Did either of you two geniuses think to check the source link from YAHOO.

You guys as so pathetic, this display is so sick, even you both think it is fake.

Yup, sure did check the source. All I had to do was right click on the photo and go right to the host.

It's a fake. Get over it.

that picture looks VERY fake, from a guy who specializes in fake photos as a joke.

Yes. I checked the link.

I'm not sure calling us 'pathetic' fits within the rules around here. That said, the photo appears to either be 'fake' or has been undermined by some over enthusiastic (sloppy) work by a digital retoucher. The saturation of the singage, the abnormal perspective, the sudden loss of detail in the lower left of the billboard, and so on--all of these things give me pause.

I have no problem being suspicious of wire images which appear amateurish, appear to lack accompanying corraborating images--I did a cursory look, if anyone finds some please add to the thread and put our questions to rest--and so on. I have no problem being suspicious of single digital images.

We've had the stories in the past about Media doctoring images so they better reflect the "reality" being reported--which would be my most generous reading of this photo. We've had debates over how far is too far in 'altering' reality.

I think it's pretty pathetic to attack freepers--FREEPERS, for crying out loud--who *dare* question the veracity of a digital image, a press account, etc.

One wonders about the overenthusiastic, automatic insistance one must believe all bad things claimed about Arabs, Muslims and Palestinians.
