Syrian Protest

I got this via email today. I have no idea if it's true or another email legend. Anyone else know?

How does a group of Syrian protest leaders create the most impact with their signs by having the standard "Death To  Americans" slogans printed in English?

Answer: They simply hire an English-speaking civilian to translate and write their statements in English.

Unfortunately, they were unaware the "civilian" insurance company employee hired for the job was a retired US Army sergeant. Obviously, pictures of the protest rally never made their way through the Arab TV network, but the results were "Priceless".

I have no direct knowledge, but both the appearance and the whole context of the thing shout Photoshop to me.

fake.

Photoshopped, definitely. The fonts on the signs are entirely too crisp, clean, and neat to have been handwritten by somebody who doesn't even have English as a third or fourth language.

Can we say Photoshop?

Hey - Did you read this before you posted a reply? The signs were made by a former US Army Sgt. Probably from a computer so, duh! yeah they'll look like a Photoshop sign.
