Update: Judging from the comments section of the post, it’s possible the photo is a fake.
It is a doctored photo.
It’s clearly a fake. The letters do not fit in the white boxes.
It’s totally fake. Check out http://img404.imageshack.us/my.php?image=onnikct7.jpg.
The Obama sign (and the one I made for you) can be done in 10 seconds by visiting http://www.churchsigngenerator.com. It even has the link at the buttom. I can’t believe so many people forwarded me the image without bothering to check out the link.
Well, there was no link on Bekaisa’s post.
Still, that sign generator is pretty cool.
And a pity the sign was a fake coz I thought it pretty funny if politically incorrect.
Anyways.
The link was on the photo (bottom right) that Bekaisa posted. People were so excited about the photo that didn’t look closely (i got the same photo through e-mail by dozens of people and they all had the link on the photo). Anyway, I have been duped before so I have been paying attention to small things.
