Thank God. I was freaking out!lilian said:I did a quick Google search and apparently it's just a BBC Ad campaign designed to remind people of the importance of international news.
Whilst the first and second creative approaches communicate BBC Worlds core strength of impartiality, the third focuses on the truly global content the channel will bring to U.S. viewers. "News Beyond Your Borders" is about reminding Americans that there is news outside America and that BBC World gives its viewers that global perspective. It will appear from 5th June, via posters and interior cards on commuter rail network. Each ad is a puzzle, which at first glance appears to be a vaguely familiar map, but on further examination reveals a new and arresting image - a soldier with a gun; a health worker holding an infected bird; a hostage being detained; and a city under water.
The execution will also appear as an insert in the Financial Times and Newsday in June.
So, no threat.

?!?!? It was ****e!
Weird how the UK isnt there considering its supposed to be a British company
Not really, the map clearly states countries where BBC World transmits, & BBC world doesnt transmit in the UK so why would it list it?
On the right, below that figure, you can make out a peace sign
Really? Cos I see the Playboy bunny.
You will see another masked figure. The figure appears to also be wearing boots, perhaps indicating a suit of sorts. In his hands, are two dead birds. They look like turkeys. Now turkeys can always be associated with America the pilgrims and Native Americans feast. Why is he masked though, possibly because those birds are infected with something deadly?
What like the world wide problem of Bird Flu?? Because that certainly is real. Not too sure of it being a terrorist plot though, seeing as the creator of the virus would have no way to select which people got it which didnt, considering its spread.
On the far right, you will see a lake in the shape of an aircraft
Looks like a booted leg to me.
My point it is that its all perspective & totally into the individual as to what they see & how they interpret that. What you see as a peace sign could easily be seen as a swearing signal by many.
And as you can see by the other persons finding, is just an advertising from the BBC making a very good point, that there is news outside of America that most Americans are unaware of. Or are you suggesting that the BBC is a terroist organisation? (well, I suppose they do inflict Eastenders on us....)
I'm all for questioning the government, police, laws heck everythign! you should NEVER just believe what someone says (particularly a 'ruling' party) you should however do some research before going public with 'out-there' theories & conspiracies or you'll just be laughed out of town!

Great job solving the mystery! I had a feeling it was something like this. I honestly didn't think it was a threat or anything sinister at all. The simplest explanation is usually the correct one.
OMG, the funniest thing about all this is, if you really thought this was some kind of terrorist threat you alone uncovered, WHY on earth are you reporting it to the purse board, and not the FBI?? If you see something, say something, and all that...
Also, are you not aware of what the BBC is?? They're not a map company, they're a television outfit.
