There are tons of email forwards that are Shops. They usually have some sort of humor or shock value to them. The most classic example of this is a photo that began circulating back in 2001 that was of a shark attacking a helicopter. It was usually sent with the subject line: “And you think you’re having a bad day at work!” The email forward also stated that it was a National Geographic “photo of the year” award winner. Of course, this was completely untrue as the photo was a total Shop.
The top photo is the one that was in the email forward, and the 2 photos below it were what the Shopper combined to create the hoax image. This Shop is a pretty good job, although as you can see in the original image, a shark jumping out of water pulls an awful lot of spray up with it (by its mouth primarily) which is lacking in the composite. It did a good job of fooling the average email recipient though, and I bet whenever the Shopper saw it in their email box as a forward they got a big laugh out it.
A big shout out to Kyle for the submit!
