​

A group of Syrians decided to hold an anti-American rally. Since they couldn't read and write English for their protest signs, they found an English speaker to "translate" their anti-American slogans for them. They apparently made the mistake of asking the wrong guy to help them and he took matters into his own hands…

Funny. I wonder if its real.

Funny. I wonder if its real.

If you look at the farther signs, the edges of the letters (especially the top edges) are far sharper than the banners that they're on. I'm guessing that it was Photoshopped.

Still very funny, though.

Photoshop is this world's salvation.

Thanks, man.

Looks like a pretty good photoshopping job, though. Letters are convincingly angled on the front banner. Resolution-matching different images is tough, though.

www.snopes.com does in fact list this as an obvious fake, but i thought we could use a laugh to lighten the load a bit

It is funny that so many protest banners in non-English-speaking countries really are in English. To whom are they protesting?

Cameras are ultimately English speaking.

But that is a good point.
