Congratulations to all the great contributions on this thread. We have achieved victory over what I will now name:
PHOTOSHOPAGANDA.
Either the replacement photo was not the starting point for the fake or it too has been f*cked with.
Translation:
"The photo editing was not done in a proper manner. A new version PROPERLY using the image editing software will follow.
Had it been used properly initially, we would not have been busted.
The person responsible will be punished by sending him/her/it to remedial image editing classes."
