Is it real or Photoshop? I scored 6 out of 10, but I have an issue with one of the questions. (Link courtesy of Eileen.)See, I think the Oprah Winfrey question is problematic. I answered that it was Real, simply because I sorta remembered that that had been an actual cover. And it was an actual cover. But the picture of Oprah herself was Photoshopped. I don’t think the question is clear whether you’re judging that this was an actual TV Guide cover, or whether TV Guide was guilty of Photoshop. So really, I should have one more point.

I got 6/10 too. I still think that bus looks too neat and tidy – I expected some crumpled metal at least! But I don’t agree about Oprah – I was clear that it was the picture we were meant to look at. I guess that was a trap for people who remember ed the cover.
6/10 for me as well. Bus wrong, Iceberg wrong and polar bears wrong as well as cat licking rat.
Ah, see, I got the link from Eileen and she LOVES interspecies friendship stories, so I figured that was why she linked to it in the first place. 🙂
