When we were in Singapore, we heard of the legend of the Merlion, a mysterious beast that supposedly haunts many tourists’ photos while in the Lion City. This hideous creature has scared off many possible tourists, for fear of being stalked and eventually photo-bombed by this fiendish rascal. The government of Singapore has launched an all-out search and war against this nefarious threat to the city’s tourist industry. When the whole RX staff was in Singapore a couple of weeks back, it was the height of the Merlion’s attack. Many tourists were afraid to come out of their hotels. The city streets were practically deserted. We were warned by the Philippine Embassy to stay away, but we risked it anyway. Here are a couple of photos from Reuters and the Associated Press that ALLEGEDLY shows proof that such a diabolical abomination exists. Photography experts are divided on the authenticity of the photographs. WARNING: NSFW. The following photos are not for the weak at heart. Also not for people easily offended.
