Remember the "Faces of Coal"? Here's another microstock-related astroturf campaign by dirty energy:

Another dirty energy astroturf campaign

"It looks like the oil lobby's bamboozlement habit is so ingrained that it extends even to cosmetic touches...API -- or whoever prepared the pamphlet on its behalf -- downloaded the stock photo, then altered the heads of two white men to make them appear non-white, it appears...But they did a pretty shoddy job. Astrotruth noticed the maneuver because it looks like API forgot to change the dark-skinned man's hand, which remains white." (TPM)
