Bag’s Take-Away:
The Revolution is not only televised, it has a soundtrack. Maybe a laugh track, too.
But seriously… I bring you this picture because so many news photo galleries are so infested with play-acting rebels — playing guitar, flashing victory signs, generally yukking it up — you get the feeling sometimes they’re only there for the kill (Gadaffi) or to justify their airfare.
