Having learned of the growing trend at Reuters, BBC, and other progressive media to doctor photographs, stage events, and use choreographed footage in the best Pallywood traditions, researchers at Karl Marx Treatment center decided to make it even easier for news organization to re-educate their audiences and advance the Greater Good™.

Following the Flat Gareth model, we chose a popular image of a peasant Arab woman bemoaning the loss of her humble abode after an Israeli bombing - or rather multiple humble abodes in various locations and on different days. Transporting a live talking elderly woman around the country and abroad for bemoaning sessions may be quite a drain on a successful photojournalist, we thought. Why can't we use the moaner's paper cutout instead? And thus Flat Fatima™ was born - laminated on a durable plastic board that can be folded and easily fits most popular models of travel bags.

Thank you so much! Those researchers at the Karl Marx Treatment Center have done it again. I can't wait to see Fatima in some more hard-hitting news stories. But if I can give you some lady to man advice - uh, Fatima might not like being called flat. Not that you can tell if she is or isn't. Where I come from those are fighting words. Just something to think about.
 

Kudos to the KMTC for this wonderful resource. Fatima™ is not just a tool we can use in photographs to manipulate the ignorant masses into progressive stupor. No, Fatima™ is an ICON! I see book deals, a spot on Oprah, walks down the red carpet and perhaps a reality show on CBS. The possibilities with this hag are ENDLESS.  Cindy Sheehan, get the hell out, Fatima™ is the new standard bearer now!

WITH FATIMA™, THE HEARTS WILL BLEED!!! PRAISE HILLARY CLINTON THE GLORIOUS PARTY CENTER!!!
 

 

 

Wait... was she born from aliens, or genetically cloned from Neanderthals using advanced cloning techniques and alien DNA, or just dropped off here from Zon?
 

She is none other than --- The Sea Hag (no relation to Cindiii Shehag),
but says Popeye "I yam glad she ain't dead even if she is a exter bad woman".
 

For all you infidels Abu made a large version on his blog here!
 

Let's see if I can do this right...

I have a question or two thats been bugging me for a while and I want to ask the collective about this. To post pictures (as stated in the peoples FAQ) you have to do it from a file storage place thing online. OK, sounds easy enough. Well, any suggestions on where to do this exactly. Also, are there any legal consequences in photoshoping pics and then posting them? All of this is really confusing and I REALLY want to start playing with pictures and posting them...

PLEASE HELP, They dint teech me thys in publik skool!

--Meow.
 

Salamaleikum Tableman, go to Flickr.com!

And as on the legal consequences, Abu says this:

Just reposting is forbidden, but Reuters would have to...

a) find you (so don't post your address on your blog - they won't go via your IP and FBI (which they could and would if you started threatening the Infidel President), and: don't ever post from a company with permanent connection to the internet, because that IPs are easily tracable to the company), ...

b) alter the image so it is a parody or something like that. Then it is not such a clear violation of copyright.

Abu is no lawyer, so you have to watch out yourself. (Abu is a Pallywood Insider)
 

I use Imageshack.com which is free.

First I use MS Paint.

First I open up Paint and under Image in Paint I use Stretch/Skew and in Horizontial and Vertical I change that from 100% to 500%.

I save as BMP under something like "Template"

I then past photos onto the new "Template" and move them around.

I do resize my photos first using a free program called Irfan so they match. I know you can resize the photos using Paint, but never tried.

Once I get them the way I want I save the photo calling it something I like. Then I open it in Ifran and crop it. With Ifran you can also add text. I usually save it as a jpeg and using ifran I slide the properties to about 65% to make is smaller to load up.

I then go to a free site called Imageshack.com and hit the browse button and look for my new photo and hit the upload.

Then I copy the bottom link and paste it in a word document which I title and then I paste that "preview" link then you will see a "img" box then make sure you put the link between the [img] and the ending I think it is [\img].

