I long ago abandoned the sitcom as a form of entertainment.While there are exceptions, a staple of the format is some main character makes a mistake at the beginning of the episode, and spends the rest of the episode telling increasingly difficult-to-support lies in order to cover it up. At the end, everything explodes, the lying character is exposed, and no lessons are learned (because the same crap happens the next week).

Sadly, this is how things tend to happen in real life, too. But every now and then, a mistake is made… and everybody involved fesses up and makes the best of it.

Random woman attends Swedish ministerial meal

Short form: a former government official was invited to a dinner at the opening of an environmental conference. But the invitation mistakenly went to a whole different woman with the same name. End result: the mistake was figured out quickly, it was explained to the whole group and everybody had a good time (except, I suppose, for the woman who was actually supposed to be there).
