I never thought I'd see the day

A restaurant is apologizing for the mistakes in its menu.

Now, before you get too excited, the error is bigger than "fried rice without the rice." Ajisen Noodles, a popular fast-food Japanese noodlery in China, calls Taiwan an independent country in the menu.

"We are sorry. It is by all means a serious mistake with the copy editing of the menu," said Miao Tianfu, a spokesman for the Japanese-based company.

He said all of the company's outlets have stopped using the controversial menus and the person responsible for the mistake has been fired, according to Shanghai Daily.

Ouch.
