ROFL Photo from Iraq

<p>Okay, you can’t post photos on this site (thank goodness) but use your imaginations:</p>

<p>Smiling Army enlisted man with two smiling Iraqi boys, ages maybe 10 and 12, standing in front of him. One of them has a cardboard sign, on which, written in English is: “I’m still safer here than at Michael Jackson’s.”</p>

<p>Thanks, Undecided. Someone obviously farked the photo for a hilarious result…wasn’t aware of all the “history” behind it. Still think it’s funny. The fark, that is.</p>

<p>I’ve never checked Snopes for “humor.”</p>

<p>I would honestly have believed it if it wasn’t playing on current events in a place where I generally assume people could care a less and I hadn’t previously run across the photo.</p>

<p>I check Snopes regularly. Great way to keep up to date with the latest hoaxes. :D</p>

<p>(There’s a similar photo alteration idea that often circulates as “real”: it’s actually a /generator/ site, though, and it’s a church’s marquee that you can type to say anything you want. :P)</p>

<p>So many hoaxes, so little time. I’m not <em>quite</em> cynical enough to check Snopes regularly.</p>
