Photoshopping Fatima

You'll recall that Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs exposed what he calls the Reuters "fauxtography scandal", where Reuters showed doctored photos of the destruction in Lebanon in order to make Israel look worse. The same woman appeared over and over in some of their pictures.

Since then, some talented bloggers have had a field day creating their own Fatima Photos on the order of "Where's Waldo?"
Check out Kesher Talk who says that "Flat Fatima™ is becoming the Zelig of her ethnic group", appearing in famous scenes throughout history.

But I'm sure that not even Reuters can produce creative and clever photos like those shown at The People's Cube These are just hilarious, and I'm sure the bloggers are already producing new pictures as we speak. (If I were a Photoshopper, I'd love to show Fatima at Kent State; and Fatima as Monica Lewinsky in the crowd shaking hands with Bill Clinton!)

Any other ideas?
