“The Daily Mail does not, last time I read it (which was years ago), have boobs in it. You’re thinking of stuff like The Sun, The Star, and the News of the World…”

It does have, however, a glorious selection of tits.

I find it hilarious that at the time I’m posting this, there have been only 3 comments successfully made to that Daily Mail article. How many people here have sent comments in saying it’s bogus? Incredible…

The Daily Mail is deleting comments that explain the origin of the image.

May I just say that Wasteland is still one of the best games I’ve ever played?

so is the daily mail the british daily with boobs in it, or is that all of them?

i can see how sourcing the image might be a bit difficult at first, but that’s what distributed information systems (and metatags) are for, right?

Someone needs to make jihadist versions of other Fallout art.

Big arrows pointing at Brotherhood of Steel knights saying die crusaders die?
The pip boy with explosives strapped around him?
Supermutants wearing hijabs?

“I say we send the SAS into Bethseda”

I think they’ve probably already been. Don’t they do some of their training in North Wales?

That screenshot reminds me: How about an RPS retrospective on Wastelands?

http://www.flatearthnews.net/ – a good, and terribly depressing read about the state of the media.

My commentary to this Pullitzer worthy piece of journalism:

“So, terrorists are using official art of a commercial videogame to illustrate their “nightmare” (http://fallout.bethsoft.com/eng/art/fallout3-conceptart1.html). If they are cheap enough to not make their own illustrations, I wouldn’t worry too much about their capacity to destroy the world.

In any case, dear Mr Wigmore, are you completely sure this image is part of a scary internet discussion of islamist militants dreaming to nuke the white house? Have you considered that yours facts are actually wrong and this image belongs to a discussion about a videogame, and has nothing to do with terrorism, at all?

Maybe you should consider it.

Sincerely.”

Is not like it’s going to pass their filter. They are probably better controlling the user’s posts than getting their facts straight, but hopefully if they receive more commentaries like this one, they will feel just little of professional embarrassment.
