Wait - are you saying that Hezbollah doesn't have a big wooden sort of Godzilla? Man...

No, you're thinking of Hamas, but it's a common mistake. Hezbollah has the papier-mâchè Rodan...

You can't see it in the picture, but the guys' words don't match up with the movement of their lips.

Yeah, you have to view the Actual Unretouched CNN Video to see that. Reuters only retouche--, um, provides still photography.

I can't help but see a giant wooden rabbit when I look at this un-retouched photo. And rude French people. I think I've got my stories mixed up. ;-)
