Howdy, my AOSHQ friends! Glad to see you around here again!

The continual exposé that Ace is referring to:

* (The video you see below)
* Minor Bun Engine Made Benny Lava
* Duke Duke
* The Wild West
* Moscow
* YMCA
* Stomach Ache

And for some more bonus Friday fun, Superman and a cool guy ('cuz he's SO cool).

Be sure to sign up for our RSS feed if you want to see more of these gems when we find 'em (plus your recommended daily dose of Mahmoud "Shortstop" Ahmadinejad—And by "recommended," Mahmoud means "mandatory or death")

Hope to see y'all again real soon!

Wow, we haven't had one of these in forever! Bollywood videos with somewhat inaccurate "translations" are, in my humble opinion, comedy gold. Back when we first started running across these Buffalaxed videos, we even went so far as to set up the "Friday Fun" category to contain all of the hilarity, but were disappointed when Buffalax stopped producing his "masterpieces."

So, with all of that in mind, and without further ado, I present to you the eternal question:

Three cheers for "busy with meetings" Fridays. To tide you over, here's a little glimpse at what the Wild West would've looked like, if it came from Bollywood.



If y'all want to put some Buffalax-style lyrics to this puppy, just slap 'em down in the comments section. I'd love to hear 'em!

Bonus round: I can't embed it, so you'll have to click over—It's time for today's Prabhu Deva Mayhem Minute(s).

When a slow Friday throws you a curveball, I've found it's always best to toss it on over to Bollywood. The (fake) translations are what make this video truly memorable. [Ed.:—Well, other than the music that will be stuck in your head for the rest of the day, that is.]

[Slight language warning for some of the "fake but accurate" translations.]

Your pundit got armor, indeed.

Bonus, no explanation necessary. I just can't get enough of this stuff.

Here's a list of stories related to Reuters' fauxtography scandal.

The Hajj (Reuters) scandal and issues with Beirut Photos in general.

There are 2 areas of concern: 1) Staging of photos and; 2) Doctoring of photos. Links are in Chronological order.

ISSUE 1, STAGING OF PHOTOS:

"Milking it" (Critical look at Qana photos)

"Hezbollywood? Evidence mounts that Qana collapse and deaths were staged"

"Who is this Man?" (Green Helmet)

"Qana - the director's cut"

"The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth" (Green Helmet & Co, show up in Tyre)

(Powerline blog exposes yet another suspect group of photos same damage reported as new 12 days apart).

"Extreme Makeover - Beirut Edition" (Drinking from Home exposed more photos. This time, the same woman is shown losing her home first in Southern Beirut on 7/22 and then in the "suburbs of Beirut" on 8/5)

"Shaking the Dead" (Confederate Yankee shows staged photos of a "rescue worker" grasping a hand protruding from the rubble for both Reuters and AP)

"The Passion of the Toys" (Slublog has a collection of all the posed stuffed animals among the ruble)

"Lights, Camera, Action!"

ISSUE 2, DOCTORING OF PHOTOS

Beirut Smoke (Little Green Footballs uncovered an obviously doctored photo by Hajj)

It was quickly picked up here on FR

Reuters admitted the first photo (Beirut smoke) was doctored and suspended Hajj

A second doctored photo (F16) was identified by Jawa

Reuters admitted the second photo was also doctored, fired Hajj and withdrew all 920 of his photographs
