Pictures that Lie


I selected the picture of the fabled jackalope because it is in one of my favorite songs by Robert Earl Keen. The picture originated as just a picture of two normal jack rabbits. In the altered picture, the rabbits have antlers similar to a deer. It was manipulated to convince people that there are in fact jackalopes running around in south Texas. This picture is only harmful to the imagination of young people. The young mind is much more susceptible to trickery by photography but the picture is harmless.
