Photoshopped before photoshop!? Oh my!

In the 1970s there was a famous picture going around newspapers, magazines, and television. The picture was of a peaceful protester, shot by police while his girlfriend screams in agony... Yes, quite the scene. However, the publicized picture had been tampered with. There was a pole placed behind the females head which made the picture look kind of wacky... but overall the picture was fine.  A photographer took the image and "airbrushed" the pole from behind her head.  Im not sure what that meant back in those days... I only know what airbrushing means in photoshopped terms.

This next picture is sensational! This baby flew around the internet like wildfire in the last few years. The story states that the female in this picture had cheated on her boyfriend (a tattoo artist). Later that week, she went to his tattoo parlor to get a scene of Narnia tattooed on her back. The unsuspecting cheater had no idea her boyfriend had figured it all out, thus implementing his harsh revenge plan and tattooing a giant piece of c**p on her back.  The picture is reported fake! The story never happened. In fact the two people (the girl and her tattoo artist boyfriend) never existed. Makes me feel good that human kind isn't as awful as the media depicts... =)

Mixing Images and Captions

This first gem was found in the LA times. The picture is about the US Postal Services cutting their work days to Monday through Friday. The caption is from the NY times. The article was about a study that was created to find the meaning of "cool" .

The picture below was discovered in the LA Times Science Now section. The article is about the religious right to hunt (or not hunt in this matter) in the Amazon.  The caption was found in a National Geographic website article about a dog that is now trained to find buried bones and fossils.

Picture number three is of well known porn star Ron Jeremy and his trip to the emergency room after he suffered an aneurism. The picture was found in the LA Times, Science Now section.  The caption was also found in the LA Times Science Now section in which a study shows the low sperm count of couch potatoes.
