Remember: They’re The Professionals

The BBC confuses the UN Security Council with, er, Halo

THE BBC apologised to viewers after mistakenly showing a graphic from the hit computer game Halo in place of the UN Security Council logo.

In a report last week on the continuing deadly unrest in Syria, the British public broadcaster ran a large graphic behind presenter Sophie Raworth as she read the news, The Guardian reported.

Unfortunately, instead of the Security Council logo, viewers were shown the badge of the United Nations Space Command, the military agency depicted in popular interstellar war game Halo.

We’re just untrained morons in pajamas who sorely the need layers and
layers of fact-checkers that the MSM has.

Thanks to Ace for the levity.

    Be glad they didn’t grab this instead.

    I daresay Halo’s blue helmets inspire more fear and respect than the UN’s.
