Lee Meets Ward

South Korean President Lee Myung-bak had the opportunity to meet Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward Friday as Lee was in town for the G20 conference.

It's no surprise that the local celebrity Lee was set up with is, in fact, part Korean. In the article, Ward is described as a "Korean-America football star." That's something he's most likely never been described as in America. To each their own, I suppose.

A big tip of the hat to the reporter of the story and the editors at The Korea Times who failed to put the "h" on the end of "Pittsburg" on two occasions in the story.

Dear Korea Times, I know you're a small English-language newspaper with no journalistic standards, but city names aren't that difficult, are they?

Take a look at the "Pittsburg" story here.
