Got this from my father via e-mail

[Hawkeye-X]

Dunno if it made DU rounds yet..

"Here's one I hope you like. Feel free to forward. This was sent by a friend who noted that a group of Syrians decided to hold an anti-American rally. Since they couldn't read and write English for their protest signs, they found an English-speaker to "translate" their anti-American slogans for them. They apparently made the mistake of asking the wrong guy to help them and he took matters into his own hands."

[Aristus]

1. Yep.

Your father is one sterling dude, Hawkeye. :eyes:

[nostamj]

2. debunked as a photoshop hoax

months ago.

[Dirty Hippie]

3. Looks Photoshopped to me

.

[trotsky]

4. Clearly photoshopped.

Plus the idea that Muslims can't have legitimate grievances is upsetting. But Freepers eat this stuff up.

[RandomKoolzip]

5. Is your father acquainted with "Photoshop?"

n/t

[Maeve]

6. Why do folks make up crap about obviously photoshopped pics?

Seriously. It also assumes that these are a bunch of ignorant yahoos who haven't a clue about the most widely spoken language on earth but did get their signs done professionally.

Yeah, right.

[XNASA]

7. It looks Photoshopped to me.

Note how crisp the edges of the printing are when compared to the canvas.

Also note how uniform the perspective of the lettering in the middle sign is when compared to the canvas.

Sorry, this looks like a hoax.

The "joke" also assumes that because somebody is a retired Sergeant, they would be in favor of dropping bombs on innocents. I think that this is not the case.

[Kamika]

10. yes and the retired us army sergeant just happened to retire in Syria?

Give me a f*cking break

[Kamika]

8. I congratulate your father

He must have found the most idiotic freeper mail ever. Now to believe this mail it takes an unusually stupid freeper but HEY I guess there's one born every minute.


I dunno though just what kind of idiot would believe this? It can be logicly debunked in so many ways.

1st. I doubt that among like 1000? protesters not one knows english.

2nd. it's clearly visible how some of those signs are photoshopped in to the picture and on the front sign the text is clearly photoshopped.

Oh and in typical freeper tradition they took a protest with clearly pakistani muslims and calls them arabs

Oh well, give my regards to your dad

[Bozita]

9. send the famous "moran" photo as a response

[Kamika]

11. yes!

Good one :D

[ProudGerman]

12. Your dad a bit vicious?

You could ask him why he so desperately wants to see people killed. Maybe you can ask him to think that one over the next time he prays and/or goes to church.

Jesus was into indescriminate killing, right?

[ET Awful]

13. Only a Freeper would send out a picture like this. . .

What with the obvious photo-shopping and all.

BUT, the best indication that it's a Freeper generated dungheap is the fact that they refer to an "anit-war" rally.

[felonious thunk]

14. It's funny because we all want to kill each other!

[DS1]

15. Instead of pointing out the obvious

and patting yourselves on the back, why don't you counter-photoshop it?

[trotsky]

16. Maybe because a copy of Photoshop is around $500?

n/t

[DS1]

17. Try Gimp, paint shop pro, Photoshop is more a verb than an app these days

The other two are free, even if one is a 30 day trial.

[Kamika]

18. gimp

I cant install it.. your average person cant install it

[DS1]

19. Maybe you're special
