In a marketing ploy for the movie Iron Sky the production's community manager,Jarmo Puskala, photoshopped a picture to appear as though there was a swastika shaped structure on the dark side of the moon.

"It was just the kind of news people browse conspiracy theory forums for, something that would change the world as we know it. And theyââ¬â¢d be the first to know. There was just one small problem. The news was published on a newspaper called ââ¬ÅThe Truth Todayââ¬Å."
....."Honestly, weââ¬â¢re all very flattered by this. I barely had 15 minutes to Photoshop that picture so Iââ¬â¢m really happy it stand up to scrutiny!
The story has now been moved from the conspiracy forums to the movie forum, wich is quite an elegant move from the moderators in a situation like this. Hopefully no one feels hoaxed, because we honestly never have tried to pass The Truth Today off as a real newspaper. And quite frankly I never imagined it even could be mistaken for a real news (something many commentators also pointed out)."
