finding it on the site if it goes off the first page)

nice article but the site kept trying to load so I think something is not right on that site atm. Post processing gone too far alright!

Excellent article (no problems trying to load it). A very interesting read just to see where certain publishers draw the line.

Some really interesting "representations" of the truth, compare to what the originals were. I'm glad they didn't get away with them.
