Japanese-language version of a state media site used images
from Battlestar Galactica
When a Chinese news portal ran a piece about aircraft
carriers of the future, its editors wanted to illustrate it with a selection of
hi-tech images.
But they may have stepped slightly too far into the future,
as the accompanying pictures that appeared on the site showed designs for
spaceships featured in the US smash sci-fi show Battlestar Galactica.
The article, entitled '4 Major Trends In Aircraft Carrier
Development', was published on the Japanese language version of the China
Internet Information Centre, a web portal authorised by the Chinese government
which features official news translated into a variety of languages, including
Japanese, Korean and English.
