Can DU provide us with .html code with which we can indicate that an illustration we're posting is fake?

6. Here's an example.

DU gets a lot of posts noting that, by not spending so much money on bombs, other countries are able to have (fill in the blank). I can't argue with that, but often the post includes an altered illustration showing how much better life is elsewhere. Case in point:

That appears to be an N700S Shinkansen. They run on overhead wiring. Overhead wiring gets in the way, so graphics artists trying to clean up the illustration remove all the infrastructure.

The illustration is an artist's concept of what the railway would look like, once you removed a bunch of the stuff that makes it work. The illustration should should be marked to indicate that is not real. Here's the source:

Here's a real pho graph of an N700S Shinkansen, complete with the date art (the overhead wiring).

I'm not trying to pick on the OP of https://www.democraticunderground.com/100221144196, as he can hardly be expected to know about railroad infrastructure. But the artist's concept stuff ruins the argument for me.

Full disclosure: when I watch film noir on TV, I like to distinguish the 1949 Ford sedans from the 1950 Ford sedans. (1951 Fords are a snap. No one should have any problems recognizing those.) Yeah, one of those.
