Salka Posted January 15, 2008 While looking for more information on this new missing 5-year-old from the Prai de Luiz area this morning, I came across this conspiracy theory thread. To summarise what the author blabs about for ages, he thinks this image of Madeleine McCann, the last known to be taken of her, has been doctored. Why? Well, he thinks that Madeleine was killed by her parents long before they claim she went missing, and they doctored this image to prove that she was "alive" at some point on May 3rd. He completely discounts the fact that Madeleine was seen not only by everyone in their holiday party on May 3rd, but also that she was picked up from the creche later that day and was seen out in restaurants eating, etc. His reason for thinking this is that the shadows in the picture are inconsistent. Possibly because they are all sitting above a huge fucking pool of water on a sunny day. Nobody tell him that though, his brain might explode. It might be too much for him to understand. What I hate so much about him is that he refers to himself as "the author". When trying to argue his case with people he says, "The author is simply trying to..." or "The author merely wishes to..." and other such annoying things that all point to the fact that he thinks he's some kind of infallible genius. Or even that he thinks he's vaguely intelligent. Anyway, some of the replies in that thread are so absolutely astonishingly stupid. I'm going to quote this one in particular: (This poster believes that the image is doctored and is trying to figure out who might have doctored the image) OK so ignoring Kate and Gerry (not sure why) The rest of the Tapas 9 are Dr Russell O'Brien Jane Tanner Rachel Oldfield Dr Matthew Oldfield Dr Fiona Payne Dr David Payne Dianne Webster Assuming that Drs aren't good at digital image manipulation and able to produce a forged "last photo", then that leaves Jane Tanner Rachel Oldfield Dianne Webster I will rule Dianne Webster out as she seems to be in accounts. So that leaves Jane Tanner Rachel Oldfield That Tanner name keeps cropping up. What does she do for a job? AS IF A DOCTOR OR AN ACCOUNTANT COULD USE PHOTOSHOP EH? BUT I HEAR THAT NAME "TANNER" LOTS. THAT DEFINITELY SUGGESTS THAT SHE COULD USE PHOTOSHOP. Ughhh I hate them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salka Posted January 15, 2008 Other choice quotes Was it Kate or Gerry who tampered with the photo, or was it someone in UK ? GOOD QUESTION Can i just add here adobe photoshops elements works fine on laptopsMy 10 year old child can super impose objects and things on to photos using photoshop so if a 10 year old can do it i am sure a grown man can its easy to get instruction step by step you can also completely change location ie my son had a picture taken in the day of a tree in a field by the time he had finished the tree was part of a sunset with a lake in it and deer simple BET IT LOOKED REALISTIC AS FUCK If madeleine is laugghing so much, how come the photographer didn't include what she was laughing about in the photo? GOOD POINT, PHOTOGRAPHER BASTARD IS CLEARLY GUILTY AND THE PHOTO IS A FAKE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wrestlevania Posted January 15, 2008 If, somehow, that photo is a fake, it's a fucking outrageously good one by any standard. Arrest all B3TArds! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

twmac Posted February 1, 2008 Please forgive me for what I am about to do. Yufster, it was probably an accident, but it is 'Praia de Luz'. I also find it irritating to have him referring to them as the Tapas 9, Tapas is a primarily Spanish arrangement that involves lots of small dishes that you mix and match as you see fit. Praia de Luz is in the Algarve, in Portugal. Tapas is not a Portuguese dish. But then the 'Chourico 9' (sorry can't find the accent that goes underneath the 'c') or the 'Bacalhau 9' doesn't have the easily digestible ring to it. This is totally off topic (well sort of as this seems to be about misinformation) but it makes me grind my teeth whenever people refer to stuff in Portugal and get it wrong. Anyway, back to something a little more random: She is currently hanging out with R Kelly as he is clearly the only one who understands her... Or something.
