But it should be done more professionally, of course. Double

And by using time travel, too. You just know he's getting a polonium sandwich during his next trip to the deli.

Seriously, though, what a bunch of boobs.

Don't blame me, I never saw either the movie or the footage from the news agency.

I am glad that the Russian propagandistic machine didn't turn out to be that stupid.

But I am disappointed to learn that the Mir submersibles were not made in Russia. Then we just at Russia for not being able to make cool minisubs

I must have missed teh scene in Titanic where teh robotic arm planted a Russian flag on teh seabed

Not in a million years, I wont - in fact I think I'll laugh once or twice more, just for good measure.

Does it really matter? It's television. They need visual to go with the audio. It's not like it really makes a bit of difference if viewers are seeing a clip from the making of titanic or a real russian sub. It's just there to say "hey, there's this thing on the bottom of the ocean"

News stations do this all the time, showing a picture of an airplane, for instance, when talking about an airplane related story. or a stack of money when talking about the stock market. The picture isn't of the specific airplane or money in question, it's just there to make a visual connection. They used to have a caption underneath saying "Library pictures" or "Archive footage" or some such. It lead to the amusing jokes in comedy sketches of someone filming a library or archive and then adding the captions. They were so funny back in the Eighties.

Whatever happened to such captioning? Some new agencies have (re-)introduced the policy of saying "artist's impression" on science and technology stories with images that aren't direct images.
