The LAT correction is for a short item submitted by an outsider, not a story "concocted" by the Times. Here's the offending entry in its entirety: <i>Richard Donner Filmmaker, "Superman," "Lethal Weapon" Il Piccolino Trattoria in Beverly Hills is a hidden gem. I hope it stays that way. Maybe I should have given the wrong address! 350 N. Robertson Blvd., Beverly Hills. (310) 659-2220</i> Indeed, he did give the wrong address. Shame on the Times for not fact-checking it. But saying an entire story is "concocted" because of one factual error is absurd. Which is why I assume this was posted in jest. The comments, too, right? This is a joke, right? The LAT correction is for a short item submitted by an outsider, not a story “concocted” by the Times. Here’s the offending entry in its entirety:

Richard Donner
Filmmaker, “Superman,” “Lethal Weapon”

Il Piccolino Trattoria in Beverly Hills is a hidden gem. I hope it stays that way. Maybe I should have given the wrong address! 350 N. Robertson Blvd., Beverly Hills. (310) 659-2220

They're now so tangled that they can never get straight. Their only hope--"it will go away." Keep on 'em! You’re driving the LAT crazy, Patrick. They’re now so tangled that they can never get straight. Their only hope–”it will go away.”

Keep on ‘em!
