What is the Netscape pic that CNN is whining about?

[treefrogjohn]

See http://www.cnn.com. They have a link just above the news on the right that talks about an insulting photo of * and Laura which is apparently circulating on the internet.

4. It was the name of the picture...

Unfortunately it's been moved :(

It was a picture of the chimp...and someone found an interesting graphic (at least for a CNN site!!!). It was called "Moron.gif".

At least I think that's what you're talking about :)

Unless I'm just not seeing it.

6. The pic is normal

But the name of the pic was originally "asshole.jpg".

Somebody over there spotted it and changed it to "bush.jpg"

12. photo originally was slugged a--hole.jpg

As other folks have said, on Netscape-CNN, a photo of bush & wife was slugged as 'a--hole'

Here's an explanatory article:

16. This from the WND article

"A junior employee at Netscape identified two election photos with image tags that used inappropriate, disparaging terms," Weinstein told WorldNetDaily. "As soon as the situation was discovered, it was immediately corrected, and the employee has been terminated."

We should take up a collection for that 'junior employee' as a token of our gratitude for his bravery.

warning: posting the link here, but the picture is made up of small graphic pictures that may be offensive to some
