TMZ reported that John F. Kennedy was frolicking on a yacht with a harem of naked women. The Smoking Gun identified the truth behind this and reported that The TMZ hoax was billed as an "exclusive" featuring a photo that "could have altered world events" had it surfaced prior to JFK’s presidential campaign. The site added: "It could have torpedoed his run, and changed world history"

Look at the above colour photograph which appears on 1967 Playboy photo spread. And below one the black and white photograph which appears on TMZ report. Both these photos are identical.
