-RetweetDoctored Beirut Photo: the First Draft

Sun, Aug 6, 2006 at 4:04:38 pm PDT

LGF reader humblegunner emailed what seems to be Reuters photographer Adnan Hajj’s first attempt to remove the dust from his Beirut photograph.

UPDATE at 8/6/06 10:10:59 pm:

Reader David Lunde has discovered what may be another attempt by Hajj to embed a subliminal message in his Photoshopped smoke:

And reader THX-42 has found a corrected version of the photo from the Lizardoid Multiverse:

Charles:

(for the sake of our guests from Reuters)Little do they realize the terrible truth about LFG. You see, “Charles” is really a cigar-smoking reptilian android from the planetoid Aidemydni, who lives in a top secret nitrogen-filled bomb shelter (why doesn’t the nitrogen explode when I smoke? ah ah! that would be telling!) concealed beneath Denver International Airport. Bwa hahaha! Soon the Earth will be mine, and my lizardoid armies will herd the peace activists into brutal repression camps, the better to slaughter them and feast on their gamy buttocks! Bwa hahaha!

What's so great about all this is Drudge picked this time to run with the "Methinks some Zionists are up to mischief" death threat.

This doctored photograph stuff is bad enough, but combine it with the death threat, and it makes it appear [correctly] that there is institutional anti-Semitism at Reuters.

We've got lots of L3 in the NY metro area that could help Godzilla recharge those batteries.

Yalla Ya Nas’rallah

You look like a hippopatumus
You might as well stay in your hole
Because soon you will die

You are simply a complete fool
You are a devil or to make a long story short
You are the scum of mankind
Even if you drop here more katuskas
Know that there’s no despair here at all

Together we will overcome the evil trouble
Yalla ya Nasrallah – we will screw you inshallah
We will send you back to allah,
With all the Hezbollah
Yalla ya Nasrallah – go away ya garbage
It’s already been sentenced from above –
That this is your end

You are pathetic, you are small
And resemble an orangutan
You have lice on your beard
And soon you’ll be out of here
You are a dead cockroach, you are skunk
You’re running out of breath

The IDF is asking just after you
To burn you up in fire
With your friends from Syria and Iran
Even if you’ll drop here more katushas
Know there’s no despair around here at all

Yalla ya Nas’rallah
We will screw you inshallah
We will send you back to allah,
With all the Hezbollah
Yalla ya Nas’rallah – go away ya garbage
And be prepared because soon all the IDF
With the apaches, the F-16’s, the battleships,
The missles and the tanks, the commando,
Paratroops, Golani, Giy’ati
And enjoy them because they are your last ones

Yalla ya Nas’rallah
We will screw you inshallah
We will send you back to allah,
With all the Hezbollah
Yalla ya Nas’rallah – go away ya garbage
Yalla ya Nas’rallah – we will screw you inshallah
It’s already been sentenced from above –
That this is your end..

Monsa! Monsa! I LIKE it!

Vani and swara, is a practice found not exclusively in Pakistan whereby girls given away in marriage, often at ridiculously young ages, to act as compensation for the crimes or transgressions of a male relative. It would not be unusual for child under 10 to be wed to an adult male. Just as it is illegal in Pakistan to commit an honor killing there are laws against this disgusting Islamic tradition also. Pakistan passed the anti-vani law in January of this year. However the law is enforced so rarely as to not even exist. The same is true for prosecution of honor killings.

In Saudi Arabia, a woman's testimony in court is worth half that of a man's testimony if her husband divorces any kids are now solely under his caring. The mother has whatever rights the husband gives her.

Charles, you posted this photo without the standard, "Put down your drinks before viewing this" warning.

MAJOR coffee spewing resulted from viewing this photo.

I love this blog. There is nothing like it on the LLL side -- 'course they wouldn't allow it -- they find gay baiting and race baiting humourous (as long as it's properly directed).
I am so glad to have been set free from that world-view.

56 caspera  Sun, Aug 6, 2006 2:26:41pm

You can tell that this photo is a fake. Look at the way the light strikes Godzilla. The sunlight wraps around his shoulder all the way to the back almost. Now look carefully at the buildings behind him. Some of those buildings have the same attitude as Godzilla, but the light is not striking them the same way and their facades are darker. Definitely a fake.

57 newscaper  Sun, Aug 6, 2006 2:26:43pm

OT -- Just got back to Mobile, AL from a trip to New Orleans by car on I-10.

The east side coming in on I-10 is incredibly depressing at gorund level -- literally MILES of abandoned or barely touched homes, apartments and commercial areas, a freakish ghost town worthy of the Omega Man but for the lack of skyscrapers.

Of interest to LGFers... I found the graveyard of most of the flooded city buses.
This is on I-10 east of downtown about midway between the giant bridge over the ship canal that connects the Mississippi and the lake, and the turn off to Chalmette.

[Link: maps.google.com...]

At the lower left you can see two buses in the satellite photo. In person there are HUNDREDS crammed bumper to bumper in the lot contasining the two in the photo and in the lot between the next two lower buildings.

The French Quarter and St. Charles Garden DIstrict areas are doing pretty well, although the unwarranted shortage of tourists is notable, and is a big problem holding back economic recovery. So go to the Big Easy if you can.

Gawd, smartalice you are good and smart.

Did not think anyone would pick up the Monty Python reference I made early in the thread...

Charles could start a whole al-Reuter-athon on just their quack pictures...only LGFers do it better than ole' Hajji the Stringer...

KLo at The Corner calls our attention to this one:
[Link: news.yahoo.com...]

as she notes:

the destruction came from “an overnight” air raid. But the picture, clearly, was taken during daylight hours.

