“I seem to be the only person who has spotted this, and nobody seems to be raising any questions,” Pawle added, saying that neither event organizers nor the police knew about the flag. But it’s very distinctive, the ISIS flag.”

Even Pawle noted the writing on the flag wasn’t in Arabic, adding “It looks like it could be gobbledegook. She reported that a man dressed in black and white “was waving what appeared to be a very bad mimicry but what appeared to be a very clear attempt to mimic the ISIS flag, the black-and-white flag with the distinctive lettering.”īut both Pawle and her CNN colleagues, including anchor Suzanne Malveaux, don’t seem to notice that the flag actually consists of images of dildos and butt plugs, rendered in the style of ISIS. CNN reported Saturday that a man was flying an ISIS flag at London’s gay-pride parade, but it turned out to be a banner covered in sex toys.ĬNN International reporter Lucy Pawle called in to the network after spotting the flag.
