sharks, facebook, photoshop, and the news
« on: April 24, 2014, 02:54:34 PM »
So, there's a surf spot that we can only get to by boat. My buddies were coming back from there and took a picture of a dolphin and posted it for their facebook friends and tongue in cheek called it a shark. Another friend photoshoped it and reposted it. We've been commenting on this picture for a week or so, and now it is on the local news.

It was also on one of the other station's web page this morning, but has been pulled.

and the news story

A shark expert tells 10News that San Diegans should be seeing more great white sharks like the one was spotted by a kayaker off Point Loma just days ago.

Photoshopped or not, a shark in the ocean certainly qualifies as front-page news.
