Title: Who's The Outted Shriner?
Post by: Brisco County, Jr. on March 08, 2006, 07:48:50 PM

Ian said the pic is from a magazine or something.  My guess is Michelle.  http://www.freetalklive.com/images/michelle.jpg

That is my guess as well.  I e-mailed in a color-corrected version of that photo and it stood out as being especially crappy.  There's a ton of JPEG degradation, it looks like it's been through the ringer a few times.  Perhaps not an original digital image like the others, looks like it could be a scanned print.  But mainly the pose seems fake with an unlikely pose.  It also seems cropped and perhaps the card was added. If the entire card and not just the lettering  was added then I have to give the scammer props for retouching the hair over the top of it.  If superimposed, the card does gel with the rest of the photo.  But the pose itself seems phony.

then why is there the same picture on her myspace profile but with different words?  Which one is real?  HMMMMMM?

The FTL pic was the original.  She's real.

I don't even remember the seeing the pic that was before it was moved.

Might want to update one of the banners now that the shriner has been outed.

Excellent work.  Combining a crappy digicam background with a high quality subject. The low-color GIF dither also helps. Of course it helps to have great source material i.e. a professional stock photo.

I'd say let the banner go, in this case the girl's photo is being used for what it's supposed to be used for.  It's not like the photoshopper exploited the image of some other individual without their knowledge.

Now that that pic is a known fake from a stock photo site it's a matter of principle to keep using it.

Intellectual property rights and all that :)
