The Great Lobster Cover-Up of 2019

in palnet •  5 years ago 

Not the best way to un-see food:

Israel’s envoy to Brazil was ridiculed on social media this week after the embassy apparently attempted to conceal the fact that he ate lobster with President Jair Bolsonaro by clumsily photoshopping an image of the two men’s meal.

The Israeli mission on Sunday tweeted a picture of Yossi Shelley and Bolsonaro eating lunch before attending a Brazil-Peru soccer game. Their plates were blurred with black marks — an apparent attempt to hide the fact that Shelley was eating a non-kosher meal.

However, the sloppy editing did not fully hide the food, leaving the offending crustaceans plainly visible.


It is a shame he did not think to just crop the photo - would have made things a lot easier.

On the plus side, maybe this a peace opportunity - we can discuss with the Iranians lessons learned and ways to improve our Photoshop craft.

Update: This reminds me of this scene from The Office:

Maybe he just took a picture with his friend, and the "meal" was an innocent bystander. Yes it is unclean, but most people don't know that (but so is a cover up). So, this is not about religious abstinence but political goals. Not sure which, however. Also, the photo is not clear if the lobster was ever consumed. Even the most conservative religions are not opposed to posing. however the black marks are a dead giveaway that there was something to hide. Just not sure who or what. Better luck next time for the amateur photographer or political wannabe.
