very good ben-dan.  do you think the picture was taken through a bus window? it seems that way to me. and if so then the light could be a bit higgledy piggledy as it gets reflected off various bits of bus.

It does look like it was shot out of a bus window. The shadow in front of the wheel looks to be a side view mirror but there is still definitely something wrong with Chucky.

Put some clothes on the kid while you're at it.  One doesn't have to be a photoshop sleuth to figure out that the bucket baby doesn't fit with the rest of the picture.

No one has mentioned the bike. What a great ad opportunity

Comfort for two, strong enough for 12

Who says you need a car for a family outing

Imagine if we added a third wheel?

And this model is the X series, the LX has more room and power

This 125-T touring bike has better carrying capacity.
However, if your family is small, get the sports model 125-S for higher performance.

It's things like this that make me sad that Dongguan has mostly outlawed motorcycles.

7 people on a bike is still pretty outrageous, even if they didn't pick up a bucket of Kentucky Fried Child.

I don't quite understand the mindset of someone who saw the original photograph and thought, 'This picture doesn't look dangerous enough.  Margaret, switch on my laptop!'

Haven't you ever seen a picture of a great motorcycle then saw training wheels attached?

Or a million dollar car with an 8-track player.

Photo-shopping a bucket of baby bubba is priceless. Of course no one is going to put their naked kid out like that (though you never know here). I'd add a bumper sticker that says "Baby on board - except we're not sure where he is"

if you are not sure whether the photo has been PHOTOSHOPPEDthen take a look at the photo attached.

Still not convinced?? Then you can go back to my post on p1 - and check out the photo I attached to 'there's a hole ......"


Still not convinced? ? ?  bibibibibi

You know, I was sitting on the bus this afternoon when the same thought occurred to me.  bibibibibi

My first reaction was to get off the bus, get a taxi home, get on the internet and apologise to everybody in the Saloon for my error.

Then I thought, no ... bugger them ... and enjoyed an afternoon in the sun

I haven't seen the examples you mention, but I do understand the humour of them, they have a punchline of sorts.

What I can't get my head around is why someone would want to add 'a bucket of baby bubba' to a picture which already is amusing in a, 'Jeez, only in China, eh?' kind of way.  If one needs Photoshop to manipulate photographs taken in China, then one surely is not getting out and about enough.  Or to put it another way, China sometimes is Photoshop without the need for software.
