WAG Fake photo of Shawn on Facebook

[wsg13]

Alright so I'm not sure how many of you have seen this. Or if it is anywhere else then Australia. There is a photo of Shawn Johnson on Facebook (it's a virus don't click in it) she is doing a straddle over the bar and her leotard is split in the crotch and you can see her ....... The caption is this gymnast broke her leotards in a competition in France.
This photo annoys the hell out of me!!

1. She was competing in the 2008 Olympics Beijing not France!
2.its fake!!!!!!! (I have the photo of it unphoto shopped
3. Everyone thinks it's real
4. It's just plain disrespectful

Click the button to report it to Facebook? They will likely remove it.

Oh, I saw it ages ago. It's kinda everywhere....

I think its pretty gross, especially considering that she was so young when the photo was taken, but it's clearly someone's idea of funny. I would suggest reporting it, but also being aware that rising to it (like commenting on it being annoyed) is what people probably want.

Someone that I went to school with posted it on instagram I think with #gymnasty and I commented saying that it was fake and that she was distributing an obscene picutre of a sixteen year old which is pretty cruel and she took it down.

It irritates me too, but aside form reporting it, there isn't much to be done.

Why?! Yeah I would definitely report to Facebook, that is SO inappropriate. Yeah I saw it it's practically everywhere.

By posting that here, you have now further propagated it. Never heard of it, never seen it........until now. One more thing to add to my 'wish I could unsee it list'............
