If a Reuters photographer can get away with it, then I might as well give it a go too
(via LGF)

Reuters has sacked a 'freelance' Lebanese photographer for manipulating photographs that were submitted as factual records of events. Say it ain't so, Joe?
The number of times that you can look at some photos portraying 'murder' or 'genocide' in the Middle East and think something isn't right are too many to name (the Jenin 'massacre' anyone?).
This twit, one Adnan Hajj, has the photoshopping skills of a ten year old.
I take that back, a five year old. What was his motive? Reuters (his employer) has stated that he was removing 'dust smudges' when adding to the above photo (Godzilla was put in by someone else). Crap.
This guy was doing PR for a pack of terrorist wankers, and got caught.
On the other hand, the photoshopping above is totally believeable, and I for one, welcome my mutant lizardiod masters, and hope that they will remember that someone will need to pick the human remains from their teeth, (tooth decay being something rarely covered in monster films).


Disclaimer: In case this photo isn't real, I was just going to infiltrate their organisation and work from the inside, honest.
