This Is My Brother Mohammed, And This Is My Other Brother Mohammed

Remember back in 2008, when Iran Photoshopped an extra missile into a photograph of its missile test? Turns out, bad habits die hard. The Atlantic Wire has caught Iran's semi-official Mehrs News Agency (MNA) using another digitally-altered image to depict its missile program. Only this time, the image is even more egregiously Photoshopped.

On the homepage of its website today, the image appears next to a story downplaying the threat of Iran's ballistic missile program. It's a small image but upon closer inspection, you can see that something is amiss.

To be honest missiles are heading in all directions in that "photo" it's not just that one.

Wonder how much Iran or Imadinnerjacket can be sued for copyright infringement??? Enough to outrank the so-called sanctions, I hope.

The real news in that story is that I missed May 4th as a new holiday created by George Lucas and Obama: May 4th is now officially STAR WARS DAY!!!!

I could have had a(nother) day off work, with pay!!!

You can tell it's a fake because the sun is hitting Jar-Jar at a different angle than it's hitting the exhaust fumes.

Nothing gets past me man.

We from Gulag recognize incidents like this as a scream for help that nobody in the 'free world' wants to hear.

Uh, that image is an internet meme. It wasn't created in Iran it was likely created by a Fark or Reddit user and it's been passed around a bit since then. This is not an Iranian photoshop.

Oh, like MNA actually made the thing. Please.

The fact that Jar Jar is in their camp is by itself enough reason to turn that country into a parking lot.

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
