ISIS Flag Or Butt Plugs? CNN Mistakes Gay Pride Flag Full Of Sex Toy Images For ISIS Flag [Video]
According to Dead Spin, CNN made a gaffe when reporting about an ISIS flag spotted at gay pride parade that turned out to be a flag full of dildos. The CNN report about the so-called ISIS flag, which was black and white and reminiscent of ISIS flags, lasted for a good four minutes. Instead of the ISIS extremist faction getting into the London Pride march and sending a message of terrorism, it was really a tongue in cheek kind of flag about sex toys.

As expected, CNN is getting roasted online for their snafu.
Guys, who among us hasn’t mistaken a flag of dildos for the ISIS flag?

For the record, @CNN, there is nothing MORE anti-ISIS than waving a mock ISIS flag made of dildos at a PRIDE PARADE.

The ISIS, or Islamic State, also made news recently when a mother who named her daughter Isis was surprised about the kind of hateful responses she received for her #TeamIsis gear that sought to support her daughter’s health crises and journey.
Got to love CNN, mistaking a dildo covered flag for an ISIS flag.

The mistake by made by CNN’s Lucy Pawle is certainly gaining traction online and lots of attention on social media.
“If you look at the flag closely, it’s clearly not Arabic. In fact, it looks like it could be gobbledegook. But it’s very distinctively the ISIS flag.”

As reported by the Inquisitr, ISIS aspirations shocked a North Carolina teen’s parents when they realized their child tried to join the terrorist group.
#CNN devoted an entire segment to an “#ISIS flag” at a #gaypride event. The flag was actually a bunch of dildos. https://t.co/Ch1pmqpJAz

Searching for tweets about the ISIS flag subject also turns up plenty of reactions about the Wal-Mart that refused to make a confederate cake for a man, but happily made him an ISIS cake.
With video. Walmart refused to make Confederate flag cake, made one with ISIS flag. #tcot http://t.co/lzAocj2kXy
