Sometime later, an unknown denizen of cyberspace stripped the credits from that list and attached it to the bottom of a legitimate Wall Street Journal article on poorly-translated movie titles, and tossed it back into the cyber-sea.

Then, in November of 1998, after having seen a copy of the modified WSJ article, those little scamps at the New York Times used nine items from our list as *actual* examples of "Cantonese" movie titles in an article they published.

That's when, as the saying goes, the shit hit the fan.

Top5 continues to reap the benefits of The Times' screwup, receiving buttloads of free publicity from the inevitable retractions. And just when things started to calm down, our list resurfaced again -- this time, one of our items was reported as fact on ABC World News with Peter Jennings.
