My old profile pic, shooped or not?

The first pic to click, answer is "Undetermined". Rather defeats the point doesn't it?

Screw the rest of the images, the "photo-realistic" head sculpture is awesomeness..

So some of these have real images, then it says it's false because the story behind them isn't correct. Ok.

That last image.. Awesome taste indeed.

So the question asked was: "Has this image been doctored?" Yet a good percentage of the "false" pictures were not doctored, they just had misleading descriptions, which they didn't include with the "true or false" picture. That's some good reporting there, Lou.

For some reason I remember this from a Fark photoshop contest...

/hot

Alright, I think they need to adjust their definition of "true".
The pic of the whale shark is a real photo, it hasn't been doctored, it was just presented as something it was not.

This one is actually TRUE however its misleading. He is suspended by cables. But that was the actual view. So he isnt flying out the window, but he is suspended by cables outside

I love how they ask 'True or False' then say it was false because the original caption stated it was something else without presenting us with that original captions until afterwards.
Morons.

For the record I spoted every photoshop but the one with the people running from a big wave... isn't that the tidal bore thing that happens all the time? But they've labeled it false... I bet it's because of the caption that was orignaly with it that they failed to give us.

rhiannon: So some of these have real images, then it says it's false because the story behind them isn't correct. Ok.

I came here to say this. The original question was "Has this image been doctored?" not "Is the story behind this image true?"

The True/False designation was really confusing, also, in view of that question.

So in other words, FAIL.

It's actually an EST 2000 system. We use them in the Army, and they work pretty well for guys who need to brush up on their fundamentals. There's always a few guys who can barely score the minimum on a live-fire qualification, and it gives you a heads-up on what they're doing wrong, i.e. poor sight picture, rough trigger squeeze, unsteady position, constantly changing their eye relief, etc.

We'd usually go to the EST shoot-house a few days prior to a live-fire qualification range, just to knock the rust off, and to identify our problem children. You know, the guys who are still hitting less than 50% of their targets and you're running out of daylight, while everybody else who shot Expert or Sharpshooter is sleeping on the bus, waiting for them to score the bare minimum so you can farking go home.

You're missing something: they didn't stack the wood on at a "ridiculous angle" like that, and when he tried to drive off the load slipped (you can see how the twine is streched backward), and the impact of all that weight rolling down the black is was destroyed the suspension.

It's real, again, like everyone else has said. It was a huge sensation on the Vortex forums when it happened.

I'm not sure what awesome powers you think a rear spoiler on a Jetta has, but regardless, you're just not understanding the picture.

You're just not understanding that the rear tires would be firmly planted into the ~1/8th inch steel of the rear fenders, with thousands of pounds of force.

If you loaded 3000 lbs of lead into any MK3 Volkswagen, and shoved the wheels far beyond the point of contact with the inner wheel well, the car would be undrivable. The front tires would simply spin.

Sure, the picture could be viral, unphotoshopped nonsense. They would have to cut out the rear wheel wells, mount the lumber precariously (probably while reinforcing the left rear C-pillar so the glass didn't break), and jack up the front end with suspension blocks or similar shenanigans because the car simply wouldn't lift the front end like that (note concrete and lumber place in front of the rear axle).

It doesn't really matter though, because it would still be fake viral nonsense.

The truth is probably something along the lines of "removed rear springs and shocks, put in concrete, photoshopped on lumber".

Road_King: Phase plasma rifle in a 40 watt range?

Naw. M41A caseless 10mm Pulse rifle with 30mm grenade launcher.

Biggest waste of a greenlight ever.

Road_King: Puddinhed: bighairyguy: Dick_Hertz: budsterr: Be honest. How many of you wharrgarblers thought this was real?

I knew it was a B-B gun immediately !!!

A Crosman 760 no less!

/Technically, a pellet gun

Fools, all of you. It is obviously a water cooled laser carbine.

Phase plasma rifle in a 40 watt range?

No, that's the Uzi 9mm.

dirkfunk: rhiannon: dirkfunk: Even that is too optimistic since it is a Jetta Trek or GT and therefore has a rear spoiler, making the ridiculous angle even stupider.

I'm not sure what awesome powers you think a rear spoiler on a Jetta has, but regardless, you're just not understanding the picture.

You're just not understanding that the rear tires would be firmly planted into the ~1/8th inch steel of the rear fenders, with thousands of pounds of force.

If you loaded 3000 lbs of lead into any MK3 Volkswagen, and shoved the wheels far beyond the point of contact with the inner wheel well, the car would be undrivable. The front tires would simply spin.

Sure, the picture could be viral, unphotoshopped nonsense. They would have to cut out the rear wheel wells, mount the lumber precariously (probably while reinforcing the left rear C-pillar so the glass didn't break), and jack up the front end with suspension blocks or similar shenanigans because the car simply wouldn't lift the front end like that (note concrete and lumber place in front of the rear axle).

It doesn't really matter though, because it would still be fake viral nonsense.

