Kim Jong Oops

[MichaelChang]

<p>A photograph of Kim Jong-Il's funeral procession was apparently altered by the North Koreans where a few stragglers were cloned out in order to maintain "totalitarian aesthetics". <br>

<p>Perhaps the North Korean state agency should assign their press photographer an account on P.net. </p>

<p>I saw a picture of a Giant in one of those clips, he was twice the height of everybody else. Can't say for sure if it was digitally altered or not.<br>

<p>Reuters, again? Won't they ever learn?</p>

Clearly, the Norks must have viewed the stragglers as showing signs of weakness to the imperialist Americans and their

stooges in the South.

<p>Here's a CSM article including an 'explanation', as well as other classic 'shops. http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Global-Issues/2011/1229/North-Korea-not-the-only-offender-6-official-photo-fudgings/North-Korea-s-chronic-photoshopping</p>

<p>The best ones are the references to obvious official Photoshoppings that have been picked up by webbers and gone viral as 'generalized' to many more locations.</p>

<p>Look up the book "The Commissar Vanishes", to see how it was done by the Soviets in the good old days before Photoshop.</p>
