This CNN report on the gay pride parade in London belongs in the Hall of Fame of media stupidity. A breathless reporter on the scene described seeing an Islamic State flag and wondered why anyone would fly a banner that represented gay oppression.
CNN International reporter Lucy Pawle called in to the network after spotting the flag.
She reported that a man dressed in black and white "was waving what appeared to be a very bad mimicry but what appeared to be a very clear attempt to mimic the ISIS flag, the black-and-white flag with the distinctive lettering."
But both Pawle and her CNN colleagues, including anchor Suzanne Malveaux, don't seem to notice that the flag actually consists of images of dildos and butt plugs, rendered in the style of ISIS. Even Pawle noted the writing on the flag wasn't in Arabic, adding "It looks like it could be gobbledegook. But it’s very distinctive, the ISIS flag.”
"I seem to be the only person who has spotted this, and nobody seems to be raising any questions," Pawle added, saying that neither event organizers nor the police knew about the flag. She suggested later that it might be a "subtle" joke.
"It was very subtle and us Brits known for our subtle sense of humor but I'm not sure that everyone, if they had spotted it, might have thought it was particularly amusing," Pawle added, with Malveaux saying, "it may be a parody."
Yeah, subtle. Whatever. But after hitting bottom with this report, CNN kept digging:
CNN also brought in national security analyst Peter Bergen for its "exclusive" report. Bergen seemed puzzled by the sight, saying that it's unclear who was waving the flag or what his motivations were

As I said yesterday. Imagine the level of mental illness it takes to have such pride in what you stick in your ass that you put it on a flag and march in a parade.
If a “video” can set them off, I wonder what this flag is going to do to them?
Okay how do we know that gay muslims did not make an ISIS flag out of sex toys?
Just saying.
If you thought that it was bad being caught and murdered by regular ISIS, just wait until you see the methods gay ISIS kills people. (beware: the time between my satire and reality catching up can be in the minutes.)
They are missing the point of the flag...it’s a call to conquest for the pervs. Their goal is the same as ISIS when it comes to judeo-christian society. Conversion or anihilation.
Liberals do their best to pretend that gay sex isn’t about sticking things up your butt and this guy goes and makes a flag about it for the parade! LOL
I agree. It’s no mistake that it could be mistaken for an ISIS flag. It was meant to look like one, and to deliver a message of unstoppable power.
