According to The Daily Mail, the above image is Al Qaedaās āterrifying vision of a devastated America.ā It was apparently posted on an Islamic extremistsā Web site but nobody in the mainstream press has actually twigged that itās videogame concept art from Fallout 3.
Believing them to be ācomputer-generated images,ā this supposed terroristsā wet dream has also hit an Australian news site. The Daily Mail, otherwise known as Britainās favorite toilet paper, takes the prize though for this hilarious piece of writing:
U.S. analysts said a lot of effort had been put into the video ā entitled Nuclear Jihad, The Ultimate Terror ā with graphics, music, and clips of different leaders and groups.
The same expertise seems to have gone into creating this image of a devastated Washington.
Confirmed ā Bethesda uses terrorist expertise in the creation of its artwork? Since The Mail has a long-running vendetta against videogames, Iām somewhat surprised they didnāt find out where the image came from ā Videogames Cause Terrorism seems like a story thatās right up their alley. Gotta love journalists.
