The reporter on location didn’t look close enough, apparently, because the flag instead had markings on it that symbolized … other things.

An "Isis flag" at the London Pride parade unnerves @CNN, who apparently don't recognize that the letters are dildos. pic.twitter.com/DlF6Nyqzvy

Apparently @CNN thinks a flag comprised of butt plugs and dildos is an ISIS flag. #UniteBlue #news #p2 pic.twitter.com/TzuxcmLvTV
