#2  Aaaarrghhh! Last part of the third sentence should read:

"even though area '1' is in shadow and area '2' is not."

This is an enlargement of the lower right side of the dem-groupie's shirt, the last letters of "piece" "of" and "elephant". The alternating light and dark areas are shadows in shallow folds in the fabric. Note that the areas labeled "1" and "2" are indentical in apparent brightness, even though area "1" is in shadow and area "2". This effect, no apparent difference in brightness from shadowed to unshadowed areas, occurs throughout the lettering on the shirt.

While some of the letters are at varying angles, apparently following the contours of the shirt, not one of them is distorted by a change in contour within the letter. We can see from the surrounding areas of blue that there should be such changes of contour within the letters themselves. This is especially evident in the letter "a" in "are" at the beginning of the second line. This is crossed by an obvious fold but there is no distortion at all.

It's a fake.
