BBC News mistakes Halo UNSC logo for UN - With Master Chief reporter, Sophie Raworth.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...sc-logo-for-un

BBC News has accidentally broadcast a logo from Halo during a news report on the ongoing conflict in Syria.

The blooper occured in the background of last Thursday's One O'Clock News, in which presenter Sophie Raworth discussed the real-life United Nations.

But the logo shown on-sceen was for the UNSC - Halo's fictious United Nations Space Command.

Facebook user Luke Mair nabbed an image of the error when rewatching the programme via BBC iPlayer. The programme has since become unavailable to watch due to the BBC's standard day limits.

A YouTube clip of the error has surfaced online:

[Metalmurphy]

Yeah well, that's what you get when you unknowingly use Google Image Search.

[Arnie]

Between this and the barn Microsoft are really kicking the ARG off in a strange way.

[TTP]

Guess someone was too quick at picking up the first picture upon googling "UNSC".

I think the picked this one http://blog.zombiepandemic.com/Wiki/...C/Default.aspx upon doing this search http://lmgtfy.com/?q=UNSC

Wow ... how on earth could they make such a mistake. Shame it isn't around the time of Halo 4's release though :-P

[toythatkills]

I can't believe I pay £40 a year for Gold and now Microsoft are putting ads in my BBC news. WHERE WILL IT END!?

[Hawkins]

Maybe thats how the logo came about for the Spartans, and there was just a glitch in the matrix that allowed it to be shown on tv...

[fly high ~ayunite~]

Surely the BBC just can't Google image stuff and use it on national tv like that? What about copyrights and licensing or does that not apply to editorial broadcast?

[BosSin]

You know, I may have actually seen some of this news report when it originally aired

The state of modern day journalism. This is literally it. If Google went down none of them would know anything about anything.

That's brilliant mate.

[Nils]

It's quite an improvement, the UNSC logo with the similarity to the US Navy Seals logo almost makes the UN seems like they have a fucking spine, almost.

[Littlegator]

oh my god

[Gui_PT]

oh my god

[metalshade]

LOL, glad I don't pay a TV license anymore.

[Oracle Dragon]

Does anyone know what this was in response to, or is there a youtube clip? I'd love to know what happened just beforehand because it looks like it was pretty good ;)

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

+1 on the Viral Marketing for H4

[Dead Man Typing]

If Google went down, they would just spend more time reporting on tweets.

Incredible!
