"Judging by the amount of almost-hate mail I've gotten, quite a few of you read our unedited Nintendo DS Versus Sony PSP article.

Funny story: Chad had been working himself crazy to put together a big, in depth-article. He was getting all the pieces together: writing, cutting, copying, pasting and building a column.

We were getting ready to edit it and fact check and do all the things that good journalists do when, BAM! In some kind of wacky, mad-cap mistake possibly involving Lou Ferrigno as The Incredible Hulk, everybody managed to get a hold of the wrong version of the piece."

Smapty?
 
Thought about posting a link to the original article when it popped up, but it was just too easy a mark. Not because it dissed either PSP or DS since it actually said glowing things about both of them, but because of the sheer number of factual and grammatical errors throughout the article.

If I had been in the midst of proofing an article that far from final, I wouldn't allow it anywhere near a server...
