http://www1.cs.columbia.edu/~aaron/images/screenshots/whatever-med.jpg OK This story only came to light this side of the pond in HIGNFY - a topical (comedy) news quiz. What's amazing is not that it happened, but that the lower echelons of the candidate's press dept didn't seem to have learned anything from the bad press a similar exposure [BBC & Evening Standard] brought something over a year ago http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2003/04/63011.html I'm certain no-one high up sanctioned this, that's really not the point. What is telling, to me, is that such fakery has become so unremarkable, so commonplace, that the perpetrators probably can't see they were doing anything wrong. Fake really has replaced fact - the new reality. C'mon guys, if you have to feed us fake images at least put some work into them - make them hard to spot ;o) B
