Towing A Killer Whale
Status: Photoshopped
I found this picture on a Finnish-language website, but there was no information about it. However, I'd say it was definitely photoshopped, and not particularly skillfully. The ropes look fake. (The one thing that made me hesitate before saying it was fake, however, was the thought that it could be a picture of an attempt to tow away a beached whale, or something like that.)

This picture was actually a winning entry on a recent Worth1000 photoshop competition. Someone has removed the worth1000 watermark that the picture should have

Worth1000! What a surprise. It's like a rule that all photoshopped pictures either come from Worth1000 or Fark.

You can tell the orca is a seperate picture. You can see the spray from where the whale was coming out of the water in the original image. I'm sure the tractor wouldn't be dragging him fast enough to create such a spray.

I doubt that dinky tractor could tow such a load anyways on a wet slope.

Hehehe. Go free willie! Wait! No! Look out for that tractor! Too late!

Also, I think it's pretty obvious that Orca's do not grow that large. The man in the tractor would be a tiny little morsel to that whale. Recall that the Orca's primary diet is composed of sea lions which are smaller than humans.

Hello, Biarritz ...? Finnland calling.
We'll be needing our Sami fleshscraper back after all.

Obviously photoshopped, and not very well I might add. The cutting is choppy, ropes are obviously fake, perspective is wrong, lighting is wrong. This shouldn't even really be on this page. Anyone who would believe this is clearly a fool.

Yep, definitely photoshop. The ropes don't look real and they don't look like they're even on the whale... and the position of the whale is odd, somehow...
