Cry Havoc and let slip the Gnomes of War!

August 13, 2006

Alrighty for those of you that are unawre the Reuters fauxtography situation has given rise to a competition at Ofre’s Politics designed to test what will get though their rigorous vetting procedure and pretty much to take the piss out them.

All you have to do is photoshop this gnome into any image of Lebanon and get Reuters to publish it to win.

Here’s some of the attempts which so far haven’t quite squeaked through…

First up from 123beta,  he swaers it’s genuine but frankly that guy running looks pretty sus to me.

Next from Swamp Blog we have what is clearly a group of Terrorgnomes out planting IED’s as part of terrorist operations in Southern Lebananon. Again those Reuters guys were just too good and spotted the faked flags. Damn.

From Drunken Wisdom we have this;

But those eagle eyed editors pinged them for photoshopping in the palm tree into the background to make it look like its taken in ME when in fact this shot was taken just of Picadilly Circus in London.

Finally this effort from the Ogre himself almost made it but Reuters discovered that in the origional there was smoke every where and thats been completely matted out in this version.

Lebbywoods most disgusting home videos.

Green Helemt Man busted.

Imagine an “aid worker” who supervisors staged photo ops’

Imagine a childs body being loaded and unloaded into an ambulance.

Imagine an “aid worker” giving directions to the camera to keep fliming while he reorganizies the scene.

Imagine a childs body being used as a flim prop and moved from one stretcher to another for best effect.

Imagine the “aid worker” uncovering the child and arranging the childs head to get the best face shot for the camera.

Now imagine it’s your child.

Respect for the dead is a fundemental human characteristic. These people are not in the ball park with their own dead.

Even then are they actually dead or are they Lebbywood dead. Dangerously Subversive Dad has the pictures of one man working on rubble then providing himself as the “body” for a photo op.

The western media are full participants in this utter propaganda deception being perpetrated. Nothing coming out of Lebanon has any value any more except the recon film from IDF drones.

If ANY media operation wants us have the slightist shred of credibilty anymore then they had better start telling us the whole story, not just quite literally the edited higlights.
