Actually, there are a number of these photos that have been changed - most by blatantly whiting out the sign and replacing the words with a "perfect" computer-generated font.

But the "HALP US JON CARRY" original is authentic.

I always worry that the talented photoshoppers we have may someday do damage to our credibility when they create something so real, so convincing that we mistake it for authentic.

perhaps they should "sign" their work?

Oh well... Have a great day!

That actually happened a few years ago with an FR photoshop of Kerry and Fonda together on a stage. The mistake was in not tagging the photo with the signature of the artist.

The MSM used that photo to try to discredit all stories about Kerry's anti-war behavior.
