Okay, this is just wierd.

I just saw a news picture of the press conference where they announced Z's death.

They have a photo of him dead, so people will know it's true. Fine.

The photo is enlarged. No problem, you want folks to see it.

The photo... is matted and framed in a large, museum quality, gilt frame.

Here's what that means. Someone staff member got told "I need you to take this shot, have it matted and framed. Something nice, tasteful. I'm think maybe a gold three tired molding for the frame. Nothing too grand, but not some cheap ass black metal frame, either."

Is this just some sort of run of the mill military oddness? Do they use a lot of big ass gold frames in their briefings, or just when somebody got killed, or only when a big deal terrorist leader gets killed? Is their some psy opps general out their saying "For this to have the most weighty propeganda effect, the corpse photo must be dispalyed in an expensive art frame."

Put THAT on ebay and I'd bid on it. What an oddity. I bet the on lie casino that bought Shatners kidney stone and the Virgin Mary grilled cheese sandwhich would pay big bucks for it.
