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.

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.