The truth is probably something along the lines of "removed rear springs and shocks, put in concrete, photoshopped on lumber".

I think they were saying it was all on top at first, and slid down, destroying the rear end of the vehicle as it went. And that Home Depot pretty much knew it would do that, but the poor engineeringly-challenged driver didn't.

Good to see you're actually somewhat reasonable with your position actually. Some yahoos would refuse to believe anything but their first erroneous assumption. And they are all over the political spectrum with their nonsense.

Of course it's not drivable. That's not a picture of a moving vehicle.

Seriously, believe it, it's not a shop at all.

TuxedoTshirt: Alright, I think they need to adjust their definition of "true".
The pic of the whale shark is a real photo, it hasn't been doctored, it was just presented as something it was not.

That was retarded. Of course it's a real picture, and they get way way bigger than that. Then they say it's false because it had a false caption that they failed to even mention.

TRUE

Coconut Crabs. Cuz they eat, ya know, coconuts.

Reyals: I love how they ask 'True or False' then say it was false because the original caption stated it was something else without presenting us with that original captions until afterwards.

Next person who repeats this is in big trouble.

BIG TROUBLE.

dirkfunk: You're just not understanding that the rear tires...

You kinda had me going, but at some point the wheels just came off.

Cuchulane: LOL. Brilliant!

Woah! Thanks for the TF subscription. You rock!

Have we covered that that was a terrible slideshow? Because that was a terrible slideshow.

And anyone who thinks the crab picture is fake: look at the building in the background. That trash can is only about knee-high.

morbo: chairman_mao1287: Anybody remember when like the University of Nebraska or like University of Wisconsin-Madison or one of those uber white schools shopped a black kid into the stand for a pamphlet? Is there a link to that pic? That was epic.



There you go

I get it. He's on the left because left is the opposite of right, so the black kid is wrong. He isn't in the front so at the very least he is a second or third-class citizen....because hes a colored.

Mister Peejay: It is real. Search for overloaded Jetta and you will see photos of it from multiple angles.

"The car is a VW Jetta with Florida plates."

!

They're still real to me dammit!

*sobs*

dirkfunk: Mister Peejay:

The trunk was full of bags of cement, too, IIRC.

Well... It's on the internet so it must be real.

Take one front wheel drive car. Firmly attach the rear tires into the wheel wells. Try to move forward.

Look, I'm just telling you that the situation in that picture is about as likely as a ~60% Ahmidinnerjacket victory in the Iranian elections.

I modified, and wrenched on VW's for years. What is happening in that picture, and any additional pictures, is faked.

It's not MOVING. It was insanely overloaded, and the load (attached with plastic string) shifted rearward, and crushed the rear wheels into the wheel wells. The "smoke" is called exhaust fumes, probably on a cold day.

Gairloch: That was dumb, was it true that they were fake or true that they were real?
/and what's the point of including "undetermined"?

This

Number 45 (the whale shark) was a bait and switch..it was a real picture
of a whale shark but false only when combined with tagline revealed too late

"This image was emailed with a document claiming it was a giant catfish which had been caught after swallowing a human. The 'Cat fish' is actually a whale shark and has done no such thing."

skinink: By the looks of her boobs I think she speaks excellent Russian, or could be taught in a matter of seconds.

By the looks of it I would say it's a fake....those two women were not at the wedding.

May I spooge on your face: bingo the psych-o: SwingAwayMarell: I thought that was a Coconut Crab and, you know, proven by science and sh*t.

If it's a Coconut Crab why does it have a hamburger for a butt?

Your argument is invalid.


moar funny pictures

Dam that guy is so lucky one he is getting a wife with giant boobs, and that she also likes showing them off.

I've always loved that wedding picture.

So because one of the photos is of the set of a play, it's not real?

bingo the psych-o: SwingAwayMarell: I thought that was a Coconut Crab and, you know, proven by science and sh*t

It is a Coconut Crab, And they get big, but the mistake most make is that is not the 3 ft tall garbage can most believe it is, but a smaller 10 gal or so version, maybe 18 to 24 inches. (the little issue of lack of scale thingy)

Still a farkin big crab, just not a monster

Fark-N-Noodle: skinink: By the looks of her boobs I think she speaks excellent Russian, or could be taught in a matter of seconds.

Actually it is real, I remember it was a news story about a woman in England who wanted to be the princess of her wedding and have everyone look a her.

Cold_Sassy: kabloink: It's still hard to believe the Michael Jackson one was real. I know he just died I should show some respect, but he really did look like a freak in that picture.

I agree 100 percent. I am totally astounded by the reaction to Michael Jackson's death. Less than two weeks ago he was a washed-up outcast pedophile freak and now strange people are crawling out of the woodwork to pay homage.

It's bizarre. Just my opinion, YMMV, etc.

Homage? It's disgusting, you're all drunk...

This website is stupid. How can a picture be true or false? What the hell question am I answering when I say true or false?

you're mum: This website is stupid. How can a picture be true or false? What the hell question am I answering when I say true or false?

The answer to both of your questions is yes.
