South Park Correction of the day

THE New York Times regret the error:

CORRECTION of the week in The Metro:

Several readers have pointed out that alleged crime lord Carlo Padovani (Metro Friday) is said to have modelled himself on Tony Montana, the fictional Cuban drug dealer played by Al Pacino in the 1983 movie Scarface – not Tony Manero, who was played by John Travolta in Saturday Nigh Fever. Metro strives for complete accuracy but, in the heat of meeting deadlines, mistakes do sometimes slip in.”
