News Channel mistakes Axl Rose and Mickey Rourke as married couple celebrating 50th anniversary

This happened. Canadian news broadcast mistook a now iconic photo of Axl Rose and actor Mickey Rourke as a married couple celebrating their 50th anniversary.

The pic first surfaced online earlier this month from Newsmax host John Cardillo.

No, these are not two retired school teachers waiting for their grandkids dance recital to begin while their husbands find parking.

A segment on a local news broadcast celebrates birthdays and wedding anniversaries of individuals from the community. Apparently a prankster submitted the photo with the names Max and Geraldine Bailey, and it flew right under the station’s radar. You can watch as the photo appears on the broadcast via a Twitter video below.
