Photoshop? Never Heard Of It

Paul Watson, founder of Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, wrote this little nugget in his 1993 book "Earthforce: An Earth Warrior's Guide to Strategy":

If you don't know an answer, a fact, a statistic, then ... make it up on the spot.

Apparently, he also condones altering photographs. These images make even this photo look genuine by comparison. Come on, people. If you really want us to believe that the harvesting of a few dolphins could stain the water in an entire bay with blood, at least put a splash of red on the diver's white gloves! A puddle or two in the boat wouldn't hurt either.

For more info on Mr. Watson and his "non-violent" organization, read this.
