Think before you forward

I received an email forward recently that baffled me.

The email read:

Sign along the road in northern Kenya near the Saudi-Arabian border!!

First, I realize that not everyone does well with geography, but not only does Kenya not border Saudi Arabia, they aren't even on the same continent!!

Second, if you know anything about Kenya, you'd know that their major languages are English and Swahili. This appears to be Arabic script. I'm assuming the person who put this together correlates everything Arabic with Islam, Islam with Obama, and probably a little terrorism connection sprinkled in somewhere. Because Obama is trying to terrorize our nation, right?

Not that I needed to know, but I decided to look this up online, curious to know more about this epic failure being perpetrated as fact. I was able to find the original picture - taken in Oman - that was clearly photoshopped:


Partisan ignorance is alive and well...
