China is going to be really mad! I hope they don't harm him for this. I guess the world is watching - now, but later? And secret less noticeable stuff?
Anyone know if he agreed to accept the prize?

I don't think one spleling mistake is enough to condemn a site as fake.
It's clearly legitimate; highest rank on google for "nobel", listed on wikipedia as the official site, etc etc etc

Here is the statement Mr Liu made to the court when being sentenced:
I hope to be the last victim of China's endless literary inquisition, and that after this no one else will ever be jailed for their speech.
Freedom of expression is the basis of human rights, the source of humanity and the mother of truth. To block freedom of speech is to trample on human rights, to strangle humanity and to suppress the truth.

Apparently, China blacked out both CNN and BBC when the announcement was made (http://twitter.com/joCNN/status/26731788647).

It wasn't the spelling mistake, it was the complete lack of content. I would expect more of a writeup of why they they are giving it to him, etc, etc. The spelling mistake really caught my eye though - it just seemed unprofessional. It's just not what you expect when you hear "Nobel prize".

#8It will be interesting to see whether China is going to follow through with their threat to downgrade their political relations with Norway now.

Could you elaborate? I live in Norway, but isn't known to the China-Norway political relations.

The peace prize is awarded by the Norwegian Nobel Committee, and not the 'normal' Nobel Institute. The official site for the peace prize is at nobelpeaceprize.org and the official announcement is at http://nobelpeaceprize.org/en_GB/announce-2010/
