The 2018 Winter Olympics are currently underway in PyeongChang, South Korea.

PyeongChang: not to be confused with restaurant chain P.F. Chang's. While that may seem obvious, apparently some sort snafu led to ABC 7 in Chicago posting an Olympics graphic under the moniker of "P.F. Chang 2018".

Yeah, that is not ideal there.

According to the Chicago Tribune, the graphic was called a "mix-up"... which would only make sense if the P.F. Chang's logo there didn't also have a knockoff Olympic rings set up in there. Why did ABC 7 possess this graphic in the first place?

The news station has since apologized for the error.

As for the Olympics, the Games will continue to run through February 25th. As of press time, Norway leads the way in total medal count with 11, while Germany leads the gold medal count with five. The U.S. currently stands with three gold medals and six total medals.
