Ceasefire In Middle East Blamed For Disney Store Plummeting Sales

Reuters photographer Sharif Karim’s checklist before heading off to take a few snaps in Beirut.
Camera – Check
Film – Check
Food and Water – Check
Extra Flash Batteries – Check
Bag full of stuffed toys to stage photos – Check

It’s a few days old, but for posterity I thought I would post these lovely heartwrenching images all taken by the same photographer, Sharif Karim, all with pristine and clean children’s toys. I have included a link and the original text that came with the image.

    Pretty pathetic, isn’t it? The sad part is the sheer volume of people who AREN’T outraged by this kind of nonsense.
