And speaking of pics (click for full size):
Yeah, my wife found that.
Oh, and while I’m at Funpics, I guess I should link to this one, if only because I saw some Korean paper make note of it the other day.

I like their distorted reflections in the enormous, shiney cup.
What are they drinking, anyway?

Maybe I’m not imagining the correct angle, but it doesn’t seem like Koizumi’s nose would look that way in the cup reflection.
The angle of his nose is almost parallel to the surface of the cup closest to him, so how could his nostrils become that prominent in the reflection compared to the rest of his nose?
My guess is that the photo might be doctored. And of course that means, as atrocity deniers will have you know, that Koizumi does not exist.
Yeah, Koizumi does not exist in the cup. However, some may still insist that Koizumi does exist in the cup since there is a picture. So the human stem cell clones exist since Prof. Hwang presented the pictures of 11 clones.

So what you’re saying is that there are either zero or two Koizumis, but that someone was pretending there were eleven?
Anyway, I was serious that I think this picture is doctored.
Perhaps the reflection that we see reflects an image of Koizumi in the base of the cup.
That would explain the angle of the nose.

I’m still not convinced. Also, the sumo wrestler’s actual gaze is downward, but in his reflection it seems to be parallel with the plane of ground level.
Koizumi’s not a popular guy in Korea, and it wouldn’t surprise me if someone photoshopped him to have a pig’s nose, sort of in line with an obnoxious racial slur.
hmmmm.. seems as though it may be doctored.. here’s a similar picture. but from a slightly different angle… still trying to find the one posted above..

funny none-the-less
After seeing the picture you linked, Darin, I’m nearly 100% convinced this is doctored. The heads in the photo above are just too big. (Yeah, it’s funny, I guess).
What I’d like to know is if this picture is doctored.
I mean the ??? ??? writing on the flag/banner/paper. It looks a lot like a certain “handwriting” font I used to see, and there are pictures of the same group holding up a Korean flag that was about the same size as this thing.
it certainly doesn’t look like handwritting to me either, but who’s to say they didn’t just print out a sign on their way to the moon?
Those faces were definitely used on the cover of a magazine or some article on Koizumi in recent months. Cannot recall where, though.
