Another fauxtography 'WTF' moment

From the NY Times, (not a surprise)...

http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/200...IDESHOW_4.html

Attempting to hotlink the image from LGF....if it does'nt work, click on the NY Times link for the larger image.



Direct your attention to the black dude, lower right corner.....


You'd think that company the size of the Times could afford to spring for some photoshop classes for their photographers.

still, it's pathetic.

It's either a picture of a black guy pasted over the face of a woman, or the woman is wearing a random black dude mask.

Look closely, you can see her head.

I can see the caftan. You think maybe it's the prominence of the black muslims that made them do this?Garner a little sympathy form the American blacks?

Someone needs to put the WTC dude in there too. Let's just keep adding more and more. I bet they'd still publish it.

I can't believe that was actually in the New York times. You've gotta be kidding.

Maybe they're testing the public to see how good people are at catching fauxtography?
