They posted this as a legit photo of the Russian army in a field in Georgia as one of their "Photos of the week".
Click on picture number 3. http://www.cbsnews.com/elements/2008...y4350565.shtml
Or if you are lazy here is the pic. 
What's wrong here? Anyone?
They must have some seriously potent feed in Georgia.

The lighting source on the soldiers' helmets and the tank on the right appears to be almost directly behind the photographer. On the tank and soldiers on the left, and the trees, it appears the lighting source may be much further to the left. Of course, this is all to my VERY untrained eye.
What cow, what are you talking about?!

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: Los Angeles | | I love getting a laugh out of bad photoshop attempts, especially when it's under the context of being a legit photo on a huge news site!
I could probably photoshop the cow out of the picture to begin with, and then put a new one in place that actually looks like it's there!
Dam, they should hire me!

Did they secede back to the confederacy or something?

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: West Midlands, U.K. | | | ah, no no no, see its actually the other way round, the cow is there, but obviously the russians aren't because they've signed a ceasefire.
(I don't mean to offend anyone, just a satirical joke with a hint of sarcasm, mainly because we had reports on the news tonight from Georgia of russian military vehicles heading towards the georgian capital, except the Kremlin has offically signed the ceasefire agreement and has denied the deployment of troops to the capital, on the news report the troops came up in a van, and when they saw the c.amera the all tried to hide, dispite them all being in a large troop carrier)
And I think there must be a missunderstanding because you (America) are not at war with Georgia, the Russians have invaded a disputed province, and have now moved into Russia, America has condemmed the action of the Russians. However, from the reports we've been getting here, especially looking at the history it is unclear who is supposed to be the bad guy, not nessacerilly a case of just those Commie Reds always in the wrong. Take a look at the history if you disagree, It's all so complicated in the Caucases but I'm surethats another post entirely, or not at all considering the connotations.
