    Looks like the simple answer is copyspace, you can see the copy on the Sun newspaper would have gone over his face and would have been hard to read. So common sense photoshop him out or lose more copy space, and the Sun do love a headline 🙂 David

    His knee was left as reminder of the power of British colonialism. “If we can cut your boatmen off at the knees, just imagine what we could do to your fragile export economy.”

    Jeez, I can’t believe that SUN would perpetrate such atrocious tomfoolery. They have till now stood the test of time as one of the remaining bastions of civilization.

    which journalism school did they go to? regardless of copy-space or not, it’s an editorial, and any editor will tell you it’s wrong to alter a photograph meant for editorial. it’s called DISTORTING THE FACTS.

    Not only that, but I would be ashamed, ASHAMED I tell you, to publish a picture with that obvious clone-stampery going on. Has no one at the Sun heard of the Patch Tool? Or the Healing Brush? Good Lord and Butter, man*, have a little self-respect! M *Or woman, as the case may be.

    Terrible work with Photoshop! And terrible journalism. The knee, the motor disappeared, the horrible cloning in the water… Next time, “the SUN”, please, contact a professional to do the work! I’m disposable! 🙂

    I started reading this blog just before I went to bed last night. I clicked through to the site, and for the next hour or so I was laughing my head off. This is some of the funniest stuff I’ve seen in a long time. Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Rachel! – Darrell Young
