Description
So I was out in Hillsbrad farming for herbs on my druid to powerlevel alchemy on another toon when I was flying over one of the Horde towns nearby and noticed the cool foggy effects it had. I wanted to get a closer look, just kinda swoop in and scan over the place real quick before I went back to my herbing route, when I noticed these...trees...that didn't quite belong with the rest of the scence on the hill overlooking the town. So I fly over, curious as to what these cardboard cut outs were doing there and literally just /facepalmed at my screen when I took in the whole sight.

All along the edge of the cliff are these alliance SI:7 assassins peering through their telescopes down at the Horde town. I thought that was neat at first...some may think its corny how Blizzard is using some certain emote animations and just freezing the NPCs in place to make them look like their doing something else completely...like the one I see a lot are NPCs frozen in the middle of doing /blush to make it look like their hands are tied behind their backs, but I think it clever actually. Hell, thats what we photomanipulation artists do. But this...this just seemed super lazy and just plain silly looking to me. These NPCs are trying to look through telescopes with their FOREHEADS.

On top of that they're tyring to hide this dwarven tank behind these cardboard trees. And who's the main figure down in that town below? High Warlord Cromush...yeah...you're not fooling anyone here Alliance. In fact, you are just making us look bad. Its times like these I really wish I stayed Horde. I like Alliance, but man...

Total time to throw this together: 10 minutes (aka excuse the crappy editing in some parts )
