British communications regulator Ofcom is investigating how a UK documentary examining possible connections between Muammar Gaddafi and the IRA confused video game play for actual IRA footage of a helicopter being shot down.
GamePron: Adding onto the news that a British broadcaster accidentally included video game footage in a serious IRA documentary, the UK broadcast regulator Ofcom has started receiving complaints.
Earlier today, the internet was abuzz with reports regarding a British networks blunder in a documentary meant to showcase how the Libyan dictator, Moammar Gadhafi, supplied the IRA with weaponry in the 80s. Instead of using real footage, ITV network used a clip from the war simulator Arma 2. Undoubtedly, it was the kind of advertisement money cant buy for Arma, not so much for ITV.

<br /> James MacLeod, a spokesperson for the network, has issued a statement regarding the fiasco, reports Nightmare Mode.

The levels of wrongness this situation operate on are like a journalistic version of the various layers of Dante's Inferno. But then, that's what happens when you seem to research your hard-hitting TV documentaries by browsing YouTube and not bothering to read the comments...
