FAKECATION

Now you can pay to have a photo of yourself digitally altered to make it seem like you’re on vacation in an exotic place. A Nebraska-based photo-editing service named Fake A Vacation lets users send in snapshots to have them superimposed onto fake backgrounds. Options include a sandy beach in Maui, Niagara Falls, the Grand Canyon at sunset, or the Great Wall of China. Customers order their photo packages online; once it’s processed, they receive a link to send in photos. Fake A Vacation staff will suggest attire to wear in the pictures, which are then superimposed onto other backgrounds. Packages start at $19 and are processed within three business days.

* Can they fake a photo of me at a relative’s wedding I really don’t want to go to?
