Government are also pretty adept at using media imagery to make their points. An early example of this was a photograph of St Paul's cathedral during the blitz, which a quick google search turns up <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:StPaulBlitz.jpg">on Wikipedia</a> and elsewhere.

Heck, give me 4 minutes and I can put dinosaurs on top of the buildings too! Can I get a job at Reuters now? That is pretty pathetic. I think I could do better with about 2 minutes of effort.