(actually, seems a reader sent this to her. Was it anyone here?)

Aw shucks Greg! Me thinks Charles should parade all of the fake but entertaining photos.

By the way, I have a degree in photojournalism from the best (arguably) PJ school in the country. I am appalled at the lack of ethics rampant but I'm not surprised. The whiff of fame and a Pulitzer are more intoxicating than any drug.

smartalice, I am a printer by trade and remember this stuff going on all the time when we got into the darkroom...Photoshop and GIMP just makes it easier for these clowns with an ideological axe to grind to make even poor forgeries that al-Reuters use and enjoys with abandon since it fits their Jew-hating way of thinking.

Probably will end up with a gallery of take=offs on Beirut and Green Helmet Ghoul in a day or two...

Charles! How rude!

Surely you know the "removing dust" excuse was innocently made to conserve the malignant medieval narcissistic tradition that causes more killing than Appalachian blood feuds over Joanie May being knocked up known as Arab honor.

Well, the TXANG 'documents' could have been

which would make this:

GreenhelmetGate was so close to being the scandal, too - I'm sure he's disappointed his 5 minutes is being stolen by the smoke-dupin', building cloning clowns of Reuters' PhotoChopShop...

Gozgilla? Did I drink my dinner or what? PIMF.

157 Ed Mahmoud abu al Qahool Martyr Brigades  Sun, Aug 6, 2006 3:18:42pm

Hate to spoil the fun, but some pasty white faced skank on CNN (English chick with a name like Fionofula Sweeney) repeated as fact the 60 dead in Qana story.


The MSM doesn't admit its own mistakes very often.

158 Silhouette  Sun, Aug 6, 2006 3:18:46pm

I don't like Reutergate if only that there have been multiple scandals with Reuters credibility, for example the death threat.

Too general.

re #151, in looking at the original photo and the doctored photo, you can see that the faker took the left-hand plume and the middle plume and joined them together, topping them both with a big sphere of smoke.

Allah says Godzilla should destroy Beirut...because if it wasn't meant to be then Allah would not allow it...and it wouldn't be...so therefore it is Allah's will for Godzilla (people be under him) to seek and destroy all terrorists.


Admission to terrorists: Yes, we infidels love Godzilla which is yet one more reason for you to desire to kill us.


Total reasons to date to kill all Westerners: 3,472

Well well well

I see those deadly Fajr 5 mid range missles were launched from the innocent little farming village of ...(drum roll)...QANA

Looks like Israel hit the right terrorists.

Shame they didnt keep it up.

I was an old school photographer. Crop when you take the picture, not in the darkroom, never stage or set up a picture, and try not to be intrusive. Most importantly, never, ever, skew the story.


Sad to say this is a long gone philosophy.

165 Snowy Owl  Sun, Aug 6, 2006 3:31:24pm

That's not Godzilla, that's just a digital artifact of JPEG compression.

Michelle Malkin has a take-off of the Beirut photo where dozens of little green footballs are bombing al-Reuters...

smartalice, we may end up with our gallery of Beirut "knock-offs"...

As for photography, smartalice, still prefer black and white film or Kodachrome slide film...a little more archival and harder to mess around with...what you shot is what you get.

170 smartalice  Sun, Aug 6, 2006 3:44:30pm

Black and white is truth and color lies. Ahh, now I'm getting nostalgic!
I did cave in and bought a digital camera since I don't have a darkroom. Its ok but I still like the purity of negatives and a darkroom.

Did you see the other photos (like the burning Koran and the wedding dress) by the same photographer? Talking about a setup! If its too good to be true it probably is.

171 chilltheham  Sun, Aug 6, 2006 3:46:31pm

173 Greg  Sun, Aug 6, 2006 4:04:49pm

smartalice, I would treat any phote by Mr. Hajj or a al-Reuters byline as a possible forgery...The green helmet ghoul and the dead babies ones for a start.

It is obvious the al-Reuters has a motive to destroy Israel and promote Islamofascism

174 Right Brain  Sun, Aug 6, 2006 4:14:34pm

There's softness, depth and texture to film that digital can't possess. In the old photos the blacks look like velvet. They don't even make that kind of stock anymore.

176 smartalice  Sun, Aug 6, 2006 4:23:24pm

#175 jemima

You are so right. Digital does lacks the richness.

177 reader  Sun, Aug 6, 2006 4:29:22pm

I'm shocked by this photo. Who would have thought Godzilla would have ever worked for scale?

178 OLDPUPPYMAX  Sun, Aug 6, 2006 5:04:06pm

Obviously another fake! Godzillas color is too brown, his teeth are too short and he seems to have developed a case of red-eye.

179 Laurence Simon  Sun, Aug 6, 2006 5:10:28pm

Is that Jewzilla, Godzionna, or Yahwehzilla?

180 finnman69  Sun, Aug 6, 2006 6:15:31pm

It would be amore believable Reuters pic of the Godzilla was wearing orthodox sideburns and a yarmulk

181 Godzilla  Sun, Aug 6, 2006 6:15:44pm

I can unequivocally state that that picture does not do me justice. Lebanon is on my shit list now.

It could just be my eyes playing tricks on me, but I think I found a zionist in the smoke.

Hey, guess what?
A whole lot of Hezbollah Green-Helmets plus Hassan Nasrallah himself, have been caught dancing through the red-light district of Amsterdam.
[Link: www.snoesje.info...]

Hm.
The Green Helmets somehow look a bit alike.
So do the whores...

But it is a genuine photograph, yes it is!
Reallyreallyreally!
Not doctored at all!
A Reuters-special!
