snapped shot

GatewayPundit has discovered that one of our noble fauxtographs has been honoured as the International Picture of the Year for 2006. My congratulations to the photographer, Tyler Hicks, for the honours, and my sincerest thanks for keeping people like Gateway and myself in business.

Tyler Hicks, the photographer who took the photograph pictured here, has spoken out over the controversy surrounding its caption, clearly explaining the process by which the caption came into being, and how it distorted the actual reality of the picture. It's very important to remember that the story told by the caption is equally as important as the photograph itself. I commend Tyler for sharing the story behind this caption!

Little Green Footballs is hot on the case again. Check out this Lebanese refugee shelter:



Looks normal, right? Well, other than the fact that there're far more people crowded in there than we'd expect to see in a bomb shelter? Well, it appears that something out of the ordinary is going on after all, for behold:—



Tyler, would you care to explain yourself? Are you trying to hide somebody's identity here? This looks fairly obvious to me, though I suppose there's still an off chance that the gentleman in the second picture is wearing some kind of headwear around his neck...

Once again, our hats are off to the good folks down at LGF for an outstanding job!

It would appear that the New York Times has been dinged for falling for the ol' dead body gag. Hint to all of the Hezbullies that may be reading this: Make sure that your "dead" don't move around when they're being photographed.

My hat's off to Gateway Pundit for having such sharp eyes!
