Back in August, we put together a post of 12 clearly fake photos that had gone viral at some point. I’ll never forget you, bad ass helicopter shark. The peg for that article was Hurricane Isaac, which was mere child’s play compared to what Hurricane Sandy has already done and will likely do to the east coast.
A new batch of Photoshopped and/or old photos of unrelated events are being passed around on Facebook and Twitter now for Frankenstorm, so as a public service announcement, we’ve put together a collection of pictures that could be for real real, unlike these, but are most definitely for play play.

This is a real photo, but it was taken in September, not during Sandy. (Via)

OK. That one’s genuine… (Via)

…And this one’s just annoying, as are all #preparednesskit photos. WE GET IT. YOU’RE A DRUNK. (Via)



Just took a walk around Hoboken to get smokes and it is getting crazy, the wind is whipping shit around all over the place. They are shutting the city down soon and people arent allowed out some guy told me.
Hope you doubled up on the smokes. Be safe.
This is wwhy I love this site, this is a quick way to address all the lame folks on my timeline right now.

Don’t need to prepare to get drunk if that’s all you do everyday, just gonna say that right now.
Also I got fooled by the Arlington photo, but I was a snarky ass about it to the folks on Tumblr. And made a zombie joke.
#2 is a real storm pic, just photoshopped over NYC and it’s from 2004 or something.
so it’s a fake hurricane sandy photo.
I believe the flood of fake images of Sandy are there due to very imminent power outages. Ppl just did all of it up front

The one with the Empire State building is a legit pic. It’s just not from this storm.
The preparedness kit one is actually moderately clever because those are the ingredients to make a Dark and Stormy.
This needs the “shark in the streets of Jersey”
The Live New York 1 picture… that’s from The Day After Tomorrow, right?
It is worth noting that the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier remained guarded through the entire storm by the 3rd Infantry Regiment.
