Weird, totally weird.
We all know that Marie Colvin, who was killed at the age of 56, wore an eye patch because of an injury sustained ten years ago, when she was 46. Here's a photo of her grieving mother from today's Evening Standard, holding a picture of her daughter.
A cursory glance tells us that this is a picture of a much younger Marie Colvin pre-injury on which somebody has drawn the eyepatch with a black felt tip pen:
This picture has been used elsewhere in the past couple of days, e.g. here and there's a close up of it here:
What on earth were they thinking?

On closer inspection, however, two things are apparent to me. One is that the woman in the picture could easily be 46 and the other is that whover did the forgery took the trouble to highlight the skin ever so slightly below both eyepatch and cord to give the impression of them pushing into the skin at that point. Or alternatively, it's a genuine picture.
Airbrushed pix! Shock horror!
Think of all those impressionable young women who will now immediately gouge out one eye so they can wear an patch!
