On Friday's NBC Today, as co-host Meredith Vieira spoke with correspondent Ben Fogle about Britain's Prince Harry being temporarily stuck at the North Pole, the headline on screen read: "Cooling His Heels; Prince Harry Stuck in the Artic." Halfway through the segment, the show's graphics department apparently noticed the spelling error, changing it to "Arctic."

The morning news program has done several stories on Prince Harry's travels in recent days, making the mistake all the more odd.

Some guy sitting at a computer left out the letter C, and somehow it deserves an article? Slow news day.

Oh cmon. It was funny.

This is the same press that thought Dan Quayle didn't even deserve to live because the former VP thought the word potato had an "e" at the end of it.
