Welcome to /c/[email protected] , where fake history is made. Find a historically significant photo, come up with a fake history title, post it, laugh.

The name is a reference to the fact that the pictures should be worth marveling at. This is NOT a place for hardcore pornography. Tasteful nudity is fine as long as it fits within the context of the post (please mark it as NSFW).

(Actual photo context: Iraqi journalist, Muntadhar al-Zaidi, threw his shoe in a sign of extreme disrespect at George yelling "this is a farewell kiss from the Iraqi people, dog."

The greeting as a liberator bit is a callback to Dick Cheney's infamous "my belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators.")
