Once I took a picture that looks like a photo of an UFO.
Maybe any paper would pay a few pounds.
I mean, if the people want to believe in UFOs and want to see such pictures.......
That is an odd expression. But you could try the Daily Mail in the UK.Originally Posted by Imox
By the way, are there newspapers in Germany that are regarded as...less than totally high quality? (I was going to use the word "junk", but decided not to.)
Why don't you get CREATIVE and try entering photo in this competition (it closes 27th April.) Competition invites you to make up your own conspiracy...very easy....and much more honest than Newspaper exploitation.

Any chance of seeing this photo? If you say "all rights reserved" with it, it remains your copyright. I'm just interested to see how convincing it is.
Odd expression? How to say it better?
And we have papers like the Sun too. ( http://www.bild.de/ ) But I don't want to trick the people. I can't tell them there was an UFO if I know it's just somewhat like an optical illusion. Moreover, since all people have paint programmes on their computers, a photo hasn't much evidence nowadays.
@ SorryImPsychic
That's a very good idea. But it's difficult to win a competition. And at last, this competition is an advertisement campaign of this band. And they want many "believers". And maybe they wouldn't pay a flight from Germany to Las Vegas probably. But an I-pod isn't bad. I don't know. There are nice conspiracies on this page already. And my English..... I had to make a description.
Should I take part?
@ Mulder
noMaybe at this competition page.
I voted for one conspiracy for a test. But the guy had still 0%, also after my voting. Thus, there is no way for me to win something.
Imox - I deliberately take UFO photos ie, objects that look weird in the sky (particularly saucer shaped) when I know precisely what they are (which is never alien space ships). Mine often look much more convincing than 'real' UFO shots. That's why I was interested.
Let's see this picture Imox, sounds interesting. Dont tell us what it actually is, let us guess.
It's an UFO. Nothing to guess.
So, you don't know what it is either? Should be fun!It's an UFO. Nothing to guess.
Never mind trying to make some cash out of it - post it for us to see!
(Another minor language point ... where a word starts with a consonant-sounding "u", it takes "a", not "an", so "a UFO" or "a university", but "an understanding".)
Do I know when an U is consonant-sounding?
If you can tell me any paper which would buy my picture, then you may see it there.
When it's pronounced "you" rather than "uh", e.g. "you-eff-oh" or "you-niversity", but not "uh-nderstanding".
(I wouldn't normally bother to be a language pedant (other than for fun), but I got the impression you wanted to improve your English.)
Der Bild or The Sun would seem to be good choices, but I still don't think you've got much chance. If they want UFO pictures all they need to do is search Google Images.If you can tell me any paper which would buy my picture, then you may see it there.
And I think that it would have to be taken VERY recently - today or yesterday if they were to pay for it. Go on - post it up here. You're not going to get any money for it.
No? Not at all?F***!
@ Trinoc
How shall I know how you do pronounce the Us of this world? Moreover, I prefer the "an" cause it sounds better. If I could decide I would even say "an telly, an pen, an machine, an chair, an flower, an cloud......
Regarding the Bild-paper. It's "die Bild", never "der Bild", cause it's an abbreviation for "die Bildzeitung" and an gender is always determinated by the last part of an compound noun. Thus, it's "die Zeitung", and hence "die Bildzeitung".
But remeber, one simple picture is "das Bild". Just in case you want to improve your German.
