The New York Times covers... the AVN Awards?

Adam's post about a BBC reporter's surreal experience in Las Vegas -- home of both the CES and the Adult Entertainment Expo this week -- reminds me about another surreal thing I saw yesterday: coverage of the Adult Video News awards in... The New York Times. Thaaaat's right, kids. First Jayson Blair, then Judith Miller, now porn. Seeing a mostly-serious article about a porn awards ceremony in the Times is even weirder than seeing a review of Family Guy in The New Yorker, but not by much.

But it looks like a detail in Matt Richtel's article was not quite right, which led the Times to run in today's editions what I'm sure is one of it's most embarrassing corrections ever:

"An article yesterday about the awards ceremony for the sex-films industry included erroneous information from AVN Publications, the program organizer, on the name of one award-winning film by Vivid Entertainment. It is "The New Devil in Miss Jones," not "The Devil in Miss Jones.""

Whew. Glad they cleared that one up.
