A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words...But What is it Worth if it Lies?

We were supposed to look through some mortified pictures in class today, and choose one that we liked to talk about. I chose the picture of the Jackalopes in Colorado. I wanted to use this picture, because my Dad has told me a lot of myths that he was told about the Jackalopes when he was working in the oil fields of Midland/Odessa, and I have always been fascinated by the thought of a rabbit with deer antlers! This picture was altered for use on a postcard, however CNet cannot determine when the postcard was made. The actual picture was of two rabbits in a field in Colorado, and someone came in a pasted some deer antlers onto their heads. They manipulated this photo so that they could sell postcards, because who doesn't want to get a postcard of a mythical creature? I don't believe that manipulating a picture of rabbits to make them look like Jackalopes is a bad thing, because it can't really hurt anyone, how can a deer-horned rabbit that does not exist hurt anyone? It is a fanciful figment of the Western sub-conscious.
