From the desk of Jane Galt:Oops
It's hard doing all that boring web stuff in real time.
Nice touch. Especially under the picture of the "helicopter." Rand Simberg pointed out that earlier today, they said that a "viCe was closing" which sounds more like Rudy cleaning up Times Square than a war effort.
Posted by: Bob on April 3, 2003 3:50 PMWhat am I suppose to be looking at? The lack of a helicoper in the picture or the headline where Pfc. Lynch fought "to the death" but is still alive? Me confused.

I think I'll insert a couple "Blah"s in the next SOP I write.
Posted by: Matt on April 3, 2003 4:47 PMI'm sorry...is that different from normal? It all looks like blah blah to me sometimes.

Posted by: Matt on April 3, 2003 4:48 PMExcellent find! If authentic. Who just fired photographer for using photoshop to combine two war photos into one for dramatic effect? WP?
Posted by: sxs on April 3, 2003 8:39 PMYesterday at one point the Christian Science Monitor's online edition had a headline about the Catholic church dealing with a "scandle," but "blah blah" is a much bigger QA lapse.

and i thought everything on fark.com was real!!!
Posted by: Libertarian Uber Alles on April 4, 2003 6:14 AMI swear it's real. I happened to hit the WaPo, saw it, and immediately took a screen shot. Believe me, I'm not that good with photoshop.

This was just a crap editing job at the Reuters web page.
Posted by: Juke on April 4, 2003 8:41 AMYou don't need Photoshop to fake web page text. Just do a "view source", edit the HTML, open the edited version, and type in the original address in the address bar.
Posted by: Stentor on April 4, 2003 2:44 PMI just want to know where the Google toolbar is in the screenshot. Now that I have that, I couldn't live without it.
