A bit too far...

[SandmanTR]

Removing a cigar from a Sir Winston photo is like designing a car without wheels. It's just doesn't look right...

...what the heck would posses someone to do such a thing? The guy has a freaking cigar size named after him for Petes sake. What's this world coming to???

Thats sacrilegious

Re-writing history..........this should not happen.

I guess its just part of the nanny state. The took the corncob pipe away from Frosty the Snowman too.

Welcome to the Nanny State/Country/Government/etc.

THAT is truly a disgrace and a real lack of respect for one

of the greatest name and man in History .

I second that emotion!

Churchill is rolling in grave (probably trying to find that cigar he hid in the lining of the casket).

[mkz]

A freaking disgrace!!!

[sloth]

Reading the article i'm not seeing any nanny state nonsense... just someone got a little over zealous with photoshop.

[MIKA27]

I wonder why they did this as the article does not state a reason.

Its also a pretty bad job at photoshopping BTW.

[kafreeman]

The blurred the hell out of it to make it less noticeable.

What a disgrace.

He looks badass with that cigar. The edited picture just gives him a stupid smirk.

To me, without the cigar, it looks like he suffered a mild stroke.

This is exactly what Josef Stalin used to do. He was a Photoshop pioneer. Interesting to see the Brits acting by his example.

[GoSteelers]

That is not Sir Winston Churchill it is Benny Hill

[finecigar]

What a disgrace. I am so shocked by this- would never think it even posed a threat. A cigar is his symbol, why the static?

It is like artificially changing the history that was meant to stay.

[Puros Y Vino]

I sense a trend. Next up. All photos of Hitler will have his mustache removed and the swastikas on his uniform will be replaced with Hello Kitty buttons. (hmmm..I just might fire up Photoshop when I get home and try it.)

Next:

Marylin Monroe will be ***-less.

Jesus will be clean shaven and with a flattop

Budda will be skinny

Allah will be dating the Virgin Mary

Limitless changes...........
