The now famous Diana in death picture on various web sites has me asking
the questions

Why are all the people around helping her are wearing yellow vests when the
more official photos of the crash scene and TV pictures have them wearing
orange.

The photo seems to show the roof missing totally but the roof appears when
the car is being towed away.

Perhaps the photo is just a good demostration of what a good product Adobe
Photoshop is!

I heard the rescuers cut off the car's roof to get to Di, and
then rested the roof on top of the car when they hauled it away.
If you look at the pictures which aren't suspect, you can see that
the corners of the roof had been cut.

So far I have looked at 2 death pictures and they are both fakes, and both
horrible. She was not injured in the face. Could the hoaxers at least get
that right? Maybe not, because the face has to be mutilated for you to try
to fool people into thinking it's her. I am not afraid to look at a
picture of her, since she was not yet dead in the car, though I do not
want to see such a picture. Now that I've been sickened by two grisly
pictures that were not her I am not going to look again.

Let me remind you. The French doctor who first got there said she had no
head or face injury but just a spot of blood under her eye. "Sources" who
saw her in the coffin said she looked beautiful. Most injuries were
internal. So give it up with the horror crash pictures.

The picture was published today in France-Soir. It has been
slammed as a fake by experts for the same reasons I gave
yesterday. The rescuers are wearing British Police uniforms.

Heard on the news today that it is indeed a fake. Yes the reflective
jackets worn by the rescue workers are the wrong color, AND the phone
number in the backround for rescue....is not a French number!!!!

Nice fake job though!!!!

I bet you're disappointed about that aren't you? Chin up, you
could always move on over to alt.binaries.pictures.grotesque
where you'll find hundreds of appetizers to drool over.

Her eye was found under the dash and it was the drunk's blood.
The eye had been propelled there by the force of the third toe
on Dodo's left foot bursting through the socket from within.

> "Sources" who saw her in the coffin said she looked beautiful.

French perverts are not usually considered reliable sources.

I was think of organizing an offical a.c.p-d Picture Judging Panel.
Anyone interested? Here are my votes (out of six):


Diana in The Open Car: 4.6
The MI5 Suspects Line Up: 5.7
Diana's Bloody Face: 3.5
Diana Taking It Up The Ass: 5.9
Drinking and Driving Wrecks Lives: 5.6
Bild's First Photo: 1.0
Diana: A Last Farewell 0.0

Cut out the form below and cast your vote by reply. I will maintain a
list of all votes so that we can instantly judge upon the validity of
all new pictures that might appear. Even though this isn't a binary
group, so all pictures should be submitted as links really.

The car in the pic is obviously not a Merc, and is completey
different to Di's. I just put this image together for comparison...

First, I am not afraid to look at a picture of Diana in the car wreck,

all things appear. It was friends and a doctor who are the sources quoted
as saying she was not disfigured.

I am offended by jokesters putting gruesome car wreck victims on the
internet and deliberately misidentifying them. That is why I won't look at
any posted pictures anymore.

Second, don't put everyone together in the category of drooling
rubberneckers. I met Diana and she wrote to my daughter. Her death was a
personal tragedy for my family.

It's mutual. I feel the same way about people who are desperately
trying to find that one last picture of Diana to drool over. It's
people like you who worshipped her image via the medium of the dime
magazine that contributed to her death. I am totally blameless here
because I always loathed her and avoided her. Tell a lie, I quoted
the word "Squidgy" in my BSc dissertation which was about cryptography
so I do have an academic track record of ripping the piss out of her
as well. I got a first for it too.

> I am going to answer it rather than let you think you are in any way

Correct? What about, her eye being found under the dash or Dodo's foot
sticking *out* of her face? OK, correct me on that if you think it'll
do any good.

...no-one can see you do it. I bet you'll be licking your lips
and salivating profusely when you finally see it won't you? Why
don't you just buy yourself a real pizza instead? Are you on a
diet?

Well they would wouldn't they? Friends always say "Oh she never felt
a thing. It was quick and painless......" and everyone knows that the
Doctors are all illuminati puppets so I wouldn't pay any attention to
what they say.


> I am offended by jokesters putting gruesome car wreck victims on the

Don't look at them then. Personally I have found them highly
amusing piss-takes out of people like you. The one that shows
a playful Lady Di getting nine inches of prime tubesteak rammed
up her Gary Glitter is utterly superb. It is *everythng* that
the Internet is about and shows what amazing talent there is
to be found amongst what Diana would have called the "common"
people. And you won't be seeing _that_ picture in France-Soir
either.

> That is why I won't look at any posted pictures anymore.

I see. You're sick and tired of all these fake death pictures so you've
decided to look elsewhere for the really bloody ones. Ghoul.

Yeah, right. That's why you're so desperate to see pictures of her
expelling her final breath isn't it? What do you want to do, identify
her? Or are you planning to print it out and give it to your kid as
a memento?

Of course it's a fake, I knew it from the moment I saw it
(there is *no way* the car in the pic is a Merc).

Anyway, come over to alt.binaries.pictures.grotesque where our
friend Rusty (the guy who made it) will openly admit it.

He was sick of all the people saying "please post the Di pics".

The title of his post was "You wanted it, you got it!"...

It does say 999, but the picture has been flipped, otherwise 'Diana'
wouls have appeared in the wrong position in the car.

It was originally MVA2, I believe, and was quickly made the "official
unofficial princess Diana crash picture" by a.b.p.g.
