In 1988, film students Jack Saltzberg and David Teitelbaum put on tuxedos and went down to the Academy Awards ceremony. They didn't have tickets or press passes, and never expected to actually get in, but the opportunity presented itself and they strolled in like they belonged there, and talked to stars along the red carpet. The footage they shot was later shown on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. More recently, Vice interviewed David Teitelbaum about how the stunt came about, and what happened afterward. They got quite a bit of publicity out of it, which may or may not have helped his career in the industry. -via Metafilter

it all started when "neutral" Reuters realized that one of their own contractors was a little bit biased enough to doctor his own photos...

Hopefully, you'll be a little bit more skeptical every time you read or see a Reuters report, or even a BBC report for that matter.
Do you like your news objective, or do you like it to pretend to be objective?
Also - more to the point - do you like the reporter to wish you dead or alive? Check back to the original photo of this post before you decide...
But I'm not picking on you- just Malkin. Sincere good wishes,

How do we know which photo is the original, and if the one with the sign isn't the photoshopped one, created for the purpose of condemning revisionists?
Why would revisionists not simply alter the words of the sign, or place an entirely different sign there, say, directions to the local beerhall? Or just crop the damn thing? Because that isn't as dramatic...?
I don't doubt that signs such as that shown in the photo existed. I don't doubt that revisionists exist. However, I question the validity of this source.
