MyBabeMaddie replied: I have seen that first picture before, do you really think its real? I remember seeing body parts sticking out but they were just round bumbs like elbows or knees or something? Do you really think you could see toes and all?

Danalana replied: I love this one:
I guess after nights of murdering and cross-burning, the Klan needed some "fun" time 
Hillbilly Housewife replied: That last one is horrible. 
PrairieMom replied: that last one is really interesting.  Its strange to see one thing that represents happiness and joy along with something that represents such hatred.
moped replied: Do you think that first one is really possible - I have seen it before.....
Calimama replied:
Love it? 
lovemy2 replied: I think it is possible - how else could you fake that - alot of work IMO to fake a photo like that and to be honest I just look at it as really sweet rather than whether or not it is real
That last one well - wierd IMO
Danalana replied:
Not "love" as in "awww, look at the Klansmen having a good time "
I guess I meant "love" as in...I appreciate the irony of it all. Does that make sense? LOL, I definitely don't love the Klan.
As for the 1st one, I have no idea if it's really possible...yall are the ones with experience in that department! I never thought abaout it being retouched or anything, but I guess it could have been.
Anthony275 replied: snopes has proven that the first one isnt real
Cece00 replied: The first is fake.
Danalana replied: I'm wondering if the last one is real...I don't see how it could be photoshopped, but people can do amazing things with photoshop. *shrug*
Cece00 replied:
Why wouldnt it be real?
luvbug00 replied: Dana i can compleately understand your finding the irony in that last photo. I agree it's Ironically intreaging. you rarely see photos like that and i think that in order to move forward we need to understand all aspects of what kind of people are out there and where they came from. the good and the bad. 
the first one if i saw in person would be far from cute to me. i find it rather creepy actually.
Danalana replied:
I don't know...I studied it for a while when i first saw it...I thought the background didn't really go with the ferris wheel, etc..it's one of those that I just question. I know it pobably is real, but it's just extremely weird. I mean, the ferris wheel is out in the middle of nowhere.
Hillbilly Housewife replied:
Actually it hasn't... it says that the status is undetermined..

grapfruit replied:
No I completely agree w/you. I think this is an exceptionally interesting picture. I think it makes us remember that underneath all the hatred are people who truly believe they are doing right and are good. To them this isn't strange at all, it's "fun times at the KKK carnival".
Just to be clear: I do NOT condone anything the KKK stands for or does. I'm just reminding everyone that these are people's dad's, brother's, son's etc. They're people too, to "hate" them makes you no better. Just something to think about....
grapfruit replied:
Somebody should ask their doctor if it's possible...
grapfruit replied:
To me the second one looks like 2 seperate photos "Photoshopped" together. Just the angle and all that. But super cool! Doesn't make it any less awesome in the least bit! And I could be wrong (believe it or not that happens from time to time)
Calimama replied:
I don't HATE anyone. I just don't "love" the picture.  
grapfruit replied:
Well I wouldn't make it my desktop or anything!!!
Calimama replied:
LOL too funny. 
My3LilMonkeys replied:
That second one is a fake....all the components of the photo are real, but it is actually 3 photos combined.

Danalana replied:
Oh, I'm soooooo making it my screensaver
And I know the beachy one is fake, for sure. I just thought it was really cool!
grapfruit replied:
I didn't notice the comet before!  It's still a really sweet picture. Each one is really cool, but combined they really have that "wow" factor!
Cece00 replied:
The last one isnt real, it cant be. A foot would not be & could not be that defined through an amniotic sac, the uterine wall, AND an abdominal muscle wall.
Boo&BugsMom replied: The one of the KKK is kind of creepy. Not just creepy because they are the KKK, but if you look at the holes in their masks and realize they are all looking at the camera, it's kind of eerie. Kind of gives me shivers.
Even though the first one isn't real, I still love it. I think it really speaks volumes and the symbolism is lovely.
Danalana replied: I agree!
MommyToAshley replied: I don't think any of them are real (some people can do some amazing stuff with photoshop)... but that doesn't take away from the awee factor. I don't like the KKK one at all... regardless of what they are doing, their group represents hatred and I don't want to look at something that represents such ugliness. I'll take the beach picture over that one any day! Just a personal opinion.
