The Billboard isn't a photoshop, it was a publicity stunt for the film.
Reality check: If the north pole should melt, how much would the water level rise? Hint
Of course steam locomotives handled high water better than modern Diesel electric ones do. geira, actually the melting of the ice cap at the NORTH pole wouldn't raise sea level at all. Floating ice melting doesn't affect water level. It's the melting of the ice at the SOUTH pole and Greenland that would raise sea levels.
the lady soup picture is a shoop.
The guy on the public phone is in malaysia. Although, I wonder if the phone actually even works when it's not flooded since maintenance are so bad, most of it are not in working order.
Amost everybody uses mobile phone these days.
I don't see Sean Penn anywhere in those pictures in the mid-west. Very odd. Do you think that Bush bombed the levees in those towns? I think this should be looked into immediately.
One of those "China floods" pictures is not from China. The man trying to make a phone call from the blue phone booth flooded up to his chest is from Malaysia.

The logo on the front of the phone booth tells me it's from 2005 or before, because in 2005 Telekom Malaysia changed it's name and logo to this http://www.brandsoftheworld.com/countries/my/126744.html
Some photos, which were obviously Photoshop edits were tasteless considering the calamity and nature, no pun intended, of the picture. Boooooooo!
Living in the American midwest, smack in the middle of the area hardest hit during the Great Flood of '93, I'm amazed by the tenacity of century-old farmsteads that survived the floodwaters. Granted, many are no longer inhabited, but still they stand as mute testament to their builders' craftsmanship. High water marks are visible after fifteen years at second-story rooftop level!
Interestingly, lesser 'modern' structures were instant flotsam, such as those shown in many of your photos.
the LOL is hilarious x]
