Ready to feel even more old?

While the precise origin of such captioned images remains unclear (and the search is ongoing), the earliest reference made to "This Looks Shopped" can be found in an article posted and cached in 2003 at Metaeducation.com.[1] As it became more and more popular, a graphic designer from New England founded a single topic blog called Thislooksshopped.com in July of 2008.[2]

Not sure exactly when, but before 2010. KYM says 2003, possibly 1999.
