Turns out they were mostly just plaster casts.

So all the fuss with posters on here slagging off the Koran and Iraqi's ("Iraq was already in the Stoneage. How could it be otherwise, when 'knowledge' begins and ends with the Qu'ran?"... I mean Jeez... I recently worked an Iraqi doctor, I know two Iraqi journalists and one Iranian Comedian). Someone even implied that Iraq had to shoulder some of the blame for getting bombed into powder! But it turns out that those posters' righteous indignation and reactionary justification was actually a load of premature exasperation. Just plaster casts...

It reminded me of the fuss over weirdo American Christians who burned Beatles Records. Oh yeah... except those werent fake Beatles Records. And some of them Vee-Jay LP pressings were rather fetching.
