Interesting... if you just gloss over that photo, it sure looks real.

Okay, that's probably the goofiest thing I've ever seen. In related news, the People's Islamic Front have captured Barbie and will behead her if the US government doesn't send a keg of beer to my place by noon.

I can't belive that anyone could actually think that looks real.  It looks ridiculous....

What about a hostage exchange? 

The purple dinosaur for the captured GI JOE?

Wow, it's so rediculously fake. If that were a real POW, he'd see that the ONLY gun trained on him wasn't even loaded. Look closer at the plastic assault rifle pointing at him. where the clip enters, no clip is to be found, merely a shadow. Wow, they must be REALLY desperate.
