Hollywood is known around the world for impeccably portraying events that are unlikely to take place in real life. Take the movie Olympus Has Fallen for example. Released last year, the movie revolves around a rather heroic Secret Service agent who foils guerrilla assault attempt on the White House. The film’s trailer was aired by national cable channels despite the fact that it used Emergency Alert System tones, which are only meant to be used when there really is an actual local or national emergency. The tones aren’t allowed to be used for anything else, particularly a paid advertisement, which is why the channel have been hit with an almost $2 million proposed fine.
