Fooled You


I'd been had.

Ever see one of those videos or pictures going around that appear "too unreal" or "unbelieveable"?  In a lot of cases there are just that, not real.  The latest trickery that I was taken by was the picture of the Royal Wedding compared to the animated Cinderella Disney movie clips.  I have to admit, the photo did have me going for awhile. "Cinderella and Royal Wedding Comparison".  Very clever, very thought-provoking and entertaining:  http://www.snopes.com/photos/people/cinderella.asp

Here's a link to a video that I found on snopes.com Top 25.  It's portrayed as a baseball news video, called, "Evan Longoria's Crazy Bare Hand Catch", preventing the baseball from hitting the female reporters head. Turns out it was a Gillette commercial:  http://www.snopes.com/photos/advertisements/longoria.asp 

Here's an "Amazing Ball Girl Catch", that is actually a Gatorade Commercial.  This one looked real. I'd been had:  http://www.snopes.com/photos/advertisements/ballgirl.asp 

Makes one wonder if this one's real or not: "Ball bashes blonde babe's bonce".  A Sky Sport's production.  I sent this to snopes.com today to get it checked out:

Have a great day, and remember to check it out if it seems unbelievable!
