Okay, the 3rd anniversary of the Iraq War is a grave and solemn occasion, whether you’re a diehard supporter or opponent.

But allow me this moment of levity.

I’ve cropped this from this page on the CNN website. But the image of a young protestor in London is on various websites around the world reporting on the global protests of the third anniversary of the war. Drudge even has it up on the front page.

But look closely at the symbol on her face. Is it peace she’s supporting? Or is this just some crafty Mercedes-Benz product placement?
