Digital Revisionism

This is amazing to me.

THE classic Beatles' Abbey Road album cover showing the band on a zebra crossing has been altered - to remove the cigarette in Paul McCartney's hand. The original image shows a barefoot Macca third in line holding his ciggie. The 1969 photo has been a poster best-seller since it was shot near Abbey Road studios in North London, where the Fab Four recorded most of their music. But companies including US giant Allposters asked for the cigarette to be removed by computer wizardry to make it more politically correct.
