Developers have been mercilessly mocked over a 'ridiculous' CGI planning picture that makes a 'bird-poo covered' canal look like the Med, features Inception-style errors and 'children in need of social services'.
Paul Smith, the managing director of a land promotion company, thought the image was so funny he shared it on Twitter last weekend where dozens of people poked fun at it.
The 42-year-old pointed out there is 'no way' anyone would be putting their feet in Manchester's Bridgewater Canal, as the image shows a woman 'idly' dipping her toes in the 'bird muck-covered' water.
