Danish TV channel apologises for mistaking Assassin's Creed for Syria

Martin Gaston you dawg!!! lol funny i read this very same exact article on IGN yesterday including the last part about the BBC and Halo, the only thing you didnt copy from IGN was the link to the BBC story

@Suikogaiden BTW the number of deaths resulting from acts of terror perpetrated by Muslim American suspects was zero in 2012. By comparison, there were 66 deaths from mass shootings in the United States in 2012 by lone gunmen.

@Suikogaiden

The US has killed more Muslims over the past 30 years than all terrorist attacks COMBINED. this is a Fact.

Goodluck to you!

Proof positive that newstations shouldn't let the station controllers play games during a newcast.

@Suikogaiden @KingofCabal Yet your the one insulting people online!

@sortajan @KingofCabal @Suikogaiden Good God do you people not understand the idea of association! That is exactly why I said "Each religion is associated directly with a specific race, even though people of other races might also follow it."

Thus trolling a specific religion can be seen as racist to a specific group of people!

And in fact what you are arguing for is that you directly insulted not only one group of people but insulted every single muslim who has ever lived!

ONCE AGAIN WAKE UP!!

@KingofCabal @Suikogaiden now THAT might be racist

@Suikogaiden Your kidding me right?

Christian - seen as Western white religion.

Buddism - seen as Chinese/Asian.

Muslim - Seen arabic.

Judaism - Seen as Isreali.

Hinduism - Seen as Indian.

Shinto - Seen as Japanese.

Each religion is associated directly with a specific race, even though people of other races might also follow it.

Wake up!

Considering Syria's been in a civil war for a while now, I would have expected them to use a shot of a skyline from Gears of War.

Finally, proof of progression in achieving photo-realism in our games!

@Suikogaiden Stereotyping an entire group of people just becasue of a few madmen is completely ignorant. Might I ask you what religion and race you belong to? As I am quite sure I could do exactly the same to you.

@Suikogaiden Do you have any idea how racist that coment is? Grow up!

Well it might have been a shot of the skyline...about 500 years ago!

Whoopsie daisy!

Brilliantly funny! It's a wonderful world we live in.

I had to celebrate with a bit of Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V

Haha!

Hah for once I can laugh at games being in the news.

Wow...never heard that story about the BBC.

Damn, I wish I'd seen that at the time. That would have been 5 solid minutes of pure laughter.

The Daily Show apparently has competition.

It would be funny if the people mistake a screenshot of an NES game for an actual photo!

Wasn't the irony that one of her reports was talking about gamers unable to distinguish reality from video games.... Touche in that case.

Yeah, that is actually rather insulting. When a news outlet doesn't realize Damascus has built some new buildings in the past few HUNDRED years, you've got a problem.

Says something for the graphics

Old people still don't know how to use the internet properly. I mean... older people than me =P

What next? Assassin's Creed IV for the Japanese scientific whaling footage?

Lol at the BBC and the UNSC.

With the fidelity of digitally rendered and altered images fast approaching the point where we can no longer tell the difference between fiction and reality, expect more of these types of stories to pop up.

@Venatorcruiser

Really?? Wow... just.... wow!

@Suikogaiden Wtf is up with you? You're such an obnoxious douchebag.

@TheBlackTowerTK @uknownada u cool bro no worries

@uknownada sorry too maybe i carrieduponreasonable

@Suikogaiden oh man. ur a d-bag (even after ur edit)

I can understand the AC thing, but the Halo one.... Damn BBC!!!

The jobmates at the tv channel should make a joke on her and put a Lollipop Chainsaw photo next time.

@i_like_pie223 @laxsiber That was actually ITV, another network in the UK! But that one was hilarious, yea.

I'll still always have a soft spot for when the BBC did the UNSC mix-up, though. That one is my very favourite :)

Looks like someone are searching images at google.

I think the gfx artists of Assassin's Creed should take this as one of the biggest compliments they've ever received :)

reports of out rage in Syria as thousands of assassins creed copies are burned.

It's a shame, i am Syrian live in Damascus it have some old Building but this is too much we are Third World this true, but we know Cement for god's sake, they must apology to the us for the insult ...

and by the wey it is Minaret not Tower

Funniest thing I've seen all day. Speaks well for Assassin's Creed if someone mistook a game still for a photo.

Not using verified sources and are they even citing? I would expect they would realise its a game if they cited properly...Come on guys, you learn this shit in the first year of University at the LATEST. Its like they just pulled one from google images and left it at that.
