In these photos, Vladimir Lenin celebrates the second anniversary of the Russian Revolution in Red Square. But in the second one, his comrade Leon Trotsky is suddenly persona non grata.

After  So your answer is "yes" then? You actually do believe that people were just as fooled back then by manipulated images as they are today?  Absoluetly not. They were fooled way more than we are today! Look how sophisticated we are today. We trust nothing we see on tv. We question every photo, cuz we are aware (most of us only vaguely) of the capabilities of photoshop and similar software. We don't even trust our own eyes, cuz we know about the weaknesses of our brains. What about 100 years back? An overexposed photo was easily taken for a proof that ghosts do exist. I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at the dirt. | |

We're more suspicious today, absolutely, but that doesn't mean we're fooled less. Far from it. For one thing, the fakes were extremely rare back then. Today we're absolutely bombarded with fakes. Also back then you had a chance to see through the fake since it was usually very poorly done, whereas today it is of such high quality that if you let your guard down for just a second, you've bought the fraud without knowing it. I guess we'll never agree on this though.  | |

If you get the TV shows Entertainment Tonight or Extra, etc., they won't stop showing them there. Not particularly shocking, unless there are some more x-rated ones. It's just a boxer (though a very handsome one) wearing fishnets. My Legacy

Morris Day - Fishnet http://www.youtube.com/wa...4gYiddFDSY 
Trapped at first glance I did a double take A victim without a chance Pulled in by the bait When I caught the Fishnet black pantyhose Big legs show through the holes Fishnet black pantyhose She's out to catch you With those fishnet pantyhose Closer, I can't see These drawers I could not pass She turned toward me Things were moving Kinda fast, kinda fast When I saw those Fishnet black pantyhose Big legs show through the holes Fishnet black pantyhose She's out to catch you With those fishnet pantyhose Fishnet black pantyhose Show everything from Her waist down to her toes Fishnet, black pantyhose Now I'm the catch Anything goes [Edited 9/25/07 17:20pm] I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at the dirt. | |
