Here is the only picture of this year's FReep that seems to have made the AP wire:

Sun Feb 29,10:24 PM ET

Fans gathered down the block from the Kodak Theatre try to get the attention of stars exiting their vehicles to attend the Oscars (news - web sites) Sunday, Feb. 29, 2004, in the Hollywood section of Los Angeles. This is the 76th annual Academy Awards (news - web sites).

Their editor must have worked overtime to crop our signs OUT of this picture. :o)

On the lower right side, between the two security officers, you can see part of the American flag which was on the left edge of our HUGE (ten foot by three foot) "GOD BLESS AMERICA" banner.

And, at the top left in this picture, you can see the German photographer (dressed in black, with a giant telephoto lens) who was beside ALOHA RONNIE and FIT-AIM-ACT-1, who were holding a LARGE (four foot by three foot) sign that said:

Even HOBBITS...
SUPPORT
OUR
TROOPS!

"Their editor must have worked overtime to crop our signs OUT of this picture."

Are you saying that they printed a picture that does not reflect reality? That is, they altered it to remove your posters and then printed it as fact? Or did they just take it at an angle so as to not get your signs?

ROTFL! As a hobbit..... let me just say, thanks for the plug!

The Hobbit Hole :: Troop support projects

[FIT-AIM-ACT-1]

All in all...an event we can be proud of. We stood with our President and troops at last year's Oscars when the hard left thought they could harm our country. This year we showed up again and they didn't...because our President and troops proved to them and to the world that America was right in taking down Saddam. God bless America, our President and our wonderful troops.

Freeper seen on Japanese TV?

I just saw on Japanese TV a possible freeper with the sign "EVEN HOBBITS SUPPORT OUR TROOPS!" I almost broke my kotatsu!
