CNET News has an interesting little story about Evite, who distribute calendars. Not only did they get the dates of the major Jewish holidays wrong this year (they apparently listed the 2002 dates) - the calendar list Yom Kippor as a "Day to Party":
"In addition, we also wish to apologize for having listed Yom Kippur as one of our 'Reasons To Party,'" the mea culpa continued. "We understand and respect that Yom Kippur is a Day of Atonement, a day to be taken seriously to reflect and fast, and as such, one of the most important Jewish Holidays in the year."
