[history]
After the Sept. 11 attacks, the tourist guy became the subject of dozens of doctored photographs. Inspired by the original picture that put him at the WTC attacks, Web surfers quickly turned him into the Forrest Gump of the Internet, placing him at the scene of major, minor and just plain inane events in history.

I went to the Tourist Guy site. It looks like a lot of the pix posted there were ripped off from FR.

Many thanks for the technocolor version. It's great! I miss you. Where you at the UN today?
To: 2Trievers
I miss you. Where you at the UN today? Aw shucks :-). Miss you too. No, sorry to say I wasn't there. Due to unemployment, can't even afford the trip into the city. :-( The last time I was there for a FReep was Oct. 6.

Chin up, something good will happen soon. Only good things for FReepers of your caliber! Hugs, 2T

"The Photoshopping began instantly," said the webmaster at Something Awful, who identified himself only as Rich, in an e-mail. "It continued the 'All Your Base' tradition that the Something Awful forums began as well." ROTFL!
If the author had bothered to visit Something Awful, he'd know who in the heck Rich is :D
