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

@KingofCabal @Suikogaiden sikhism - seen as muslim.

That pic even got that leap of faith platform on the right.

So, no one could tell it was a digital image?

These people are either lazy or total dumbasses

Made my day

Oh god this is great.

in other news giant cuttle fish looking space ships invade the earth.... ;)

@Suikogaiden ah the Hollywood zombies hard at work....

brain... use it... it make you.. think.... thinking is good...good is good.

OMFG LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

I live in the middle east and personally I'm getting sick of everyone and their grandmother thinking we live in some random Indiana johns/transformers/ insert random stereo type about the middle east movie..

honestly most movies are fiction and others are just plain stupid/insulting, we don't live in tents in the desert most middle east countries have places that would put 90% of the cities in USA or Europe to shame, the middle east just looks like everywhere else, we have cars and cells and iphones and roads and chairs and TVs

people in the west (in general) should grow out of the stereo typical bullshit Hollywood has fed them when they were young . People in the west are so detached from the real world I could fake an alien invasion right now and most of them would fall for it.

it's pretty obvious it's computer generated I know they think we live in tents which is true lately but we are not cartoons.

ITV's gaffe i can understand, Arma's visuals are pretty realistic..

but how dumb does a guy in the BBC have to be to not be able to identify the UN's logo ?????

It would seem this news team was out of "sync"
*Puts on shades*
YEEEEEAAAAAHHHH!!!!!

It's alright, Danish news channel. Syria doesn't need an apology, and Assad could use a visit from Altair right about now.

This makes me very proud of being Danish. Well, not really. ^^

Today the same News Channel is covering the election on Greenland, and meant to show the flag of Greenland in the right lower corner. It was a good idea, but they used the Japanese flag instead by accident. They look familiar, but come on~! c:

Meh they probably thought AC had better resolution than Damascus.

Oh, those Danes. So cute.

Surprised by BBC, though. I know it's old, but tsk tsk.

if only altair could truly be there pwning all the war mongers....

News update, many citizens have reported seeing a hooded figure jumping off tall buildings and landing in their carefully gathered hay stack. Farmer's claim it to be the works of teenagers from the local gangs being high on "hash".

Breaking news, several key members of the Kingdom of Jerusalem were murdered in what was thought to be a re-initiation rite for a hashashin member who has fallen from grace. More on this at the 9 o'clock news...

Why are you surprised. Working in news business only require ability talk BS 24/7 and support those who fund your BS.

News is about money, it is not about relevance or providing solid information.

I've got to say this is embarrassing... At least BBC did something sort of the same as well.

This does not justify the mistake. AC picture is from the ages of the crusade and cities nowadays look more modern. If the news agency cannot tell whats the difference between 12th century and now, how can they be trusted?

ahahahahah!! i wish i had seen it when it aired XD

@KingofCabal @Suikogaiden

Fact Muslims kill more Muslims than anyone else.

Muslim terrorists - they bomb people and then hide in their own people...and wonder why they get caught in the crossfire. Using your own people as human shields is totally the US fault.

If they get caught they whine for the Geneva convention which they were breaking by not wearing a uniform. In fact it would be far more difficult to find a muslim nation who followed the Geneva convention.

They should be complimented if anything.

WTF, WTH!?!

Im from Denmark, and what the F*** HAHA,

But they should be prould of giving the people top quality News ;P

I don't know if i should be be shocked or not...but its pretty funny. The Halo united nations one is epic too!

lol that was funny. they run their news like its a blog

they got it right, that is Syria, about 1800 years ago lol

Just think how much fake news we will be getting once they do perfect computer imagery.

I see it's not just the American media that employs idiots these days.

@KingofCabal @Suikogaiden That comment of yours was stereotyping. While a lot of Suikogaiden's comments irk me, you're not doing credit to your argument.

@Suikogaiden I think it's pretty certain that the majority of "terrorist" attacks on US soil were carried out by rogue elements of the US government in order to further their own agenda. The troops are doing a pretty good job of securing oil and other resources for corporations, but that's about it...

Thats what happens when you get your pictures for a story of google images lol.

Easy mistake to make... I once mistook a picture of Birmingham to be the African Savannah...

she's blonde xD

(1) Ubisioft should be proud for creating a realistic render of my city
(2) I don't recall my city suffering from anti-aliasing issues.

LOL this sounds like a story that should be on The Onion!! You know whoever did this is getting fired lmao.

You know that guy is getting ripped a new one for that...his buddies at the station will never let him live this one down.

Thats awesome.

That is too funny. LOL

Does that state just how realistic game images have become or what? haha

Sad how the news doesn't legally have to be factual anymore.

HAHAHAHA, omg that is so great

Hilarious! We can expect SimCity simulated cities now to be used as stand-ins for news channels background scenes.

@Suikogaiden Mooslimes: Jell-O cows?

Im from syria and would like to say : WTF????.

and this only going to get worse (and funny for me) come next gen
