I didn’t know he was [this](http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2005240132,00.html) evil!

That has to be the most evil picture of a human being I’ve ever seen!

Is this image doctored? Because previous images of Roy Whiting have shown a man who one would only be vaguelly suspicious about. But this image shouts in a voice that can be heard around the world “This man is clearly an evil SOB”  
I don’t mean to make light of the murder of an innocent child. I deplore this man. But I couldn’t help thinking, when I first saw this in the Sun newspaper, “Is this image doctored?”

P.s. if the link doesn’t work. Please accept my apologies and let me know… I will host the image myself if this is the case.

OH MY GOD!!! AAAAAHHHH!!!

:eek:  
Jesus, that’s scary. But um, what is “gross sexual imposition?” Is a serious offense, or one of the milder ones (exposing oneself, for example)?

He looks like a cross between Ozzy Osbourne and Neil from _The Young Ones._  
Which is to say mentally unhinged, which is almost certainly the case.  
Eww.

The Cafe Society forum is for discussion about arts and entertainment. I suppose the question of doctored or poor photography is vaguely related to arts, but I think this thread will be happier in MPSIM.

Here’s another image.

[![](http://news.bbc.co.uk/olmedia/1705000/images/_1708141_whiting.300.jpg) ](http://news.bbc.co.uk/olmedia/1705000/images/_1708141_whiting.300.jpg)

If the OP photo **is** doctored, then it’s pretty subtle.

Basically, he really does seem to look that way.

Best arguement I’ve ever seen for the existance of ghouls & zombies.

What a horrible creature. There’s a good example of one’s looks reflecting their personality - too bad we can’t all be like that. It’d be a lot easier to pick out the good people from the bad.

They are skilled, but WHY do this? Why not show older? Or skinnier?

This just dosn’t sit right with me. Seems hurtful. ☹
