    LIES!!


    ...sorry, *cough*

    A lot of the people who read the Sun seriously and take them at their word probably wont notice the ctrl+c, ctrl+v.

    This is the original picture.
    The one in the paper has the top third or so tacked on to the bottom.

    Don't see why they'd bother, they could have just got a bigger, better picture that shows more of the site :confused:
