Please. 'Shopped. No duck would do that for less than a Benjamin.
I admit, I've not seen this.
If it's photoshopped, they did a darn good job of it - the shadows line up and everything. :-P
Mom should be ashamed teaching her ducklets to pock peck.
I mean Peck Pock. QUackers
Distract the "mark" with some eye-candy while the con-artist does the job. 'Tis one of the oldest tricks in the business...
So if I hand someone baby ducklettes, I can get their money easier? *contemplates* Baby ducklettes, money... baby ducklettes, money... Sorry, I gotta keep the ducklettes. *runs away with handful of feather floooof*
this gives me an idea! where did my cat go.....
Verrrry cute, but mama must be a vampire duck, because she's not showing up in the mirror (or am I mistaken?)!
Never mind, closer inspection shows it's plexiglass... Drat those fake vampire ducks!
You know--I haven't seen this either.
'tocks up little Quackersons!
I think the duck's feet look a bit, well, dried up? Like it hasn't worn them outside in some time? Ducket tocklets are cute, though.
I see a reflection of the big ducky in the glass.
Ducks these days, with their loud quacking and eating all the time and peckpocketing ... This what happens when ducks are allowed to run amuck!
*tsk tsk*
I'm pretty sure the momma duck is a fake duck, look at the feet. I think the picture was for some bank.
Anyways here's more info.

Kiskasmom: A Vampire duck! Haha quick somebody call Dangermouse! He'll save the gullible lady!
oi! a rule six, sevuhn, and thirty-dos!
So thats how he pays the bills when your injured and can work!
AFLAC!!!
Darn, Rafel beat me to the Aflac joke! ;-) I was going to say that the AFLAC company must have fallen on hard times, but I like yours better. :-P
i must live under a rock, cause i have never seen this.
If you look carefully, you can see the duck's reflection. I doubt this was shopped, but it probably was a set up! :)
Aw, an ad? That's cool. It's still mischievously cute.
I live under that same rock, carmen.
Oh, and yay for "Cute animals" being the number one search on Yahoo today, esp since CO is the first site that pops up.
I don't know why a duck would do this.. In fact I have it on good authority that "Ducks eat for free at Subway"
r.i.p. mitch.
this is funny...
does it matter if it is fake or not, cute is all that matters!
And that's cute.
does it matter if it is fake or not, cute is all that matters!
And that's cute.
I thnk it's funny how everyone is commenting on whether it's a real picture or not, etc.
STAGED! but real.
sheesh...now I'm doing it!
I too have been living under a rock. muy cute. The little duckling tocks made me happy.
AFLAC!
OMG, I did get this one from my Aunt! For reals. How did she know? (shifty eyes)
Clearly the duck needs the bucks to buy more fish food.
I wish that purse was plaid. Pretend, 'K?
Duck bills plaid purse.
The Aflac duck is grifting people right after the marketing folks decided to axe him.
(Though, he's back in business! http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/02/20/aflac-duck-to-quack-no-more/ )
pyrit, you're so clever!
So I read the article from Bxtn's post about this being staged, and while the mom duck looks rather fake, the baby ducks look surprisingly real. In fact, I choose to believe they ARE real.
Fluffy duck 'tocks!!!!!
A big bill peck pocking for big bills.
The snopes site says the ducks were props--NOT live ducks. The adult definitely looks stuffed to me. Enjoy your cute dead ducks! sorry to harsh the cute.
The decision to harsh the cute was yours.
Yah, yah, whatevs.
Laurie C. - (Blush) Thanks, but it was terri-bill.
For jools -
I'm in ur waddle-let, ab-duck-ting yer bills.
Meg - My eyes went straight to the wee 'uns widdle tocks-up too. Well, right after, Oh pretty lady!
Is nothing sacred? An ab-duck-tion of dollars througout the city of is Billings, Montana.
This is so funny! I like it. Anyway, keep sending in pictures like this.
Photos/ads like this, staged or otherwise, give duckers a bad name...we had ducks when I was a kid & our ducks NEVER stole money from us...though I never found the watch my mom gave me...hmmm...
tick tock ducks!
vewy kewt!
Is the aflac duck unemployed, that the wife must use the kids as decoys to keep the food dishes full , the rent paid . what does this all mean LOL
A duckie, a pocket
I've opened up ur wallet
Now I'm cleaning out your bills.
Lurvin' my babehs, u got ur thrills.
I'm not a poet
And I know it.
Sign.
hee. he's got bills in his bill. Nice double-billing.
You're right; I'm not sorry to harsh the cute when I see something I think is faked or a dead animal. Squeeing over dead stuffed animals seems just a little strange to me.
What about the woman? She's cute too!
That's true, I remember seeing this picture in my inbox and on Freeple back in November:
