Holes with no bottom chronicles

At Little Green Footballs is a post with a screen capture of a story put out by CBS/AP about a Chinese mission to the Moon. So many ways to be wrong:

  • It was originally posted with a Japanese flag (confusing two of the most important nations on the planet: check!)
  • The shadow of the flag goes the wrong way (ignorance of basic physics: check!)
  • The picture is of Dione, a moon of Saturn (living on a different planet: check!)

The last point just kills me — not even knowing what the Moon, that big bright thing in the sky, looks like? That’s cosmically wrong.
