It would have been too late, anyway, by some accounts.

BUT.  The photo (and the Pulitzer it won) certainly brought attention to the situation in Sudan.  Now everything in East Africa is A-OK!

She made it through the day, though I haven't seen any reports of how she fared after that.

Yeah, too bad they don't have any oil to inspire us to bring them democracy for humanitarian purposes.
  

Turdbin, keep changing the DDO rules, because McDonalds sold over 200 billion hamburgers by changing the recipe for their Special Sauce every couple of months to keep interest up.

I may actually be confusing a plot point in the novel House of Leaves with the actual events that inspired it.

Ah well.  Legends start as stories, anyway.

Oh, this has the potential to get ugly. Are they going to add a way to see what tome you have if you are below level? How about art work, will the new and old tomes look identical on the Auction House?

I love the thought that the tomes will finally work like they do in a TR, but WTF, make it retroactive to prevent screwing people over. They've already proven they can do it, the only thing lacking is sufficient regard for their customers' pain to bother doing so.


This.

Also, what in god's name is Turbine thinking with the price increase?

Stark - I'm normally a fan but using that picture to make a point about a video game was in poor taste.

You are absolutely right.

But it started a conversation (albeit brief) about the photo, so it wasn't completely in vain.
