The "ROMNMNEY" campaign

Evidence surfaces suggesting Iranian missile Photoshoppers could be on Romney campaign payroll

by Jed Lewison

Well this is hilarious: BuzzFeed just caught the Romney campaign exaggerating the size of one its campaign rallies with an altered image. You can view BuzzFeed's full analysis of the image here, but in short the Romney campaign simply duplicated several sections of the crowd, making the audience seem much bigger than it was. And they did a terrible job of it.

For example, take a look at Romney banner hanging in the rafters—if you flip it around, you'll see several letters are duplicated:



[font color="black" size="2" face="face"]Zooming in on and flipping the Romney banner illustrates one of the several alterations to the image. In this case, the letters M and N are repeated, so the banner reads "ROMNMNEY"[/font]

I like that, it's got some potential.

Somebody needs to mix a rap clip of Romney jiving.

That would fucking hilarious.
