>>Thanks for the explanation Tracy. Can you imagine that such a photo can be abused by people who want to 'prove' that the USA is a hypocritical society?! Due to the internet, photos and stories from long, long time ago get revived while the new people do not know the true story behind things.

>I'm curious: how did you come across it? (We have to admit that it wasn't that long ago that we actually had similar pictures after Hurricane Katrina only without the billboard for contrast)
I'm quite active on a Dutch weblog. Someone over there showed the picture and wondered who'd made it and whether or not it was photoshopped. Also he was wondering about the car. He thinks it is a Fiat and a very small car. He thought it strange that such a billboard uses a small car. (It's only now that Americans begin to show interest in small (Fiat) cars.
