Help with uninstalling playonlinux

[theyoyoist]

I have had issues with uninstalling playonlinux, when I open synaptic package manager it tells my this.
E: Type '--2010-10-21' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/playonlinux.list
E: The list of sources could not be read.
Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report

When I tried the terminal sudo apt-get purge playonlinux

E: Type '--2010-10-21' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/playonlinux.list
E: The list of sources could not be read.
