I work with Photoshop daily and this is Photoshopped!

Picture looks photoshopped.
Blog was only created today. Nobody on the Internet that Google crawls has posted it.
There are no other posts in the blog.
Headline on the blog is the same style as how OP writes.

Fail?

edit: Oh one more thing, the perspective is off too. Unless the cameraman had some weird lense.

Thanks Nventual, and Pappie54, I too agree you can see this before any zooming in.

Evidence leans in favour of photoshopping.

i belong in the loony bin!

Yep.

To me, it says that security surrounding the President of Iran is nowhere near as strict as we've been led to believe.

I mean, come on. She could just walk out in front of his car and flip him off? She's obviously not in a hurry to move, she's standing quite still. No one seems to even be reacting. Not the driver, not the guys beside the president. That's not quite the reaction you'd expect - especially with all the riots and so on.

How long would anyone be allowed to stand in front of Obama's limo, do you figure? They'd be on the ground before they stepped off the curb.

If it's not photoshopped, it says quite a lot about how we've been mislead on Iran.

disregard this post. didn't mean to post it.

If this wasn't photoshopped I would say it's likely this was from very early on during Ahmadinejads victory rally... before things got really bad. Plus the view is either cropped or too narrow-field to say for sure about security. That also points in the direction of photoshopping.

You said it

Photoshop or not...you have to admit is puts a smile on the face!

Congratulations warrenb, you're the first person I've added to my ignore list.

You have to look at the bigger picture in Iran, and how the Iranian people are defying their vicious dictator Khamenei, and his puppet Ahmadinejad.

Therefore an image like this is iconic.

Of course if someone behaved dangerously towards Obama they could even get shot. I don't dispute that. But an unarmed woman would not get taken away and tortured and later hanged. Do you understand.

But to somehow say that means you can use that to make comparisons between Obama and Ahmadinejad is incorrect.

And the bigger picture is Who exactly is behind the uprising?

The defiant woman may have had dual citizen ship but that wouldn't matter because Iran are meant to be the bad guys and they are being poked and poked so as they will bite back, well they havn't bitten yet so I suppose this lone woman will become the new Angel of Iran, stories surfacing about a public execution.

Out of curiosity. you know about Iran from how exactly???

Hey sorry I missed your post whilst being distracted by that warrenb guy. His strawman arguments and failure to recognise his debunked theories whilst consistently trolling on my thread causing distraction means I've added him to my ignore list. Anyway to actual matters.

I have some Iranian friends in the UK, who have family and friends over in Iran, Tehran. They've been in contact as much as possible, but recently the phone lines have been cut dead completely... they even tried ringing about 100 times to get thru' but no answer.

Anyway one of those friends I mentioned sent me the link for this photo today. He spends all his time searching for photos and videos so he sends me links of useful stuff that I haven't found myself. From the way it's been cropped I would have to say IMO this may not be real, and the glitches near the womans left arm are also an indicator.

IMO it is probably a photo from Ahmadinejad's victory rally from a while back, and the president is posing for a photo. Most likely the cropped bits show his regime loyal fans not paying attention to any woman giving him to finger, and so they removed it to make it look authentic. You have to remember this photo could be faked by anyone in the world who just has too much spare time. I doubt the opposition are up to making forgeries to prove their case.

Anyway that's by no means conclusive, for all I know a copy of this photo may turn up without the crop and show militia aiming a gun at her.
