No, this photograph of Joe Grima (Malta’s special envoy to the World Tourism Organisation) is NOT Photoshopped

Joe Grima wishes people to understand that this photograph of him at a fast food outlet has been Photoshopped to make him look the way he does in it (as though Jonah is struggling to get out).
I wish to make it clear that the picture has not been touched at all, not using Photoshop and not by any other means. It was taken by one of Malta’s most acclaimed photographers, who happened to be there, using his phone. He sent it straight from his phone, there and then in the fast food outlet, to my email inbox and I uploaded it immediately on this website.
The image is intact.

And good thing they haven’t yet invented this: http://comedycentral.mtvnimages.com/images/shows/Futurama/V_series/ftr_108_smelloscope_v6.jpg
Good Evening Daphne

LNG explosion video (explosion at very end) – And this was just a truck on a highway! It explains the fear of people and what an explosion would look like.

A word of advice.
The guy in this shot should be at Mater Dei Hospital and not at the World Tourism Organisation.
For his own good.
Come to Malta, the land of the plenty.
Message to Joe Grima.
This is what a photoshopped picture is like.

Reshuffling? Muscat, consider my suggestion … He’d make a great health minister.
Who is that lucky passenger who happens to sit near Joe Grima on a plane?
I doubt whether there would be space enough for his guardian angel.
Now, can he tell us exactly why he thinks he’s entitled to disabled parking? If there is no medical justification this is simply and purely a case of ‘fraud’.
Is Grima saying that he’s been made fatter or that his clothes have been changed? Such photo doctoring would be extremely complex against such a complex background. B’min trid tit###ek Sur Grima?
Does he honestly not know what he really looks like? The man is HUGE, morbidly obese.
But no, hang on. His life partner said it is a ‘condition’.
Kondixxjin, Neil … Please
What’s he going to do next? Blame a 3D printer for his appearance when people meet him in the flesh?
Were his portion sizes also Photoshopped?
No, those were low-fat burger and chips.
Can you imagine how large the photoshop would have had to be to do the photoshopping?
Vera qatilna bil-guh Gonzi!
Jonah? Actually, I think it’s the whale trying to get out.
The man is GARGANTUAN.
Kollu t-tort ta’ Gonzi kif gabu zaqqu ma’ dahru bl-ghaks.
I’m surprised the photographer could capture the full bulk with a smart-phone. You’d think a lens with a very wide angle would be essential.
Joe Grima was fitted to be the new President of Malta. It would have been joyful watching him taking part in the yearly charity run from San Anton to Valletta.
Guys, don’t forget, it’s all about the roadmap.
If Claudette Abela Baldacchino was already taken up as a zebra crossing, who better than Joe Grima to serve as a roundabout?
