This kind of virality is so interesting. Where there's this photo and it's definitely a photo of something, but it's immediately obvious what's claimed in the caption is mostly-to-entirely fake... just because it doesn't hold up to a single thought. It's not even a good lie.

It wants to act as background noise that you half-remember, but not as something you actually read into. It reminds me of the scams with intentional misspellings to bring in the most gullible.

It was the same with the DPRK trial photo with prop cuffs, or a bunch of stuff Israel churns out, or a million other stories.
