Also, the imagus extension (chrome / firefox) will let you hover over images, gifs and links and they'll start playing or maximise without having to click.

Found out it works for streamable links too.

Sad story and all, but my god, the levels of coincidence there are almost unbelievable. :eek:

I sure hope someone got fired for that blunder.

The only thing stopping that becoming a twitter hit is the language.

Why on earth would anyone commission a promo featuring a giant kicking a caravan into the Atlantic?

Yes, they should have ran another ident but id imagine there is a certain level of automation in TV production and i cant imagine this ident was used for the first time yesterday either??

Really??

Im sure it wasnt done deliberately. It seems a genuine oversight to make and it would be hard to produce new idents at a seconds notice because of such a horrific unprecedented event.

I mean the woman is from Switzerland so the chances of her family watching TG4 news are fairly slim too so anyone beyond her immediate family and friends that have been triggered by this well perhaps they need to get a life really.

I didn't say it was deliberate. If you watch it on their player, every time you refresh, you get a different one

It's just a funny, if morbid, coincidence.

Pardon my ignorance - but what the hell is an ident?

It's the little adverts for the channel itself you see at the start and end of ad breaks. Some time a split second one between ads too.

Like the big number 4 doing stuff in Ch4 ad breaks or the BBC '2'.

It's a little bit eh, unfortunate shall we say!

I know there's been a tragedy, but **** me if that isn't one of the most brilliant things I've ever seen.

Social media will make sure that they see it. Since the Journal pull loads of stories from here it'll be in the "news" soon.

Depressing isn't a word I'd use for not knowing quotes from cartoons.

I hope not. I saw it already on twitter though.
The specificity of it is unbelievable.
