Eerie Obama Photo At MSNBC.COM Taken Down

While surfing around the net, reading up on the election coverage by the Big Media, I happened to come across a rather startling image posted to MSNBC.com.

The Image shows Obama waving to his supporters, presumably at his acceptance speech. The image is focused on Obama and in the distance behind him, out of focus, are one of the “jumbotron” type TV monitors that were at the event.

In the monitor it looks eerily as if Obama has a bullet wound to his head with blood streaking down the side of his face.

Posted below is the un-retouched photo snapped from the web page, which has since been taken down from the site. I really can’t explain what would cause this as it looks like there’s nothing between him and the camera for the jumbotron.

I have also included the web page, taken using the FireShot Firefox plugin:

For those of you who are superstitious, don’t fret, God forbid anything happen to our next President.

If anyone has any idea what could cause this anomaly please comment.

EDIT 11/6/08 3:45p:
I was just shown a web page at Reuters where it seems that the photo originated from.

Here’s the photo at Reuters, on the left at the bottom of the screen capture:

And here’s a popup when you click on the photo:

Until the above page is taken down, here’s a direct link to it:
