Through the tireless efforts of our editor, along with a little technology, we have officially debunked the helmet picture.
Using Photoshop, we layered one picture on top of the other, then morphed one into the other. Nothing changes except the helmet, and you can still see part of his bare head on the very top of the helmet.
We still don’t know what would possess someone to make a fake photo of a guy with a helmet eating a burger. Maybe his head is too big to fit into any helmet on earth or something.
My dreams may be crushed, but we think the proof is safe enough to call this a hoax, making me the greatest helmet-wearing hugh cheeseburger eater on the planet!!! If Badlands Booker wants to put it to the test, bring him down to Sanford. I’ll take him on in the Challenge…That is, if he will wear the helmet.
We are currently working on a flash file of this proof, though none of us are graphic designers, so we may have to call in experts…Byron, where are you?

Alrighty. It is finished. I hope this helps in our pursuit of the truth.

Man you’re good. You must have listened in class and stuff…
Do you think a lot of work was put into putting the helmet on him to begin with? If so, why?

I don’t think it took much work. If I had to guess, I think the helmet was there and whoever took the picture took a picture of the helmet also. The key to a good doctored photo is to have images taken by a similar camera…of course this can be fabricated with Photoshop.
This example I made this morning in a bout 30 minutes or so.
