So, here is an odd and very fresh story (I just spoke to
Declan at Wired and he will most probably write something
about it).
Reuters picture of pro-taliban rallies in Bangladesh:

Check the picture by the ear of Osama Bin Laden on the
poster. Yes, it is indeed Bert of Sesame Street.
Today this picture was published in Swedens leading tabloid
(removed from the online edition after a few hours):

Check by the ear again.
Of course I know about the Evil Bert web site ( http://www.fractalcow.com/
bert/bert.htm ), but this is something
else.
This seems to be actual footage of the rallies.
It looks like whoever made the poster included the picture of
Usama Bin Laden and Bert of Sesame Street found at the <
following URL:

So this is what copyright infringement on the Internet will
lead to in practice .-D
Amazing - isn't it!?
