Our world today is populated by visually driven humans<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

[CustomTables]<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even before the rise of the Internet and social media<\/a>, images and pictures have always been the peak expression of our glorification of biggest historical events as a society.<\/p>\n

They are so powerful that people with the power see that it is necessary to tweak and manipulate them<\/strong> to fuel their own ends and fool the people into believing the lies they want enforced.<\/p>\n

Now that the Internet, social media, and image manipulation technology is more accessible than ever, waves of edited or photoshopped pictures<\/strong> appear on people\u2019s screens made for different reasons, from shock to flamebaiting to spreading conspiracy rumors.<\/p>\n

Although humans have been developing a keener eye for manipulated images<\/strong>, it is undeniable that there are edited pictures that fooled most of the world, if not all of it.<\/p>\n

By now, we all know that you can’t believe everything you see on the internet<\/strong>. Experts at Photoshop<\/a><\/em> are able to manipulate images in whatever way they please.<\/p>\n

Below are 15 photoshopped images<\/strong> that played us all for suckers. Check them out and tell if you yourself would\u2019ve been fooled if it wasn\u2019t for what this article revealed.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get straight to no. 15:<\/p>\n

15. Time Magazine\u2019s \u201cDark Cover-up\u201d of O.J Simpson<\/h2>\n

\"top<\/p>\n

Former American football player O.J. Simpson<\/strong> was infamously caught and detained by the authorities for murdering his former wife<\/a> Nicole Smith and her friend Ronald Goldman.<\/p>\n

News publication companies rabidly disseminated images of his mug shot all over the country as it was being marketed by the media as the century\u2019s biggest trial at that time<\/strong>. Oddly, TIME Magazine released an issue that has an altered version of the mug shot.<\/p>\n

The alteration has something to do with the saturation of the image\u2019s color, which allegedly made Simpson\u2019s skin darker<\/strong>, as if his dark skin is being emphasized. The corners of the picture were edited to make them look blacker, as if charred, and his prisoner ID number was made smaller<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It was noticed by the public because copies of this Time Magazine edition<\/a> were sold and put on shelves beside the original, unaltered mug shot covers of competitor brand Newsweek. Did time have dark motives for offering the public a dark image<\/strong> of OJ Simpson after he committed an even darker deed? We don\u2019t really know.<\/p>\n

14. The Male Tourist of September 11, 2001<\/h2>\n

\"photoshopped<\/p>\n

Right after the tragic WTC destruction of September 11, 2001, a picture of a male tourist was sent to every e-mail. Rumors tell that it was believed to be the last image taken using the film roll of a camera<\/strong> that luckily survived the obliteration of the famed Twin Towers<\/a> of the World Trade Center in New York City.<\/p>\n

Like any secret that eventually gets exposed, the picture was proven to be just another edited image. How so? The weather in the picture failed to match<\/strong> the weather in New York City by the time the WTC was attacked<\/a>. The man on the image was also seen to stand somewhere on the South Tower, which seems to be the tower the plane on the picture crashed into.<\/p>\n

“ Weather in the picture failed to match ”<\/p>\n

\n <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The truth is the North Tower was the one first to take a hit. It was also confirmed that the observation deck of the World Trade Center was closed<\/strong> that time when the planes crashed into the building. It was also very unlikely for an average camera to take a very clear and detailed shot of an airplane towards the tourist\u2019s location at a very high speed.<\/p>\n

Only a camera with a tremendously fast shutter speed would be able to do that<\/strong>. To top all the con artwork done, the airplane on the image was a Boeing 757<\/a>. The planes that crashed into the WTC were 767s. The picture was enough to tickle the senses<\/strong> of the emotionally stirred masses but the fizz fizzled out pretty quickly.<\/p>\n
