Default BBC: MA Fleury lives on the Moon

FLEURY Marc-Andre

Ice hockey
Date of birth: 28 Nov 1984
Born: Sorel, Canada
Lives: Moon
Height / Weight: 6'2" / 179 lbs

My English colleague was looking through the Canadian roster and asked me why one of them lives on the Moon. Gotta love foreign coverage of hockey at Olympic time.

Thought I'd post something that wasn't doom and gloom!

This error reflects poorly on Great Britain as a whole. Thier news agencies are a reflection on their intelligence and ability to understand the world. They have shamed and embarassed their country. The BBC will go down as the worst broadcaster in history.

Of course the foreign coverage could actually be correct, and Fleury does indeed live in Moon;

Up the BBC.

Sweet! According to Wikipedia, Kurt Angle also lives on the Moon as have Plaxico Burress and Barry Bonds. Lunatics, the whole lot of them!

Glad they don't list Iggy as living on the moon. That would be a hell of a trip to the Dome for game day

Man, the Flames are going through coaches like nobody's business. Nepotism at its finest. Brett didn't like his role on the Heat so he asked Dad to be moved up to the big club...Darryl obliged.

They're just basing it on the future. I am sure Brett will be the coach of the Flames in twenty years.
