mighty Wind's" Jane Lynch (she plays a former porn star-turned-folk singer), the actress mentions how the ABC show she starred in, "MDs," was replaced by a reality series called "I Am a Celebrity Mole."
Missed that one. Maybe it was a mix of "Celebrity Mole" and "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here." Or perhaps it was an unintentional insightful comment by the Times on how all reality series are blending together.

Also in the Sunday Times:
I'm always looking for new reasons why I feel like I'm losing my memory. Here's a good one: Toxic chemicals used as flame retardants (and known as "PDBEs") are rapidly building up in the bodies of people and wildlife around the world , approaching levels in American women and their babies that could harm developing brains, new research shows.
