  •  No, that would not be fine (none / 0)

    If those schools did that and it was misleading, then it was wrong.  But what is misleading about the image from this ad?  Those soldiers really were there.  

    If there were only 3 soldiers at the rally and they photoshopped them around to look like 300, that would be wrong.  But no misrepresentation is taking place here.  The podium was removed to make it look better, not to hide anything.

    •  That seems about right (none / 0)

      If there were only 3 soldiers at the rally and they photoshopped them around to look like 300

      Sure looks like that was what they were trying to do. Besides, if you don't like the footage you have, you get new footage. You don't go messing with it. It's not like they don't have millions of hours of tape they can use, shot from a bajillion different angles. But no. They chose to doctor this shot because they didn't think anybody would notice.

      Well, welcome to the Brave New World, boys and girls. People will notice. And people do care.
