ship itself is a VARD Offshore Subsea Construction Vessel. The house
which was digitally placed on the ship's helipad comes from an image on
the site of Ultimalt, a Norwegian paint company.
Orphaned
Syrian Boy Sleeping Between His Parents' Graves. As this image went
viral people assumed it showed a child whose family had been killed
during the conflict in Syria.
It
was actualy a staged shot taken by photographer Abdel Aziz Al-Atibi of
his nephew in Saudi Arabia as part of a conceptual art project. When he
learned of how the photo was being misunderstood, he uploaded more
photos showing other shots of his nephew during the photoshoot, to
demonstrate that the scene was a staged art project.
Theodore
Roosevelt Rides a Moose. He was president of the United States from
1901-1909. In that time he was acclaimed for his cowboy persona and
robust masculinity. So masculine he even rode a moose!
In
1912, Roosevelt split from the Republican Party, then ran for president
as head of the newly formed Progressive Party, sometimes referred to as
the "Bull Moose Party." Before the election the New
York Tribune ran a set of humorous pictures showing the three main
candidates astride the animals associated with their parties. All three
images were fake. They had been created by the photographic firm
Underwood and Underwood.
What
Happens When Lightning Strikes Sand. When lightning strikes sand, it
can form fulgurites, which are also known as "lightning tubes" or
"petrified lightning".
What
the image really shows is a piece of driftwood with sand piled on top
of it. The structure was created by "Sandcastle Matt" and posted on his Flickr photostream. He described it as "the biggest sandcastle I've ever made"
Paris Hilton Says 'Stop Being Poor.'
In the original photo taken at The Palms Hotel in Las Vegas on April 15, 2005, the message on her shirt reads: Stop Being Desperate.
Snow-Covered
Sphinx. Photos of the Sohinx covered in snow went viral, on the heels
of reports of the first snowfall in Cairo for 112 years.
The
snow-covered images don't show THE Sphinx in Egypt covered in snow.
Instead, what they show is a miniature model of the Sphinx located in
the Tobu World Square theme park in Japan. The theme park has miniature models of many other famous attractions from around the world.
Fairy Pools. This photo, identified as "The Fairy Pools, Isle of Skye, Scotland" started circulating online in Oct 2013.
In
reality, the picture shows the scenic Shotover River in New Zealand,
where the vegetation is a normal shade of green. The vivid purple color
is completely artificial, achieved by means of a color filter.
Angry Koala. A viscious Koala is upset in the rain.
The reality is Koalas don't have wolf-like jaws.The original photo was taken in January 2009 by Flickr user Oz_drdolittle, who explained that the koala was wet because he had sprayed it with water.
Barack
Obama has admitted to being a smoker, though before he launched his
presidential campaign he resolved to quit the habit. There are hardly
any photos of him smoking, largely because his campaign makes great
efforts to stop such photos getting out.
The
original photo was taken by Kwame Ross on Aug. 3, 2004 at the
University of Illinois while campaigning to become a U.S. Senator. An
unknown hoaxer digitally added the cigarette into the photo.
Sarah
Palin With Gun In Bikini. The image showing former Alaska Governor
Sarah Palin posing in an American flag bikini while holding a gun
started to circulate online soon after she was chosen as John McCain's
Vice-Presidential candidate.
The
image was created by an unknown hoaxer who removed Palin's head from a
photo showing Palin marching in the Chugiak July 4 Parade. The hoaxer
then pasted Palin's head onto the body of a bikini-wearing model.
9-11
Tourist Guy. Soon after September 11, 2001, a sensational photo began
circulating via email. It showed a tourist posing for a snapshot on top
of the World Trade Center as a hijacked plane approached from behind.
Apparently the photo had been taken just seconds before disaster struck.
Absolute
proof of the photo's lack of authenticity came when online sleuths
realized that the plane in the photo had been cut-and-pasted from a
photo taken by Jonathan Derden, available on airliners.net.
Gearge
W. Bush Reads Book Upside-Down. Bush and a young child are both reading
from America: A Patriotic Primer by Lynne Cheney. But if you look
closely, it appears that President Bush is holding his book upside down.
The
original version of the photo was taken in the Summer of 2002 while
Bush was visiting George Sanchez Charter School in Houston. It was
distributed by the Associated Press.
