I chose this picture of the fabled “jackalope”. It’s clearly a fake picture of a rabbit with what looks like deer antlers on its head. I like this picture because I see it everywhere in every gas station in Texas that has postcards. It’s meant to be a comical image and that’s what it conveys to its viewers. Everyone knows that it is doctored unless you’re really detached from the world. The picture is from Colorado so I would assume that it originated in the South; maybe in Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, or Arizona. The image itself was photoshopped by putting deer antlers on top of the rabbits head to make it look like it has antlers. It was manipulated because it is hilarious. Just imagine a furry and friendly little rabbit with antlers. Not so friendly now, huh? I don’t think that the manipulation was harmful at all. It’s made to be funny and it doesn’t hurt anyone by creating a false image of a rabbit. The rabbit isn’t going to file a lawsuit against the creator so it’s safe.
What a great post, Hunter - I loved this:
