Because of your blog and that picture thousands of enthusiast are believing Bitcoin is being accepted by Panwala and therefore spreading same to other thousands who will spend to other ten thousand. I think, you've started this vicious cycle of false publicity which might actaully make some panwala accept Bitcoin. If you've verified its authenticity then prove else apologize to community because we believe whatever you say.
God.... You think any tasteless comment made by you can be glossed over by calling it sarcasm, whereas a really humorous picture which is obviously photoshopped needs an explanation / apology. I would hate to disappoint you, but the world in general is smart and does not accept information from the net at face value. You would be hard pressed to find the "thousands" spreading misinformation to "other ten thousand".
