That's from 2004. Full article here - http://www.networkworld.com/columnists/2004/062804gearhead.html.

And, btw, just in case people still have doubts about the SoL in the skyline, here's a zoomed-in pic -

Lols, looks sorta like a smiling face. But I do see a crown, not exactly sure if it's the SoL, though. But I do see where you're coming from. I would think that was the SoL at first glance.

 		It is a little blurry and badly drawn, but that's the general artistic style of skyline. I can see the arm, torch and dress of SoL, but I guess it's up to interpretation. Still, interpretation's not going to help if it is actually Lady Liberty and is an intended clue.

for those of you who dont see it ive circled and drawn it if that helps


I don't think there's a monster there. What I see is that Dumbo Octopus ejecting ink. But I couldn't find out if that kind of octopus has that ability. And I don't see anyone talking about the very clear 2 drawed over that ink.

I think you've overreached there...it doesn't fit into the IG scenario, it doesn't make sense (I like the T.I.D.O Oceans, NOT T.I.D.O. Major Cities), and frankly, it really doesn't look like Lady Liberty.

$.02

 		Everything thats known is in this thread.

But to save you having to re-read it:

It was done by an unknown organization, who apparently don't like tagruato because it's destroying our oceans.

Thanks, I read the first page then saw that there was 28 more. Is that all we found out so far? Just that a rouge group, or person is doing this?

 		Yup.

Some 'hidden' stuff was found in the picture that was left, which ended up just spelling TIDOO (Tagruato is destroying our oceans) but thats about it.

I think it looks like a badly-drawn version of her, and I'm not backing down from that. Could it possibly just be a symbol? Because everyone's going on about the T.I.D.O. Major Cities not 'making sense' when there is clearly a cityscape in the background, and it fits in with the relatively crude drawing style of the other pics. Perhaps it is just a symbol of a metropolis being collateral damage, as when you think metropolis, what do you think? New York.

$.02+.

Except of course, the SoL is not in the skyline of New York City, it's off on a man-made island - looking at the skyline, not a part of it. I don't buy it.
I think the viewer has to imagine themselves inside the Statue of Liberty with Ganu.
From the crown you can see the city's edge. I think whoever hacked the Tagruato site is showing us a prophecy of things to come, what with the Bold Futura deep sea rig drilling off the north eastern coast of the U.S. of A.

If it was so clearly drawn, why are people having to trace lines to define it and explain in such great depth what's there?

If Ganu was looking out of the destroyed city from the SoL's head, he'd be looking down Broadway. Remember that little minor scene in the teaser and trailer? Very Happy

Environmentalists decrying destruction of oceans are not drawing pictures of destroyed cities. Environmentalists usually aren't very fond of cities, because they are generally massive generators of pollution and waste. Why would someone trying to protest the destruction of the oceans post a picture of the destruction of a city? That's like making a gun control poster with a woman shooting a home invader.
Non sequitur.

I've had another look and I guess in some way it does look like a swamp, so I'll subside this argument. But if it does turn out to be Lady Liberty and cityscape, you guys are going to be getting one hell of an "I told you so" PM from me, Wink . To quote Kiefer Sutherland in The Sentinel (roughly) - "The problem with gut feelings is that everything you see you manipulate to meet your gut feeling".

 		If it is the SoL I will rip out my eyes, as obviously I cant trust them any more.
