Radio Times issues apology for inappropriate picture
January 25th, 2012 - 9:17 pm ICT by Aishwarya BhattLondon, Jan 25 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Radio Times has apologized for publishing a picture showing the manhood of a soldier. The magazine failed to detect that one of the soldiers had exposed his private parts and published the image in last week’s edition of the magazine.
The picture was meant to promote a new show set to air on Channel 5 titled Royal Marines: Mission Afghanistan. The image had 42 soldiers all shirtless but one of the soldiers decided to go a bit further than that. A casual look can fool one to believe that the private part is a sticking finger but a closer look reveals that the hands are on the sides of the soldier.
Radio Times in a statement published in this week’s edition of the magazine apologized to the public for the picture. The magazine stated that, “’Radio Times would like to apologize for a picture that has inadvertently been published in the new issue of the magazine. It has come to our attention that an apparently innocent photo of the Royal Marines’ 42 Commando unit – printed by Radio Times in good faith and issued by Channel 5’s publicity department to promote the documentary Royal Marines: Mission Afghanistan – contains the sight of one of the marines playing a prank.”
The ‘exposed’ marine has not been identified. The Daily Mail has set out to find the soldier for an interview.
