Like I said Sol, intersting but probably isn't true (plus a little disgusting, too).

Well if it's in the Globe it has to be true.
That was sarcasism by the way. Interesting though, the date on the article is my birthday.

Tec, I agree. What's up with the different colored words in the headline? And, come on, the outline around Seven is so bitmapped, I could use it as a step ladder. I swear, if people want to use Photoshop or some other program to try and fool, they should learn how to use the friggin program.

The picture was created and you can see it clearly by the different colors of the letters in the headline and by the weird edges around Seven of nine's picture...

Besides, the picture says it's from the Globe, but the file name says "enquirer".

Yes, the title was influenced by John Cleese a bit. As for the picture, it actually is legit. Both of them were at the premier of Men Cry Bullets, however, that hand to the right of the picture is definately fake.

The pictures are real, but the entire thing was doctored. Somebody took the two pictures and the various parts of the headline, pasted them together on his/her/its computer, and typed up a fake article to go w/ it. That thing, in its entirety, was obviously not scanned from some source.
