This is CNN, But That’s Not the ISIL Flag Flying Over London Pride

Amidst the festivities of the annual Gay Pride Parade in London, a CNN correspondent noticed something amiss: a lone black flag. Could it be the banner of ISIL? Of course, looking closer, what CNN assumed were Arabic letters were actually drawings of some pretty elaborate sex toys.

"I mean, if you look at the flag closely, it’s clearly not Arabic," Lucy Pawle told CNN, assuming the flag to be a crude imitation of the flag that represents the self-proclaimed Islamic State terrorist group. 

"In fact, it looks like it could be gobbledygook, but it’s very distinctive, the ISIS flag."

If CNN had bothered to run those words through Google Translator they might have realized that it was not, in fact, Arabic. Pawle was looking at a satirical banner. One depicting sex toys.

Though, in her defense, some of those dildoes do appear to have some dangerous angles.
