Back to Propaganda 101 for you...

At the GNU Public Dictatorship we are nothing if not excited about what advances in technology can mean for the common man, but we are, on occasion, discouraged by the shoddy use of these technological gifts we have been given. Take, for instance, this recent Photoshop hack job by the state-run newspaper in Egypt. If they had taken a second to look at it after they modified it they would realize that most observers would notice that there had been a modification, and if most observers realize this, then at least somebody will go look up the original picture, and then embarrassment follows. Next semester it looks like they will be required to retake Propaganda 101.
