And another Photoshopped photo is outed.. in China (Guardian Unlimited) Excerpts follow: China’s attempts to persuade people (well, worried westerners) that its $4bn Qinghai-Xizang railway, which goes to Tibet, y’know, might have minimal environmental impact (as well as some impact on people who live in Tibet) found its apotheosis in a picture of antelope running beneath the train track carrying the 60mph (100km/h) train. The picture won an award in 2006 from Xinhua, and the antelope - whose numbers have (it’s claimed; can’t be sure of anything, as you’ll learn) risen in recent years is one of the mascots of the Olympics. They’re in China this year - you hadn’t heard? (Also, what do mascots do at the Olympics? Hold the towels?)
Except the picture was faked. Photoshopped. Two different events spliced together.
Details are provided. Also, full-sized photo with clues to its fake status marked is available at fake photo.
