We Insist That The Photo Below Is Completely and Totally Real (Honest)

The world is no longer safe for truth. At least according to Ad Age’s Simon Dumenco who just released his newest Media Guy column, “Reality Bytes: Welcome to Our Photoshopped Future.” In it, Dumenco laments that it’s difficult to believe anything you read or hear anymore, and now even with still images, you can’t be 100% certain that what you’re looking at hasn’t been doctored. Granted, that statement is old hat anymore, but being a gifted writer, he turns the idea around a bit and wonders how we got to where we are now and what, in the end, we really have to show for ourselves.
