Whoopsie.

Oops! A Danish telly channel has had to apologize after using a screenshot from Assassin’s Creed as a backdrop for a news report about the war-torn country of Syria.

Apparently, one of the telly channel’s employees found the image online and thought it was a photo of Damascus’ skyline.

Jacob Nybroe, head of news at TV2, said it was a “reminder to us all of the importance of verifying the sources of pictures”, according to the Times of Israel.

Not bad for a video game that will be six years old later this year.

It’s not the first TV channel to make a mistake and mistakenly use an image from a game in a news report. Last year, the BBC goofed and used the UNSC logo from Halo instead of the United Nations’.

And then there was the time ITV confused a video clip from the war game ArmA 2 with real footage of a Libya-funded IRA attack.
