Internet research, UR doin’ it wrong

| May 13, 2011

This story probably should have gone to TSO, but Tman sent it to me.

Apparently, a German TV show tried to explain to their views about the US Navy’s SEALs with this photo in the back ground;

Now see, this where TSO would have some expertise in explaining the logo…but me, I have to cut and paste an explanation;

Locher’s team must have searched for “Navy SEAL Six” on the Internet and stumbled upon the symbol made by a Star Trek fan group called “Maquis Forces International.” The Maquis, a rebel group, fought against Cardassia–the bad guys–in Federation colonies in some Star Trek storylines. The skull in the badge represents a Klingon, and it also includes three Klingon bat’leth swords. The group makes lots of imagined Navy SEAL logos for the “24th century,” TrekMovie says.

They were caught on the error by a German blogger.

See, the internet looks easy, but it ain’t.

In their defense, the Klingons are a hardcore race of warriors with strict codes regarding honor and conduct in battle. Naturally, you can understand their confusion.