I know it sounds like a lot of work, but once you get the hang of it, it is really quick.

That is how I do it...others might do it differently.
 

Chairman Meow, you can also try Zooomr.  I like it better than Flickr.  Or ImageShack, which is quick'n'dirty photo storage.
 

Thank you Comrades. Your collective thoughts have helped. May the Party ensure that your ration cards never expire!
 

Fighting for the Struggle, Chairman Meow!



I notice I have to put the link in when I hit "preview". I can't just paste the link without doing that?
 

I wanna get in on the Fatima fun! Who does this look like?


 

AP says, "What is thy bidding my master?"


 

Flat Fatima single-handedly disarms a Patriot missle battery.
 

These are all great! Raptor Red, you caught Fatima's look very well...lol. You caught her "essence".

It will give the Red People's Brigade a great chuckle...remember every smile destroys a Capitalists heart.

I have an actual photo taken by Adan Hajj of the devastation that the IDF has caused. Fatima's own sister was killed when one of Fatima's many houses fell on her beloved sister, Jasmina, the Wicked Witch of the East. Here is the actual photo!



The West LIES! These photos that we are posting are NOT Fabricated, but ACTUAL photos taken by the courages Hezo...uh...I mean Reuters photographers of the evil Israeli aggression!

Let's not forget her softer side:

 

Flat Fatima now has her own blog:

This lady is has a really rough life.  This is my first try at this.

A: It is set in the future!


 

 

Cool but unlikely:Prime Minister Fouad Siniora has a King Théoden moment, chasing Hassan Nasrallah out of the Lebanese Parliment at AK-47 point
Nasrallah {squealing}:I've only ever served you, Prime Minister!
Siniora:Your leechcraft would have had me crawling on all fours like a beast!
{fires a few rounds into the air}
Nasrallah {Grovelling}: Send me not from your side!
{Siniora flips gun to full auto, points it at Nasrallah's head}
So who would play Aragon or Gandalf in this production?
 

Can you spot the fraud?

Here you go, Traci -

FATIMA ON THE ROOF




 

Here's my other one - inspired by Che Guevara...


 

Observe Fatima (in blue hijab) relaxing on the background as her stunt double (brown hijab) takes her spot, mimicking Fatima's famous moves and facial expression. This Fatima has the same birthmark under the right eye as the original one, so it's probably the same woman.

Private Pravda

Sorry for the delay, we have had to use the shovels for our executions because there has been a guillotine shortage. The Sierra club is protesting our use of wood in both shovels and guillotines. The tragic tale of a peoples group left to their own devices. They are currently running rampant in the factories and forests hampering our quest for wood. We are sending out the Nixon Clones of the New Peoples Red Army to "thin the herds". Your shovels should arrive in a month or so.
Until then, just use the bones of your departed fellow workers who have given the ultimate sacrifice for the greater good.

Readers keep sending us pictures. Could this be Fatima's sister? Not as dramatic but still a passable replacement if you don't have the budget for the authentic Flat Fatima™ cutout. The growing amount of bootleg Fatimas is troubling, though. All made in China, no less. We'd like to invoke the copyright law but it pains us to think we'd have to do it to fellow progressives in China. Why can't the Bush Administration be making fake Fatimas? Damn asymmetrical warfare!


 

The Jewfish I caught was this big!
But you should have seen the Zionist Whale that got away!
Big enough to swallow Jonah and Allah, I'm telling you!
 

Whoa, I didn't realize Allah was so small. You could squish him if you don't watch your step.

It isn't Flat Fatima, is it?

Ushanka tip to SMO
 

The scary thing is, even though I wasn't looking for her, there she was... and in a ZAHAL ATC if I'm not mistaken... and now, for some strange reason, I've had the lyrics to that Scarlet Pimpernel poem/song going through my head all day... and you know that means that the only way I'm going to get it OUT of my head is to write alternate lyrics for it... Mind you... have a look... there ARE some good possibilities... much better than the theme to Spiderman (I'll never live that one down)... at least Pimpernel and Fatima each have three syllables... but do I count "damned" as one or two syllables?... help me out here or I'll get no sleep...

