I read mind-blowing one where a guy was walking down the street and a payphone rang. He answered it and the caller was a person who was trying to reach him at home but had misdialled, randomly entering the payphone number instead.
When designing the landscape scenes for video game Deus Ex one of the artists left out a major landmak of the New York City Skyline: the Twin Towers. To cover the flub, the game made up something about a terrorist attack. This game was made in 2000.
