More Dan: Fake Steve

Steve Jobs not injured in bizarre bicycle accident

Filed: Tech

Just called Steve Dowling to ask him about this photo that’s flying around the Interwebs which supposedly shows Steve Jobs in a bit of distress after flying over the handlebars of his bicycle. The story broke on CNN and then was picked up by Reuters, TechCrunch, Silicon Alley Insider, AllThingsD, VentureBeat, GigaOm and Valleywag. “It’s not true,” Dowling said. I said, which part isn’t true? The part about him falling off his bike or the part about him drilling himself through a tree? Dowling repeated, “The story is not true.” I said, Well I wouldn’t even ask but the weird thing is it does kind of look like Steve. “Is that a question?” Dowling said. I said, Well don’t you think it kind of looks like him? “The story,” Dowling said, “is not true.” 

Clearly there is some pretty compelling photographic evidence on this one. Nonetheless, I’m taking Steve Dowling at his word on this one.

That guy doesn’t look like Steve Jobs. He looks more like a less creepy John McCain.

Nice picture!

sailor-striped shirt on Steve Jobs? NEVER. You could have at least paintshopped the shirt before posting.

Kreepy head in the tree looks awesome though.

I heard they are having trouble extracting Steve without harming the tree any more than he already has. It’s a tense environmental situation.

That isn’t Steve. The turtleneck isn’t black.

Dan, dude, I am worried now Newsweak has not provided you with Photoshop. Do we need to start a fundraiser to help you own your own tools for photoshopping (black turtleneck on that guy in a tree would have been nice)?

If you don’t own your tools dude, the filthy capitalists at Newsweak own you! Google the Manifesto, then apply to Photoshop.
