CNN mistakes flag displaying sex toys at gay Pride parade for ISIS flag

[Deleted]

I saw this on my twitter feed a few minutes ago. Apparently, someone made a flag that kinda looks like the ISIS flag, but instead of Arabic symbols demonizing the west, it showed sex toys, including butt plugs, dildoes and other adult toys.

Just like the person who I originally saw the twitter report from: Did CNN really not have a single gay man in the newsroom that could say "I recognize most of those symbols as sex toys"?

that are symbols for sex toys?

Why would gay men have extensive knowledge of sex toys?

The person with the flag is a retard, judging from that photo you can't tell the difference unless you are up close.

Thats a nice flag they got there.

Some things are not sterotypes.

I don't even see the flag. All I see is rainbows and happiness. Fuck ISIS. Isis too. Egyptian skank.

I'm not gay and even I recognize some of the toys on that flag as what they are.

That's what happens when you'd rather be first than be right. What a complete joke CNN has become.

Why wouldn't they?

It's easy to say when you are looking at a still photo. Imagine how many people who are further away who sees a waving flag that looks just like the flag of isis.

Why wouldn't they?

I might be completely wrong, or perhaps I don't know enough about sex toys. I don't really see what toys two men would make use of.

It does look like an IS flag in a still image. I think it's hilarious.

The lady did say it was a poor imitation, rather than the actual ISIS flag. She didn't report anything wrong.

I guess it's somehow amusing that they didn't recognize butt plugs?

They didn't get the joke they reported it wrong.

Nobody seemed to notice the outrageous offensive ISIs flag mock up.

They reported an ISIS flag imitation in the pride parade, how is that wrong?

Because CNN was reporting an ISIS flag, the woman on the phone who saw the flag said it was a mock flag.

They got that right but all they said was wrong.

Yeah they got it wrong initially, but the segment they aired made it clear that it was an imitation. No one who watched it would have been misinformed.
