Don't always believe what you see

This article on News.com demonstrates how easy it is to fake a photo, and who is willing to do it to make their point. There's a blurry line between illustration and photography, and it's tempting to cross over that line when you want to show something in the way you see it, regardless of how it really looked. It's incredibly irresponsible to do this without a big disclaimer, and probably just bad practice because it can lead to unintentional consequences (ie: people think it's a real photo).
