I don't know anyone here that takes the Sun seriously. At best I've seen it as waiting room reading material. I really hope the original writer did this on purpose wondering if the editors/upper management would notice.
Calling it waiting room material is an insult to waiting room material.

Too bad David Sarif and his company don't exist, he's one of the few cyberpunk bosses who are actually decent human beings instead of the 'I WILL RULE THE WORLD!' arseholes who always try to double-cross you.
That would be Bob Page, I would say.

It's literally as if someone just ripped it from google images, looked at the name, and slapped it into the article. I didn't know that The Sun were using lazy sixth form students to write their articles already. I know The Sun isn't a pillar of journalism, but fact-checking doesn't get more basic than this.

It's unfortunate that we live in a world not inhabited by Sarif Industries. You could say we're...sans Sarif.

My thoughts exactly.

I would hope that this is either a very misguided parody, otherwise I fear for the "journalistic integrity" that is in the Sun, or rather the lack thereof.

Cybernetic eyeball implants? Pssh, boring. When's The Sun gonna report on Aperture Fixtures's revolutionary work on interdimensional shower curtains and gel-based dietary aids?

The only thing worse than The Sun, are the people who still read The Sun, as in, those who consider it a legitimate news source, not a point of hilarity.

Seriously, I feel dumber just by touching one.
It's well known that The Sun drains the intelligence of those who touches it... the question is, what happens to it? It's obviously not going to them.

OT: For years and years we have been telling people that The Sun is a stupid void where journalists seems to be sucked out of anything resembling intelligence. Then this shows up and proves incompetence like never before.

As a general tip: The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country, the Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country, the Times is read by people who actually do run the country, the Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country, the Financial Times is read by people who own the country, the Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country and the Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is.

Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big tits.

This is priceless. It's even better than the time the BBC used the UNSC emblem from Halo when talking about the UN Security Council.

ahhh. i love the sun. it's like they live in their own little world and can't see us laughing like maniacs at them behind their backs. i don't any other news paper could have made that mistake, hell. I think papers like the onion wouldn't even have made that blunder on purpose.

Did you miss the part where he has the doctors cut off Adam's non-damaged limbs as well as the damaged ones (through a legal loophole) in order to have more of Adam's tissue to study? Probably unnecessarily replaced a few organs and such too.
Seriously, would I even be angry if I got the chance to have all those awesome implants? no fucking way.

Nah, that's the Daily Mail. The Sun is more like if Playboy tried to pretend it was a newspaper.
Really? Huh, I thought the Daily Mail was supposed to be the more Liberal one (AKA Labor).

Sorry, I'm Canadian and I know next to nothing about British Journalism, only that The Sun is unbelievably stupid.
No, the Mail is very much the right-wing one. You might be thinking of the Daily Mirror, the only mainstream left-of-centre tabloid in this country.

And yes - the Mail is definitely the Fox News equivalent. The Sun is under no illusions about its own lowbrowness, but the Mail likes to think it's a serious newspaper addressing the genuine concerns of the nation, rather than a spitting ball of bilious hatred.

Ohw news media, you so crazy with your barely researched 'stories'. At least it's a more entertaining read than the endless "Ylvis 'The Fox'" news stories we get in Norway these days... I swear not a single person cared about that song until it suddenly became popular in the US and becuase Americans like it it MUST be cool. My prefered news outlets can't seem to shut up about it X3.

...Wow. That's just...I have no words.

Sucks that Sarif Industries doesn't exist though. Lord knows Detroit could use the industry.
Not only would Detroit get a much needed boost, but I'd finally be able to get some sunglasses I would never be able to forget on the bus!

Well, this is ? awesome. I don't understand why tabloids exist, but if they keep making great references like this then I won't mind their existence.

I remember seeing that on Cracked, along with this one news show reporting on the war in Syria with a picture of Damascus. From Assassin's Creed.

Yes Minister?

I really need to find that series again.
