So did you actually download the image and look at it, or only pop the thumbnail and form an opinion based on that?
How come you guys all _want_ this to be baloney? How come you work so hard at denial when it's so much easier and more fulfilling to get into the reality of it? I really don't get the psychology of this. All you gotta do is look at this and you know darn well this can't be artifacts. Now it _may_ be a spoof or something, but, duder, it just ain't .jpeg trash and you know it.
Now what's the real beef all about?
