Someone just sent me this. It can’t be real, can it?
Update: Various testimonies have verified this did actually appear on the RTE website. Massive FAIL.

Unless I’m missing something in the report you have linked here, yes that is real…
I just got out of bed(here in Ga)with a hangover.Checked my daily messages and blogs. I am now listening for the sound of Russian tanks and shitting myself. Thanks Twenty.
google news has done the same. See .
Look at the image, Emer
Ok, I didn’t notice either. I’d never make a journalist.
Or, maybe I would…
The Russians are Coming!http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3466239488/tt0060921
Careful now, George W has invaded countries for less. RTE could easily be responsible for starting World War III if he stumbles across this story and makes it to the big red button before the secret service agents rugby tackle him.
100% real. rte.ie made a big-time SNAFU.
This took second place on the News on RTE last night. -Don’t think the work-experience lad had found the map by this stage, because I don’t remember seeing one.
In case anyone hadn’t noticed,we had a bit of rain yesterday, and RTE in their wisdom chose this as their lead story. First time they got the weather right in ages too.
Oh for God’s sake.
Didn’t even spot that. Feckin RTE.
OMG. That’s bad. Though it took me a while to work it out too…
What a shower of idiots.
Ha. Thats relying on search engines too much for ye.
Ha. Google Images. Georgia. Grand, that’ll do.
Man United are playing Newcastle next week, so expect George Hamilton out near Clondalkin looking for the game to commentate on.
Very real.
Useless bastards.
For some reason it amuses me that my typo brought me here: http://www.wordpess.com
WTF were you searching to land there!?!?
Yep. As far as I know it’s a software package that has a skin on it with the rte graphics and colours. You just type in the name of the country or city and it pops up highlighted. Of course the editor is supposed to check it’s the right bloody place.
It’s kind of you’d expect from Sly Views not RTE.
“THE STATE’S first school of magic is to open in Limerick this weekend, spearheaded by a Moyross magician who is hoping to turn children away from crime towards the art of magic.”
Well, that’s Limerick sorted. Problem over.
What’s next? Crochet in Ballymena?
god I hope they have sent journos…….hehehehe
Ha.I can just see Charlie Bird ducking around Atlanta in a flak jacket.
Maybe RTE has it right and everyone else has it wrong.
Maybe Russia did invade the US?
Pazzam! You’re stabbed in the ass!
Eh, Mach, I thought I’d typed in WordPress. Just one letter different. I’m just amused there’s also a Wordpess.
Shocking stuff…..Anyone see the Sunday Times report on it….There’s a little box with the two presidents (Russia and Georgia)…..Problem is, the picture with caption Medvedev is not him at all…..It’s just a picture of some old geezer…..
Oh God – that’s brutal!

Brutal or just making a salient political statement…. ;-)
Are people living in Georgian Dublin at risk?
I understand from news reports that Gorey (liked in title) has already been bombed, causing two million Euro worth of improvements.

Hi Twenty
Cracked up over the Georgia map; however have a look at this – sorry its a bit late, only heard about it yesterday evening!

Hi Twenty, yep…that’s typical RTE, our very own amateur TV Station. Considering they get the licence money, advertising money and Sky money it’s amazing they still can’t employ people that would seem to know anything outside D4 and shopping malls in management and Unionheads for labour. We have a log up here for the daily cock-up on RTE which is growing all the time. It has to be said…that amongst European broadcasters RTE have the reputation of being an over-funded greedy amateur joke. I won’t get into their protectionist policies which mean that Irish film and content makers will get their programs shown anywhere in the world apart from Ireland.
OK…rant over. You hit me with RTE cockups before breakfast..lol.
Keep it up ‘em..
