Fake Images

Fake images can, when found isolated, be confused for real images. They are usually made by cutting and pasting the heads of celebrities onto the bodies of nude models, although sometimes the parts of nude models are pasted onto a picture of a celebrity. Almost all fake images portray the celebrity in question doing things that normally the person would be unlikely to do, sometimes with people they don't know. Occasionally, fake images revolve around a theme of one of the celebrities works. For example, certain fakes of Kirsten Dunst have a Spider-Man theme, and certain fakes of Angelina Jolie have a Tomb Raider theme. Fake pics can usually be found individually by an image search on google or other search engines. There are websites dedicated to the genre that collect and display fake images or have a user community that makes their own. It is also worthy of note that many fake sites are labeled as 'free' to attract visitors, but require online payment anyway. Kirsten[1] Caroline Dunst (born April 30, 1982) is a Golden Globe nominated American actress, best known for her roles in Interview with the Vampire, The Virgin Suicides, Marie Antoinette, and Bring It On, as well as Mary Jane Watson in the Spider-Man film series. ...
