As I wandered through the halls of the Cannon House Office Building, a stately Beaux Arts behemoth that sits kitty-corner from the United States Capitol, I kept thinking how strange it was that I'd come to Washington, D.C., of all places, to be lectured about truth -- specifically "truth in advertising."
You may be wondering: Truth? Like, truth in political advertising?

Yes, we need yet another monstrous government agency with all the trimmings like ammo, doing nothing but scrutinizing every image in the public sphere and running it through an army of lawyers. /s

But I worry: Where do we draw the line? Where does "truth" in advertising -- not to mention in photography in general, or life in general -- begin and end? Fedzilla, of course. It has placed itself as the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and end of truth, the First and Last redeemer of all who will bow to its lying wisdom and authority. Wanna be deceived? Beast.gov delivers.
When photoshop is outlawed only outlaws will use photoshop.
Before it's too late,
Mikey ought to have an appropriate image for this thread. :)

I wouldn’t say that missing an entire hand is an excusable part of “trying”.
