All human suffering is sad, particularly when it's caused by others. But your arrangement of the photos is crude, cheap propaganda.

~I need some confusion cleared up; Is this supposed to be Propaganda to get anti-War Instagram users on Board FOR a War in Syria OR is Gawker trying to educate Instagram users on the happenings in Syria? I'm not really a big fan of that *Hey look I'm an amazing photographer because I added a filter* Application. I can confidently say the majority of my friends who use Instagram obsessively, could not even locate Syria on a Map. >_>

Gawker is declaring war on Instagram. It means that.

I love this as much as Cord's simple piece about Vice and Dennis Rodman in North Korea. If you don't remember, here.

Fuck Assad, fuck his wife.

Why is there a Turkish flag? What does this have to do with the civil war in Syria?

This is an AP photo, and its caption reads: "Syrians, who fled their homes due to fighting between the Syrian army and the rebels, shout slogans as they march toward the Turkish side of the border, during a protest asking the Turkish government to let them enter to their refugee camps, at the Bab Al-Salameh border crossing, near the Syrian town of Azaz, Tuesday, Aug. 28, 2012.
