Coke bottle on Mars (picture)

What is this in the picture from the Mars Rovers? Looks like an old Coca Cola bottle to me. This must mean there is life!!!

This would be big news.....

Except one thing - it is a fake. I made it.

Why?

To show how easy is it to fake a digital picture. If you zoom in on it, I even added artifacts, added shadows - it looks real.

This is why you can not go by photographical evidence any longer.

Don't believe everything you see.

Drink Coke

WOW nice one godservant, it really looks convincing. You are making a good point here. I am no professional and I can achieve very realistic fake images with Photoshop so you can imagine how a real professional could create something so convincing there would be no doubt in its authenticity.

i agree, with simple graphic manipulation of images and video, and virtually all the 'abductees' being nutcases, who or what evidence can we trust?

That is no indication of intelligent life on Mars, though.

Notify me when they find an empty rack of St. Paulie Girl.

godservant.... wow.

your good!

oni x x

Dude you bust me up...

I gotta say, when I first saw that picture I was thinking to myself what the hell could that possibly be. It never occurred for a minute that it was added in.

Wow.

The ever-mysterious levitating glass of St. Paulie Girl.

Sorry TC, tonight's the night on Mars, let it be Lowenbrau.

Peace

Actually, there is no indication of intelligent life on Earth either

Great pic, that's really well done.

Anyone want to check the tags and tell me what the hell photohopping is?

Editing in photoshop...did your mom drop you as a baby?

I'm not sure how to add a shadow, but here's St. Paulie Girl on mars..........

I stopped believing in photographic evidence many years ago because of how easy it is to manipulate them. I was able to cut and paste the girl in less than 5 minutes using a software program from about 10 years ago, so I can only imagine what people can do now with the latest software and some experience using it.

I know if I spent an hour and edited the picture pixel by pixel I could make it a lot more believable. So yeah, don't believe what you see unless you are sure of the source of the picture and you know it hasn't been manipulated.

The only thing I would say that looks off in the coke bottle photo is the shadowing.

Surely that's photoshopping?

Wait just a guldang minute! I think godservant is a secret disinformation agent for NASA. They really found that bottle on Mars and he is covering it up.

Silly godservant! Everyone knows that a bottle of Coke couldn't be on Mars!

It's probably really a NASA photo of an ancient bottle of GrkZch Cola... Which was the preferred non-alcoholic drink of the Martians. My spirit channeler, a 300,000,000 year old Martian spirit named GLXZPDLEDTZ, worked in the very ancient GrkZch Cola bottling plant. He wouldn't lie about something that serious!!!!!

BTW... Good job on the photochop!

Kinda of looks like Arizona to me which may be a good approximation for what Mars might look like. I think the "Rover" looks bogus, my kids make more convincing looking spacecraft with tin foil, cardboard boxes and a few coat hangers...the bottle of Coke, however, I think is authentic.
