Chinese New Year BBC blunder: 'Welcome to the year of the whores' [View all]
Friday saw the start of the Chinese new year, with this being the year of the horse.
Unfortunately the BBC News’ subtitle system didn’t understand the memo quite right, and instead declared this the ‘year of the whores,’ too much the embarrassment of the channel.
“Welcome to the year of the whores. People around the globe celebrate,” read the subtitles.
Noticing the blunder, a number of eagle eyed viewers were able to quickly grab a screenshot and post it on Twitter.
