I want to reassure everyone that all the photos taken for the past three years on the 'Springfield Tour' have not been photo shopped or genetically modified.

Yeah- theres no way that Grant photo is not doctored. I suppose the "general public" might not know any better though. They wouldn't even know who Grant was.

Looks like a composite. I've seen elements of the picture in different places before.

Bill or Rob's wife took the photo.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

And that reminds me of a song
