Chinese faked photograph leaves officials on street of shame.....

I hesitated before posting this topic, either in the humor section or in the breaking news section, as this could really be a comic event..... or a tragic event

Officers in Huili, Sichuan apologise for badly doctored picture of men inspecting new road on local government website:

For government officials in Huili, a distinctly modest county in a rural corner of south-west China, attracting national media coverage would normally seem a dream come true. Unfortunately, their moment in the spotlight was not so welcome: mass ridicule over what may well be one of the worst-doctored photographs in internet history. The saga began on Monday when Huili's website published a picture showing, according to the accompanying story, three local officials inspecting a newly completed road construction project this month.
The picture certainly portrayed the men, and the road, but the officials appeared to be levitating several inches above the tarmac. As photographic fakery goes it was astonishingly clumsy.

Full story here

All this was, however, too late to prevent a torrent of mockery as the offending image was passed around chatrooms and other websites. Inevitably, within hours there was a flood of parodies showing the officials variously landing on the moon, surrounded by dinosaurs and, in one instance, joined on their inspection tour by the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-il.

See here

To not even try and make it look real is the ultimate insult.

I guess the officials truly believe that the lower class are idiots. Nice to see that the real idiots are busted.

OMG!! That is so funny. I laughed my butt off. Thanks
OP, I needed that.

This was hilarious. People have way too much free time these days

The best part is every parody picture is more convincing than the original

Seriously, Seriously funny stuff! I needed a laugh today! These are some of the funniest parodies....

I suppose it just goes to show, even the Chinese have a sense of humor akin with the rest of the world.

2nd.

Best laugh today. And your addition of the shadows underneath them was hysterical!

And more!











These are just too funny to pass up!

It could be a deliberately, unsubtle message to wake people up to the fact
that media fakery is obvious and all around us, if we only choose to look.
China is the new super-power and the photographic errors here are just too obvious
for its release to be anything but a deliberate tactic.
Are China taking the reins and subtly incriminating
its rivals over their extensive use of faked footage to further their agendas.
Most governments are aware that 9/11 was a computer generated hoax, for the
most part and maybe the U.K./Vatican/U.S./Nazi powerful alliance has its rivals?
Or maybe its just another lair in the onion.
All governments are puppets to the same core few.

Thanks for posting, this thread made my first smile for the day.

Sorry, I had to do a couple of my own.

Someone good with photoshop should add them to pictures with a lot of people.

Make a Chinese version of "Where's Waldo?"
