Peace Duke photo fakery

It was too good to be true...

Well, folks, it turns out that the "Peace Duke" t-shirt photograph I had posted on Tuesday isn't real. A foreign Photoshop fiend faked the funny phony photo! (Say that three times fast.)

The original snapshot was lifted off the website of Senator Olympia Snow (R-Maine) posing here with the Peace Duke.

Yes, what can be more frustrating than a phony photo of a pretend president?

Still I take heart in the fact that:

1. The "Peace Duke" protest and posters were very real indeed.

2. Someone in Latvia will now, undoubtedly, decide to have the t-shirts printed.

3. "Piz-duk", the Russian word for bastard, is a helluva lot of fun to say, and I find that I'm now working it into conversations with people that piss me off.

4. And finally, there is absolutely no proof whatsoever that George isn't wearing "Peace Duke" underwear!
