Ain't it barbaric?!

Can I borrow this pic? 'Cause its too good to not spread around the Internets!

yes, rafael. do as you will with it!

They hanged him for 148 murders. I want to see someone hang for the 600,000 Iraqis killed since the US invasion.

I hereby award you the title of Knight of the British Empire. Classic photoshop. I mean stunningly brilliant. applause etc.

Why Señor McAdder Esq KBE, I am honored, of course. I can only hope that with this title I can carry forth on my trusty pixelsteed with even greater diligence and fluorescent hues and one day strike the greatest of great gradient blows against the Empire.

I remain, your humble servant,

Nezua Limón Xolagrafik-Jonez

"Prettier than Lou Dobbs and smarter than 10 Aryans"?

Ah, that's nothing. Myself, I'mhung likeEinstein and almost as smart as a horse. It's no wonder that the chicas dig me so much.

Great Photoshop. Says everything that needs saying.

hola pablo - we sound like quite a pair! i bet we could rouse an entire hungry suburb of White America just by jangling our silver spurs through town and barking out chimichanga equations.

gracias, friend.

Admirable work. As a fellow Photoshopper, perhaps you can help me out with a technical tip: where in the Photoshop workspace do you find the Extra Strength Irony Enhancement button?

gracias, mark. this one was actually a quickie job. this one was much harder, for example! the rest of my foto-tomfoolery (if i remembered to tag all the entries, that is) are here, although i do use fotoshop in most entries, one way or another.

aha! the Extra Strength Irony Enhancer is actually a plug-in for Macs. you get that by filling out a Freedom of Information request with Donald Rumsfeld, who will require you to register with the political fotoshoppers now being catalogued by the NSA. However, for some odd reason, he cannot be reached, in which case you may be out of luck!

For PC computers, you can find the ESIE button under the american flag icon that denotes your keyboard configuration. if you click on that flag, it flips over and has a dollar icon on the back. rub that dollar with your mouse and it will do tricks, one of which is Enhancing all the Irony in the world at once (upgrades not included).

So good that it inspired me to write this:

Thanks Nezua!

dead on, amigo. that's the truth we need to keep telling to la gente so it begins to be understood what we do in order to keep the spigots flowing. until an awareness of these age-old patterns of hegemonic manipulation behind our glorious actions becomes ubiquitous, America will continue to be too easy to brainwash with CNN-FOX-MSNBC propaharma. thanks for doing your part, 'mano.

(PS: for your blog you'll want to put a width="405" tag inside your image tag HTML so you fit everything in your column.)

Very nicely done - you have some truly wicked Photoshop skillz. Mind if I put up a thumbnail to link to this from my blog?

gracias, Realist. you may do as you wish. and to all others reading: my copyright page puts it out there: i make it, you take it! please, feel free.

Thanks for the heads up. I always found the Blogger template width to be to narrow. I was simply afraid with mocking up the CSS template.

Yeah, Rafael, don't touch the .css template for this one. this Width tag goes right in your img src code, like the title="TITLE HERE" or the alt="ALT TITLE HERE" tags. And if you adjust the width, the height will be adjusted proportionately.

you may wanna investigate your .css or index templates eventually to widen the column, if it bothers you. i have spent all my time on Movable Type, so I don't really know the places or tags to affect for your setup.

Nezua,
You seem to have confused two different epochs here. Everyone knows that when the first picture was taken Saddam was a good murderous dictator while in the second he was a card carrying member of the Axis of Evil murderous dictator. I can only assume that this was done as an attempt to smear Our Glorious Leader. He's way ahead of you however. The preemptive lobotomy has made him impervious to sarcasm, guilt or criticisms.
The photoshop work is first rate though.

watchoo mean, private fuodd??? this is an actual TV screengrab. what is this "Photoshop" everyone keeps talking about?

DOOD that preemptive lobotomy line is cakey. i'm loving it with coffee.

0.o

Words escape me.

P.S. - or P.D., in Spanish - the post title is also very a propos.

you are the first to comment on the lyric, profesora! i was wondering if i'd hear anything about that. jeje. gracias.

who sells the anthrax,the bombs,the bullets?Saddam was gonna tell...

..
absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
don't kill the poor dictator

absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
dictators should kill more

absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
admire brutal dictators

absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
mourn evil tyrants...
..

Love the picture. I see it differently that all you left-handed wankers. PAX AMERICANA!

hola john d infidel. i appreciate your words on my fotoshoppie.

i hear you on the wanking thing. i just find that the left hand provides that sense of Otherness that sometimes is required, you know? i do understand, tho, if you want to stick with a more conservative approach.

and...you do know what the "pax" part of that phrase is supposed to signify, right? jeje. america ain't doin' too well at keepin or makin any, vato.

or should i say WE AIN'T DOIN' TOO WELL AT MAKIN' OR KEEPIN ANY, VATO!

¡paz!

Pax Americana is only good for those that it serves, the American power elites, everybody else gets it in the rump. Besides, remember that what goes around comes around. The American Empire is falling, fast and when it collapses their will be Hell to pay.

The Devil always gets his due....

Shake it sugaree! Just don't tell them that you know me... very appropo.

Can I steal that pic too?

Excellent stuff

thank you Fade. yes, all images i make are for anyone to show and post.

Wow. I'm just seeing this for the first time. Effing amazing. And the Dylan reference just perfects it. I think I'm going to steal this, even though it's been a while since Saddam was hanged; I can't leave it to people to click through to see this.

feel free, take it with my blessing.
