Do sky news know where Dublin is?

Cabaal · 2004-05-07 10:23:05

I think not... t would seem Sky News haven't a clue were Dublin is located within Ireland, or atleast it would seem from there advert that there running for Sky News Ireland. Sky News seem to think Dublin is In Wexford apparently. What do you think? Taken from: http://www.skynewscentre.co.uk/

I think that site is a piss take.

I know sky news are bad, but the amount of spelling mistakes and other cock-ups is mad

The ad. is still probably real... wouldn't be suprised. (topic is very much glasscock)

that doesnt really prove much tbh... or anything for that matter..

I would be very surprised and impressed if this was a fake, with all the forums, and information about the station etc etc, It would have to be someone with an unbelievable amount of spare time... and even if it was, and it was setup to slag sky, its not really doing much about it, given the picture above is real and not photoshopped, and there isnt much else on the site thats out of the ordinary for sky

yeah that aughta do it

my mistake, apologies and what-not.... but the fact does remain that the ad is real

(and I cannot believe that anyone would make such a site in praise of Sky News... but thats my opinion i guess)

(and i was right about it not being a site to slag sky :D:D)

I saw this ad again this morning, and i *think* they've fixed the map.

I can't be sure though, its only on the screen for about a second.
