I get a lot of people forwarding stuff to me.
The above photo came with a bit of a rant about the supposedly stupidity of Americans; the woman allegedly chose the elephant as being larger than the moon.
How dumb, eh?
But I was suspicious. The story a little too cute and the printing a little too sharp. I have learnt not to take what you see as 100% true. (Especially as I used to make false passports with Photoshop. But that is another story.)
So I turned to my on-line saviour in these matters, Snopes.
It would seem that the true picture was:
Photoshop mischief.
You can read the full story here.

Forget windpipes and elephants, Lee, I want to know more about the passport forgeries!
ReplyDeleteWell, elephants do have a long windpipe and have been known to moon people!
ReplyDeleteInteresting..there's a lot of expoloitation done on the cyberworld.
ReplyDeleteThe stupidity of American's, wow that is a bit of a generalization. We are as diverse, no MORE diverse than any other country in this world. And many of our ancestors started off British. haha
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't even from a US TV show; it was a UK contestant.
