The reporter who mistook gay sex toys on a parody ISIS flag for Arabic writing AMPis now being roundly mocked on the Twitters. Poor thing.
@Paddy0pedobom I reported no such thing

And is now on Twitter claiming not to have reported it at all. https://t.co/CowfRIuwMT

.@lucypawle The markings on that flag isn't Arabic. It's dildos.

I’m sorry but that right there is hilarious.
Now on @cnn, terror reporter @lucypawle finds another ISIS flag in Paris suburb:"No one except me noticed" pic.twitter.com/JO1txCJ5aX

The best part of the dildo flag video is when CNN reporter @lucypawle admonishes others for not having seen an ISIS flag in their midst

Earlier before her CNN appearance, it looks like she contacted the Pride Parade organizers, but they must have let her continue in her error LOL!
@LondonLGBTPride hey Lucy from CNN trying to get hold of you? Is there a press office/number I can call? Or follow me for a dm? thanks!
— Lucy Pawle (@lucypawle) June 27, 2015
And this might be the moment she discovered it:
@Argana79 where did you see that?!
— Lucy Pawle (@lucypawle) June 27, 2015
But actually, my friend @IloiloKano had an excellent point about all this:
.@SooperMexican The fact that @LucyPawle saw a flag with sex toys on it & thought it was "gobbledygook" is endearing to me. Brava, Lucy! =D

Yes he’s right. It’s a hilarious story but it’s kind of endearing that she didn’t realize what those symbols were.AMP
