A formatting bug caused a film review to display 1 star instead of the intended 0 stars. The correction was published on February 2, 2026—a date that hasn't happened yet.

Someone pushed a datetime bug to production and nobody noticed until The Guardian had to explain why they're correcting reviews from the future. The Jira ticket for this probably has 47 comments, 3 sprint reassignments, and ends with "works on my machine."

The real tragedy? The reviewer wanted to give it zero stars but the system said "nah, minimum is 1." Classic off-by-one error meets timezone chaos meets someone hardcoding dates. Beautiful disaster.
