Did anybody else catch this? Front page story on CNN… [this image](http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2011/POLITICS/01/16/congress.gun.control/story.sign.gi.jpg) now features a peace sign, but yesterday that exact same image showed it missing a leg (i.e. a Mercedes symbol). I wish I had saved a copy. Anybody else get it?

There were probably a few of those signs and cnn just used a different photo.

[The one I see on Getty Images](http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/108045727/Getty-Images-News) is the peace sign. It could be two different photos.
