It also says a lot about how cost cutting can affect companies because you absolutely know that there was a bigger team doing this stuff before 2020 because we didn’t hear about anything like that going. And now in the space of a year, WALTER was almost renamed to an actual Nazi general and Dominic Mysterio was associated with goddamn Auschwitz. That doesn’t happen if you have a substantial team working with this stuff to double and triple check. Ludwig Kaiser was also almost given the same name as a Nazi too. Pete sake, of course. |

Nobody has claimed that though? It's a giant sloppy careless f***-up and I don't think anyone is looking at it as anything beyond a giant lsoppy careless f***-up. You're arguing this in a thread that literally calls it the "Worst Possible Mistake" right in the damn title lol. This is a really silly thing to play Captain Literalman over. |

If we can't find space for hyperbole, especiallyu when faced with the most collar pull searing discomfort shit imaginable, then we are inherently doomed as a people. |

Not knowing that looks like a concentration camp says more about the sad state of Holocaust education in this country than anything. There was nothing apparent in this though unless I am missing something? Seriously just asking at this point? Here is a New Mexico prison that looks run down and ancient as well but no way to differentiate what it is used for or where. It was an absolutely stupid move but to say the footage used should have been immediately identified is a hard sell.  |

I know, trying to put perspective on things really drags down the melodrama of the whole thread. Sorry for trying to make people make sense. |

Sorry for trying to make people make sense. So, what, should we poll OP on if they see this editing mistake as worse than Vince's sexual harassment and rape allegations? Should we ask that very normal question of them just so we have perspective? God how do you take a thread about a picture of actual Auschwitz and manage to make it into a huge bummer. |

The opening sentence of the thread is "Whatever you're thinking, it's way, way worse." Yes, because accidentally using footage of a place that 99.9% of the pearl clutchers on these forums wouldn't recognize without being told is WAY worse than Vince McMahon sexually assaulting women or Owen Hart dying or any of the other real atrocities this company has committed. Folks, we gotta grow up. This is ridiculous. |

No, people should grow up and realize that mistakes happen, and maybe stop being so damn dramatic over nothing. |

I know I'm just going to be screaming into the void here, but as someone who has worked with stock footage a fair bit in my life, you would actually be amazed at how disorganized it can be. Many times, things ARE in fact just labeled like "Prison 7" or "Little Girl A-23" that should be FAR more specific. And as far as some folks are saying about "do your research" and the like...I hate to break it to you, but things like this happen all the time, and it's rarely caught by anyone at home. This was just a rare case of it actually being noticed. And at any rate, nobody is doing thorough research on a 2 second clip of stock footage, get real. There is every possibility that this was an honest mistake. EDIT: Also, I can't help but LOL at the overly dramatic title and opening post of this thread. The worst possible screwup? Really? The same company that has literally wound up with dozens and dozens of dead employees and assaults and shit on their watch, and THIS is what you consider a big screwup? Come on, let's get a little perspective here. Tosh.O did a segment where girls at home were supposed to send in clips of them burping. When it aired, they 100% aired a clip of the ending of a porn, if you know what I mean, it’s maybe 1 second long but it’s there. |

You took OP's hyperbole over a situation kinda deserving of a little "oh no this is the worst" as a reason to make up a guy to get mad at and use it to scream about a forum full of pearl clutchers who are more outraged at this than rape. That opinion doesn't exist and using this thread of all threads as some f***ed up soapbox to get mad at 'the pearl clutchers' is in really, really poor taste. |
