Lucy Pawle was heading home from work and passed through the London Gay Pride parade, an annual event that was likely even livelier given yesterday’s news that their neighbor across the Atlantic finally legalized marriage between any two people, regardless of gender.

Those certainly aren’t Arabic letters which, to Pawles’ and the CNN anchor’s credit, they acknowledged. They just assumed it was a crude attempt at mimicking an ISIS flag.

Thus concludes CNN’s Greatest Week of All Time. It began with Don Lemon asking us if the N-word is offensive. It ended with a meagre analysis of sex toys.
Thank you for existing, CNN. Thank you, indeed.
