Eagle-eyed observers of how North Korea's media covered Kim Jong Il's funeral believe they have been up to their old tricks - with a spot of Photoshopping. A seemingly doctored photograph has emerged of a soldier, who appears to be well over 8ft tall, in the back row of one block of mourners. The image was captured as the funeral procession passed near the Kumsusan Memorial Palace in the capital Pyongyang. Official news agency KCNA took the photo, and the giant soldier appears to be shown from several different angles. This has led some to say that the photo has not be manipulated. Others believe it could be 7ft 8in tall North Korean basketball star Ri Myung Hun, dubbed Michael Ri for his prowess on the court. The discovery of the giant follows evidence yesterday showing how the scores of wailing mourners were not the only well-choreographed aspect at the memorial service. Two comparison photos showed how a camera crew filming the sombre ceremony were apparently erased from history after being digitally removed from the picture.

Here is one of the pics from the source. But what would be the point of editing a tall dude in? To scare us? I think it is real.
