Shark and surfers picture debate: ‘mu:kaumedia verdict

Is this a real picture of a terrifying killer monster shark leaping menacingly out of the water in a feeding frenzy just inches from unwary surfers?

Shark and surfers

Yes and no.

I know, this has nothing much to do with online marketing – except that it’s in the Daily Telegraph online and I’m contributing to the debate (since the Telegraph doesn’t let you comment on this story).

‘mu:kaumedia verdict? After a further bit of PhotoShopping, we say the shark movement is credible and the pictures are likely to be genuine – albeit not really that surprising, particularly when the text accompanying the ‘shock’ story effectively says “Yeah, mate, we see ‘em all the time”.
