Fred Ashford has sent me a humorous photo and clip. As usual, if you like the blog, PLEASE give it a thumbs-up on Stumble at the bottom of the post to let others know it's here.
Most Yemenis struggle to even read Arabic, much less have a clue about English.
So, how do a group of Yemeni protest leaders create most impact with their signs by having the standard "Death To Americans"(etc.) slogans printed in English?
Answer: They simply hire an English-speaking civilian to translate and write their statements into English.
Unfortunately, in this case, they were unaware that the "civilian" insurance company employee hired for the job was a retired US Army Sergeant! Obviously, pictures of this protest rally never made their way to Arab TV networks, but the results were PRICELESS!

If that isn't a photoshop job then that's pretty hilarious. "Of course 'we're idiots' means 'death to America'. Would I lie to you?" lol
Of course, this never actually happened - it's just a made-up right wing propaganda poster to show 'them stupid towel heads'.
Or a joke, if you prefer to see it as that.
