And arz, being that you seem familiar with copyright law, you're aware of the parody exception, I'm sure. Meaning that you can ask nicely to have the modified image removed, but you have no legal basis to do so.

I just wanted to point that out for those that weren't aware.

(I didn't see it, but I've seen the "pull my finger" gag about a million times, so whatever. I guess maybe some of my photos I wouldn't want being messed with, but I wouldn't post them if that were the case. I think you post good images, so I encourage you to keep posting; I don't have the time or the interest to muck with them, but obviously others do. I'd suggest you just lighten up, dude. No one thinks your stuff sucks - they just see an opportunity to be funny with it at times. I look at it as adding value to your photo, albeit in a different way. So whereas your picture of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel is awesome and inspiring in an art sense, it can also be funny as well. See, to me, that's a bonus.)
