Since Jonah uses both conflicting links as citations it would seem he loses some credibility.
But since stlnative has proven over and over that these machines have the capacity to print such a large banner in minutes, and that it's established it was in Beirut and not Qana, it's entirely possible.
I choose to leave the conspiracy theories to the moonbats.
Lebanese website blames the Hizbos:

I found this nice little website while stumbling around the web. These people are just stupid with a capital S.

Also you notice the man in the helmet and vest doing most of the body display. Fewer to know the state of the bodies and comment on that, (Why are they not crushed and bloody?).
They could have planned, in general, a Qana incident without picking a particular building. They are Shooting Rockets in the area and the Israelis cream a building, which does not fall. Instead of being alarmed they use the opportunity to load bodies, alive or dead, into the place and blow it up.
Then the photo op, banner and all the rest or other possible variation.
At the sign company I worked at we produced large format inkjet banners for billboards and other specialty signage. I'm talking 10'-20' x whatever roll length. The banners are printed on Flexface (reinforced vinyl). Which, from far away looks thinner and more supple than it really is. But, to support a banner of that size, the material needs to be very strong. A billboard company would stock the flexface and could presumably have much of the graphics done ahead of time, but there is still the issue of what you did in advance. I mean, are you "planning" on an incident where heavy civilian casualties give you an opportunity like this?
as far as who paid for it it's irrelevant. And Hezbollah probably has enough in their budget.
Anytime :)
Hezbolla knows, they fire rockets, Israelis target the location. Not too difficult to purposefully launch from a spot and be ready to exploit the results.
I also read the mass grave burial for the victims there was mention of people covering their mouths/noses because of the stench of the dead. Would recently dead (burial next day) be stinking already? Sorry to be gruesome.
No it would not. Another item that is not reasonable.
Of course many of them have no problem believing that George Bush and the CIA delibertly planned and executed the 9/11 attacks so Halliburton could make more money - but they have trouble believing that an avowed terrorist group could have staged this????
Do they have the big group dance before or after blowing up?
I found this...

Banner Printing Guidelines
Banners have file different file preparation guidelines than offset printing. Please follow these steps when you are setting up your document to print a banner.
1. Set your document size including bleed
Scale your file to 12 to 1, so that 1 inch equals 1 foot. (1"=1') and add .125” bleed on each side. Thus a 4' x 6' banner would be submitted at 4.25" x 6.25"
2. Establish the safety area
Do not place important elements too close to the trim line as they could be trimmed off or sewn through during finishing. It is best to keep key elements of your banner .125” inside the edge.
If your banner uses pole pockets, put all text and design elements at least .33" inside of the cut line or they may be sewn through.
3. Choose your resolution
The required resolution for printing vinyl banners depends on viewing distance.
From five feet or less, submit at 1200 dpi
From five feet or more, submit at 900 dpi
From 10 feet or more submit at 600 dpi
From 50 feet or more, submit at 300 dpi
For example, banner that is 10’ x 20’ and viewed from 10 feet away must be printed as a 10" x 20" file at 600 DPI, or a total of 6,000 x 12,000 pixels. The same vinyl banner for viewing from 5 feet should be printed at 1200 dpi, or a total of 12,000 x 24,000 pixels for a 10" x 20" file.
Technical Name for this type of banner is:
Digital Vinyl Banner
Matte PVC vinyl banner material is great for indoor or outdoor use. Mesh vinyl is particularly well suited to outdoor use with very large banners or windy conditions
It doesn't really work that way.
Also, the print speeds given are going to be under ideal conditions.
These are very large high-res images that are ripped to the printer. Ripping a large file takes time above and beyond the print time.
That said, the banner is displayed near where it was printed so that saves time. The graphics layout can be done quickly but still takes time. But from what I understand there was a laspe of hours between the actual bombing and when the rescuers (and media attention) arrived on the scene. In fact on Fox there was some discussion of the big delay in the rescue efforts.
those raids on the UN building were a pr stunts also
Thanks, I didn't know when the first Qana incident was. (I was in a fugue state for most of the Clinton years, couldn't bear to watch until the unavoidable Lewinsky mess began.)
Now that I look closer, all the Arabic font on that banner looks too even, considering the vertical wrinkle in the banner itself. There isn't any distortion to the s in "Rice," the last letter just before the exclamation points.
The banner could have been produced in the time frame given, with a certain degree of readiness (an open slot in your production schedule for starters). As I said in a previous post, Hezbolla knows their launchers will be targeted. So launch from where you want an Israeli airstrike and voila, civilian casualties to exploit. Whether dead were brought from another location, or women and children purposefully not evacuated is another matter.
