This would have been after Lennon said "We're bigger than Jesus" back in the 60's... Hmm.. I just read the OP's article link and see that my photo image is there too!  Edit: This thread for this contest back in 2003 was on fark.com. Here's a link to that thread, where I believe a lot of these images were taken from. http://www.fark.com/comments/485972/Theme-What-if-Fox-News-were-around-during-other-historical-events-Link-goes-to-a-representative-screencap |

I wonder if it one of the reasons Fox went after their site was that original Fox News parody photohacking thread back in 2003! http://gawker.com/#!290286/exclusive/fark-founder-accuses-fox-newsman-of-hackingAnother article where Fark.com founder Drew Curtis wrote a book going after corporate media... http://www.slate.com/id/2175244/ |

| 7. This is actually pretty tame compared to some of the moments they could be commenting on. |

Hell they'd have been talking about Hilter's great accomplishment in stamping out the dirty communists and union thugs.
Fox would've cheered Benito and Der Fuhrer on. Yeah, I said it. Someone had to. :P
