Pun definitely intended. </p> <p> So I took a look at <a href="http://www.thememoryhole.org/media/evening-standard-crowd.htm" target="_blank">the evidence</a> and it looks cut and dry to me. In fact I spotted the guy in sunglasses who's repeated just from looking at the original photo. It's pretty much cut, paste and dried in fact. </p> <p> No doubt this kind of doctoring has been going on since The Paleolithic Post, so here's a small victory for the net that deception like this gets some decent exposure these days.</p> Thu, 15 May 2003 11:31:55 +0100 urn:uuid:781e1c739914c87d315161991081c340 sean http://informage.net/articles/2003/05/15/standard-skulduggery worldage http://informage.net/articles/trackback/91
