ok, so number 1, really scares me. I'm terrified of sharks and pretty much all large fish that live in the sea. So this is also a very convincing image, compiled of 2 seperate photographs. Lance Cheung for the US Air Force took the image of the copter, and the shark was taken by South African Photographer Charles Maxwell. Scary dude.
Number 2 Sarah Palin is really funny to me, and the fact that somebody found this photograph and decided to put her big dumb head on it really makes me giggle. It's especially convincing as well, which deservers a "job well done".
Manipulation is often about trickery- making one think that what they're are seeing is real. And why? Because they can. because it makes them giggle. or it just makes them feel good about being cool enough to know how to use photoshop. Either way, its an interesting concept to think about-being tricked is actually fun! (until it goes too far, and people cry and what not)
These images were not manipulated for popularity or personal gain, just to have a little fun. Make us have a little too.
