CNN Made A Very Embarrassing Mistake When Reporting On The Gay Pride Parade

There were amazing scenes all over the world as people celebrated Gay Pride yesterday but one news channel suspected a more sinister motive.

CNN were reporting on the London parade when they spotted a flag that they believed to represent terrorist group ISIS and spent a considerable amount of time discussing the relevance of the banner in its broadcast.

However, it turns out that the flag in question was not covered in Arabic lettering but rather, dildos and butt plugs – with Twitter users quick to point out reporter Lucy Pawle’s error.

.@lucypawle The markings on that flag isn't Arabic. It's dildos.

@lucypawle the ISIS flag at the Pride parade looked like gibberish because the "text" was actually outlines of sex toys. Obviously satire.
