That's surreal. Like, Salvador Dali and Andy Warhol having a gay lovechild on Neptune-surreal. And yet, I can't look away...

Real but seemingly from one of the Jewish Chinese/Mongols/Japanese TLs.

JFK's bandage changes sides in that picture.

They probably flipped the original image (and its three pictures, by the way. They just look attached.)
