HELLO NY TIMES!!! :: Can Anyone Say MASSSSIVE DISCREPANCY!!!!

Wed, 19 Jan 2011 11:14:00 -0500

A January 15, 2010 New York Times article entitled,”Looking Behind the Mugshot Grin”, on page 6 states that Jared Loughner had a shaved head and shaved eyebrows.

“At a small local branch of a major bank, for example, the tellers would have their fingers on the alarm button whenever they saw him approaching. It was not just his appearance — the pale shaved head and eyebrows — that unnerved them.”

And then, on page 7, the article moves on to an interview with the taxi driver that picked up Jared and drove him to the Safeway supermarket. It states:

“Then out came his customer, just another customer, a normal-looking young man. Climbing into the back seat, the man said he needed to go to the Safeway supermarket”

So, make up your mind! Which is it?! Did he have a shaved head and shaved eyebrows or was he just another normal looking young man???

~HUUUGE DISCREPANCY!!!!

After watching this video on Jared Loughner’s mugshot having telltale signs of having been PhotoShopped: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6OtS_O6GGY

A friend and I decided to take the mugshot and put it into Photoshop to see what we saw when we zoomed in, and the signs of it having been doctored are there. Eyebrows, bridge of nose, neck, cheeks.

Two of the most mind-boggling alterations that we noticed was that 1. his shirt has been outlined in black and 2. his mouth has been made to look like a crazy leer / Joker grin.

~The right side of the corner of his mouth has been extended. If you look you can see the natural endpoint to his smile -and that it’s been extended. It’s impossible for his smile to extend to the endpoint depicted in the picture unless his mouth was slashed at the corner.

Why was his mugshot altered?

Anyone have any thoughts on this? / Any pro graphic designers that can confirm or deny that this picture has been altered?
