Even if it hadn't mentioned the photo-shopped chicken right on the bottom of the postcard, I was sure it was a photo-shopped postcard. Can't fool me... But I'm surprised that "tourist guy" and beer-looting guy didn't make it on the postcard as well...
Where's green helmet guy?
Went to the story, ended up following a few links and ended up here, where they have come up "Flat Fatima" (aka the world's unluckiest property owner)for Revolution in News Photography:

If I were photo editor of a newspaper or journal I would only accept film.

ISSUE 3: MISLEADING CAPTIONS:
Good. The public should never believe anything the news media tells it at face value.
You should also take anything the FBI or TSA says about terrorism attempts or actual attacks with a grain of salt.
TWA800 had over 105 people say they saw a missile hit it.
LOL... Remember when Hillary! was doing the tour for her book and someone asked her who was on the cover?
Then the extra day or two it took to get my pictures from overseas would cause my circulation to be lost to my competitors. Management would therefore immediately fire me.
End of problem.
