The Iranian Threat: Photoshop
Yes, Iran’s government is headed by a complete wacko, and yes, they do pose a threat. However, it’s hard not to laugh about their exaggerating their threat with Photoshop. What’s scarier than three missiles? Four missiles of course!
“We don’t have four missiles? Quickly, get a torrent of Photoshop CS3 and a serial crack and make one! Piratebay akbar!”
I fear the day that Israel will be obliterated by Photoshop filters. Once where there was a democracy in the Middle East, there will only be a sloppily applied swirl and gaussian blur while a clone stamp on another layer will superimpose the might of Iran.
I am now convinced that after regime change, the first priority is to get Iran some graphic designers.

That’s too funny, but 1 missile is more than enough.

I saw that on the news earlier and couldn’t help but crack up. They’re stirring up a lot of crap just to get a spotlight in the media.

“Piratebay akbar!” has now because something I am going to say. Actually works for a number of sites. “digg akbar” “break akbar”.

Well, those things are expensive. Makes sense not to waste them!

How funny!…I just hope they don’t find out that we’re all over here rollling on the floor laughing about it. Like BN said, one missile can do plenty of damage.

If this thing escalates any further we might see a barrel of oil in the $300 range in short period of time.

Amazingly entertaining to say the least. Maybe some will discover things they never knew about Iran here.

This is hilarious. A 2yr old could have done better than that. Get with the times indeed.

How many Iranians does it take to fire a photoshop missile?
July 17th, 2008 at 5:36 am
Hmm, I’m not convinced that the 2 missile shots are the same, but the 2 smoke cloud shots at the bottom certainly are
July 17th, 2008 at 5:56 am
Well at least we know they have someone over there who can work photoshop. That’s a threat. They can make mean pictures of us

I didn´t know they had time to learn Photohop!!!

I think this funny post. So I am not convince that the 2 missile shots are the same and the 2 smoke cloud shots.
July 21st, 2008 at 10:05 pm
great catch, it seems the whole world is threat these days
July 22nd, 2008 at 8:41 am
This is what you call PR gone wrong!
July 22nd, 2008 at 6:37 pm
I’ll be honest. I can’t see anything wrong with the photograph.
July 22nd, 2008 at 9:43 pm
Me either. Maybe some closeups with pixel analysis would be more convincing.

One other poster said it best… it only takes one. What is scary is how damaging one missle can be. It could make 9-11 look small.

Im so glad that I visited your blog, you made me laugh. Well I do agree that the Iranians should invest some money and time in getting new photo designers. But the question that I ask is; how can a leader like this allah akbar guy think that the world wont discover that it is fake. It is not like if they do not have other missiles, because they do..
July 31st, 2008 at 2:47 pm
Well, those things are expensive
August 30th, 2008 at 3:38 pm
lol clearly photoshoped!
they are just too lazy to fire more lol im sure they have plenty of em
August 30th, 2008 at 8:55 pm
Good one. I cant say anything about the missile but the base (explosion) sure looks the same.
January 6th, 2009 at 6:53 pm
Lol! I cannot believe that they would even try to convince us otherwise. It was basically a waste of time and then made them look bad. Oh well. Thanks for sharing!
