ITV use fake game footage, claiming it to be "authentic"

So, you ready to hear the pinnacle of, well, plain foolishness?
The ITV over in the UK recently aired a documentary about the IRA and Muammar Gaddafi. In the documentary, they used footage from, wait for it, ArmA II. Yes, ArmA II. The video game. They claimed it to be authentic footage of the IRA shooting down a chopper. They blame the footage being used on human error. That's a pretty damned big error. Maybe they were hoping no one who watches ITV is a gamer?
Youtube vid right there.
Also, the company (Bohemia) that owns this wasn't approached about using the video either.

Full of win? I think not.
