Photoshop Pic at NY Times: Where's Waldo?
UPDATE: Check out my first Townhall column here, and Michelle's column here (I get a plug). Oh, and one last thing: Best Jawa Pshop contest ever!
UPDATE: Tyler Hicks is the same guy who took these!
Another Photoshopped photo? This time in a NY Times slideshow. Again, credit goes to Charles Johnson.
Original
Update: Charles has a bigger view of the pic up now, so I pulled mine to save bandwidth. Check it out. He can afford the bandwidth suck, I can't.
Update: At the risk of getting on Michelle's bad side, I disagree with Allah. It may not be a Pshop, but the guy pointed out by Allah is not the same guy that we are looking at. Unless he's like Chevy Chase in Fletch. Think about it. Update: Allah retracts on that point.
Update: Not 100% slam dunk, but it's evidence.....evidence that I'm right and that he-who-taunts-me-for-being-right-all-the-time is wrong.
From Egfrow who has a more detailed analysis here:
Could the face be a friend of the photographer, Tyler Hicks? Kind of an inside joke?
Or maybe a friend of one of the editors. A staff member's "Where's Waldo"?
I have a feeling some staffer at the NY Times owes an intern a beer for actually going through with it.
UPDATE: Not so funny staged photos. Allah may have solved the mystery of hte Hizbo soldier bravely pointing his AK-47 at a tire fire.
UPDATE II: Funniest staged photo of the day!
UPDATE III: We've found the actual undoctored photo below!