They Seek Him Here

They seek him here, they seek him there
Those Frenchies seek him everywhere
Is he in heaven or is he in hell?
That damned elusive Pimpernel

He meddles with the Frenchie Revolution
Popping in and out each week
Spoiling every lovely execution
La, what cheek!

They seek him here, they seek him there
Those Frenchies seek him everywhere
If there's a phantom in heaven or hell
'Tis the Scarlet Pimpernel!

They Film Her Here

They film her here, and in Beirut
She's everywhere, the point it moot.
Whether in Tyre or Gaza or Haifa
She flails for them, Flat Fatima.

<doesn't quite flow right... count is wrong... it's the Haifa/Fatima... but Gaza doesn't work any better... Netanya?... ooh!... Medina!!... >

Be it Tehran, Jenin, or Medina...
She flails for them all, does Flat Fatima.  

<Much better... reminds me of Tone Loc's Funky Cold Medina... >

ooookay... what's next... meds I think... <Hammertime!>
Yeah... definitely meds...

Mohammed al-Durra footage also a hoax

http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,23776421-2,00.html

news.com.au

THE death of 12-year-old Palestinian boy Mohammed al-Durra by“gunfire from the direction of the Israeli” forces, as reported by French TV reporter Charles Enderlin, was huge world news eight years ago.

The al-Durra imagery truly became, in the words of one Canadian journalist, “the farce that launched a thousand suicide bombers”....

But it now seems that what we saw was not what actually happened. ...

H/T TraderVic of the ChinaDaily BBS
 

I actually saw that video a while ago. The kid obviously moves around without showing any signs of injury at the end.
 

Tried my hand at the Fatima anguish phenomenon. I think I did ok! Here it is on my blog..

- http://genericketchup.com/?p=153
 

Hey how do we get a "free sample" of the other Fatima graphic? The one where she's really crying up a storm in pain.
 

Comrade GenericKetchup, your zeal has been noticed. Please contact your local Commissar for an extra ration of beets.
 

I think we also need to use the picture of the Al-Durrahs and place them in all kinds of places, to make greater news photography. People might notice our hoax truth. On the other hand, we can kill purge them in the name of Marxism
 

We could get a Flat Gore and show him up to the waist in water in front of major city skylines.
 

A Flat Gore is an amazing and politically correct idea. Could be use to prove Israel's the cause of global warming. It's a big step towards the Revolution(tm).
 

And a Flat Al could prove that without Israel, the Dead Sea would be like the French Riviera.
 

The next Al Gore's bestseller, "The Da Vinci Code II: Who killed the Dead Sea?" will expose the Zionist conspiracy to turn the formerly fertile land into desert in order to drive out the indigenous populations. But the Jews know the antidote - why else, every time they settle in the desert, is it turning into a garden? But as soon as the Arabs take that land back from the Jews, it's turning into desert again.

Not only is this unfair to Arabs - deserts across the world could be recovered worldwide, saving the starving third-world babies, if only the Jews didn't keep that secret of fertility to themselves. In the meantime, the globe is warming faster because the deserts provide no shade from the sun.

But Robert Langdon - an honest and trustworthy professor of symbology at Harvard, who looks like Tom Hanks and has a great affection for puzzles of all kinds - unlocks the ancient mystery and saves the day with the help of Salifa Najib, played by some pretty Arab actress wearing a full burqa.

In the end the earth returns to its once lost eternal-spring-blooming normalcy, the Jews get collectively pushed into the Dead Sea by the progressive world community, and Al Gore receives a bunch of Nobels in the categories of Peace, Symbology, and Social Studies.
 

Red, there is one worry. I do so fret that one day someone will simply tire of the Holy Gore and knock the shit out of him.
