Several LGF readers emailed about this photo published by an Iranian newspaper and posted on several Twitter feeds, which was apparently Photoshopped to make the crowd look larger. It does look like a pretty clear example of photo manipulation, but so far I haven’t been able to discover which newspaper it comes from, or who took the photo; there’s a lot of disinformation being pushed out via Twitter, so take this with a grain of sodium chloride.

 Frank says:

I'd like to know who's Plunkin' the monkeys? -- It was on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. I can't remember the year maybe 10 years ago? They were talking about AIDS and how AIDS all got started, he had 3 theory's. First Frank said something about AIDS being a government test gone wrong Then maybe it was an Alien (ET) test or mistake and finally they talked about the theory of AIDS coming from a monkey and then Frank said " I'd like to know who's plunkin' the monkey's?"
