In this context “Fw: FW: Fw: Fwd:” suddenly becomes funny again!

The last two photos are ’shopped.

John seems to be correct. I managed to find a pretty good writeup at http://www.cargolaw.com/2005nightmare_catch-day.html.

It’s a Fake on 2 last pics

There are also 3 trucks in the water in the final photo. I’s supposed to be over the top. Saying it’s shopped is like pointing out the strings in a marionette show. Just enjoy the metaphor. Too apropos!

This is a fake !

Look at the top right on the 7st pic, do you see the bird ?
Look now at the last pic (at top right), do you see the same bird at the same place ?
