Will they change that picture

So I am on the KSL website (Owned by LDS church) and they have a General Conference section showing a real bad picture of TSM doing something weird with his lips, looking bored and focusing on a teleprompter.

I know in the past they were very careful of the images they displayed of the prophet, but this picture clearly looks as if it came from the "do not use" pile.

I am just wondering how long it will take for them to recognize this blunder and replace the picture?

Maybe it was the best they could get and they had to go with it?

It is bad, it looks like an ad for a product addressing some sort of alimentary canal trouble.

He looks like he's trying to wrestle away the part of the Farting Preacher in that photo.

It looks like he was expecting it to be just a bottom burp but...

Nope, they never did change the picture.

Funny thing is though, I was talking to someone who watched quite a few conference talks over the last few days. He said the mannerisms during conference were more "silly old grandfather like." I would have to agree, his facial gestures and other things all make him seem more human and more normal.

In the Sunday session there were eye-rolls and other facial expressions to get the audience laughing (Oh and they will laugh at anything if given the chance). On Saturday night he stated something about a lot of people being there, and for the camera slowly looked extreme right, extreme straight up and extreme left which got everyone laughing.

They also have updated pictures of the speakers and they chose to use pictures that are unflattering of TSM compared to the past where they would always pick the very best picture and touch-it-up to make him look a little younger and healthy than he is.

Sometimes his expressions and mannerisms and impersonations were funny, but other times he seemed to be mocking people. I thought he might be drunk. Did someone spike his orange juice?
