Photoshop junkies

Huh! Someone has found a way to graffiti up some penguins. Of course this is photoshoped (which is the easiest and fastest way to exploit and create slander or libel). But whatever there are no "real" journalists out there any way. So "libel away" as far as anyone is concerned.

Photoshop has been at the fore front of libel lawsuits since it's invent. Do we all remember the CBS photo that came out with Katy Curik where she appeared to be about ten pounds thinner. No one really could see the difference except her but she made a big deal out of it and, well, low and behold, the photographer (who thought he was doing her a favor) was held up in a law suite.

I think that if you put media in anyone's hands, like we do so commonly now a days, there should be some revisions to the libel and slander laws. Or better yet, how about this retarded idea; lets leave journalism to journalists. I get it we all can write. (or type for that matter) Your opinion is one thing, which by the way I probably don't care. maybe I do. Who knows. One the other hand who gave this dude a job. Photoshop junkies, you are playing god. Information is probably next to godliness if you think about it on a certain level. It has the power of persuasion. persuasion has the ability to create followers. Jesus had followers. Jesus was close to god.
