# I watched a spanish movie a while ago
about some crazy mafia-types that would read newspapers and find the luckiest people on earth, then make them do things like run blindfolded through a forest without hitting any trees, or russian roulette with five bullets in a barrel, and if they passed every test someone would take a photo of them and steal their luck.

The big boss guy at the end of the movie had a bunch of filing cabinets full of these photos.

English summary: the owner of the famous Atomium in Brussels has some (stupidly) strict rules for the use of images of the atomium in the 50th year celebration of the expo.
Celebrating without using the famous building isn't really an option, so the organisation decided to hold a photoshop contest, asking people to erase all the atomiae from family snapshots and sending them in.

# I'm too close to bedtime to start playing with babelfish
but this sounds like a great idea. France should have some sort of government service that photoshops out any nighttime eiffel tower photos.
