LOL! No, Joe. It’s a spoof. Much like that of Polarik creating a forged document to prove that a document he claims is a forgery can be forged. Geez!

A spoof is one thing, showing the methods used to achieve a fraud and forgery is not a spoof. Your 'document' was presented with no expectations that it be considered genuine.

The 'COLB' image presented as 'proof' Obama was allegedly born in Hawaii was intended to be considered genuine.

Deconstructing the alleged COLB, showing discrepancies between it and a real one, and showing how it was created is fundamentally no different (albeit more involved) than debunking the alleged (fake but accurate) National Guard Memos by showing why the alleged documents were fake, and then showing how they were generated.

Oh, that happened on this site, too, and not only were the 'credentials' of those who did so not called into question, it cost Dan Rather his job.

Funny thing, though, there weren't so many posters around then who were zealously defending Dan Rather.
