Yes. I checked the link.
You guys as so pathetic, this display is so sick, even you both think it is fake.
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.
Sorry if that was too offenisve for you.

Pathetic, LOL. "Attack" -- me thinks you are being a little sensitive, ehh?

What is anti-mulsim or anti-palestinian about thinking the photo is real? What negative am I believing about them? The funny thing to me is I am not sure if this 'photo' is anti-muslim or anti-jewish or anything. To me, I cannot see any reason for a fake, that is why I do not understand the fake angle. Now, it being true makes sense. It is not as if Hezbollah is shy about taking credit and holding these 3 guys. Why is the idea that they put up a billboard celebrating it one the 1 year aniversay so so odd?
