Not only do Iran's missile pictures reveal a shocking gap in that nation's ability to use the clone tool, our patented Extra-Contrast-O-Vision shows how clumsy they are at comping. Presumably the third missile didn't go off and rather than trying to relight the touchpaper they resorted to Photoshop.
Getty has the original here. Reddit has an interesting discussion on this here. I haven't checked my mail yet, but thanks to everyone who sent this in.

Be afraid. Be very... oh.
here is the original picture from keystone

Iran - Iran test-fired some long-range missiles overnight in a second round of exercises meant to show that the country use Photoshop better than the U.S. or Israel, state television reported Thursday.
The picture, however, shows the lack of judgement and a sense of general laziness of the graphic designers of the Iranian Government.
No officials were able to comment.
Adnan-Hajj-tastic!
So that's where he went to work next....
And if you look closely you can see that the contrail of the third missile was also cloned from the top part of the contrail of the second missile.
At Imaging Insider they're reporting that the press agency retracted its original statement (http://www.imaginginsider.com/?p=77418)
Because 4 missiles are better than 3 when it comes to showing the world the kind of destruction they are capable of. Lame indeed.
Right, be very afarid..
Plz, where do we find the original "disaster" pic?
My guess is that this photoshopping was made by you-know-who to public just to show how threatening iran is to homeland security.
"you-know-who" = Voldemort?

The NY Times has a blog entry about this.

They're menacing to photoshop the west out of the world map!
Their fake rockets will be no match for our fake missle defense shield.
I thought they only tested 9 missiles. Not according to this picture.

Hugs.
@ewan: Ooooh, scaaaary. Yeah, it's obviously photoshopped, and badly done at that. I can't believe that a government actually published this ****.
"Their fake rockets will be no match for our fake missile defense shield."
LOL!
The U.S. will retaliate by layering a homing device onto the missiles, so we can stamp-tool them out of the sky.
Unfortunately, our government photo analysts aren't as perceptive as others. Remember the 'mobile weapons labs?'
One should assume that at least in a serious business like pollitics, someone would watch for stuff like that. And that goes with both the Iranian photoshoppers AND even more with the journalists.
Yeah, I can see someone from our gov't using this photo in front of congress as a reason to go to war with Iran...thanks for posting this up.
there all fake
thats the true one

IRAN FIRIN DAH LAZER!!!
goofy...but it's not like the so-called "west" is any better. the whole anti-iran campaign is one big verbal photoshopping-exercise. and no, i'm neither iranian nor muslim.
I did an analysis of the images in question, and there is both more, and less, to this story than it appears:

YOU MEAN MY GOVERNMENT LIES TO ME?
Well, we all saw that one coming.
Read this thread how the story was exposed
http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/showthread.php?t=137475&page=4
PhotoShop should be put in the ITAR list of banned tech not to be exported to rogue countries like Iran
Idiots. How great is their embarassment?

tsk tsk tsk...
one word
"desperate"
Hey cut 'em some slack. It worked for Hezbollah in the 2006 Lebanon war so naturally they figured "What the heck?". More like WTF.....
well.. now talk about WMDs and not finding them !!
Credit where credit is due:

Poor guy who did that. Now he is in a very special camp.
poor them. wanted show the missiles off but their laziness sure gets back on them.
Alah will down you with thousands swords for mocking with His people.

someone went crazy with it... http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3229/2658316482_848d71ed13_o.jpg
btw. missle defense shield only purpose is to grant the possibility of a 1st strike without repercussion from russias 2nd strike.
Is this what is known as 'Cyber-terrorism'? Not as scary as I thought it would be...
As someone said...
Im not scared of the people that wants a bunch of nukes... Its the person whom only wants one that scares the crap out of me...
good work.. great going.. visit mine…. link1
Well, at least NOW we know how they intend to "erase Israel from the Map"...digitally, with bad cloning. Can we rest easier now?
LOL! I saw this one just by raising the screen of my laptop a little over my eyes.
Now, if only we could Photoshop in a new president...
lol. Our web design teacher made us do a better version of this s an assignment.
lol. My web design teacher told us to create a better one as an assignment.
