The station apologized, saying that the graphic was meant for another, "satirical piece," but was accidentally used during a serious news report.
P.F. Chang's got wind of this, and Tweeted, quote, "Contrary to this broadcast, we're not hosting the games."
And they later capitalized on it by launching a social media contest called the "P.F. Chang's Games 2018."
