Ulgh, I made this long post and something went wrong.. All I'll repeat is this: I spend a ridiculous amount of time looking for said picture of dictator. My friend asked me what I was up to and I responded that I was "Looking for a picture of a Romanian dictator." Things that take too much energy to explain....

I think this i still true, but if you scroll really far down on that Hollywood Investigator link, you should find a picture of the dictator. I'm happy that you tried to look for it though. ♥

That was really neat of you to go in and do the comparison of the pictures. Admittedly CNN was the only one I looked at but the fox news one made me laugh (is that wrong? It was one of those "oh my that is distasteful..... OF COURSE IT WAS FOX NEWS ha.").

As far as the video... Anuj went looking for it (he did the same thing when Steve Irwin died. I thought it was a little morbid, but to each his own) and found a video of it on break.com... I watched through my fingers everything but the actual drop and though I thought it was really strange that it would be on break.com (which is along the vein of collegehumor and ebaumsworld if you have never been to it before), it looked legitimate and I am pretty gullible.

sadly I watched it online...and yeah, I'm not even going to comment with my hippie views of all this. But way to go FOX, ever keeping with your reputation.
