What were they an ad on? TV?

If so then they're fake, the images are 900 pixels tall, the text in the images is 7 pixels tall... the best a TV can do is 480 lines of video, which means if those were images from a commercial the text on those images would be 4 lines tall... unreadable.

If they were an ad for some print media then it may be possible, but I don't know why they'd be 4:3 aspect ratio if that were the case. If they were an ad to appear on mtv.com then I doubt the gubberment would care (the internet is still pretty wide open for advertisers).

Personally, I think it's some idiot trying to make a point at the expense of 9/11 victims and MTV.
