this is an awesome story. apparently pedos do this to mask their image in pics all the time...hoping a bunch of those fuckers are poopin their pants right now!

apparently this can be done right in photoshop:

"The technique is very simple. In Photoshop, make a round marquee centered on the centerpoint of the twirled image, then full negative setting on the twirl filter. I was able to download a larger image from the Interpol site and it worked perfectly."
