Apart from any discussions about the sense or nonsense of the war in Iraq, I find the quoted page remarkably creative. Within not more than four sentences we count nine logos of bigger petrol-companies. Regarding to an entry in a german  internet panel this should have been the cover page of the Daily Mirror in Januar 2003, more precisely on monday, 6th january 2003.  I haven’t seen it then and I am a little wondering about the authenticity of this, as it contains a quite strong political message. So I will sent a mail to the Mirror to ask wether this is a fake or not.

This photo of a manipulated streetsign in the “Große Bergstraße” (in English “Big Mountainstreet”) may serve us as example that everything in life is a question of perspective. Seen in Altona, a district in the center of Hamburg, Germany.
