Looks like Maine Coon cat. Those critters get huge. Four years to grow to adult size.

Undetermined.

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..

 
rhiannon [TotalFark] 2009-07-05 04:03:01 PM  
So some of these have real images, then it says it's false because the story behind them isn't correct. Ok.

 
Jesterian 2009-07-05 04:03:39 PM  
That last image.. Awesome taste indeed.

 
morbo 2009-07-05 04:03:51 PM  
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.

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.

You might want to check to see that it's been declawed first.

That was dumb, was it true that they were fake or true that they were real?

Is that code for tested for AIDs? If so, don't care.

The one with crab on the garbage can is real. It's a coconut crab aka robber crab and I hear they are very, very tasty.

In all fairness, the trailer park pic isn't shopped, it's just out of context.

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.

This is the work of Li Wei. Astonishing photos that look very real. His home site appears to be down at the moment, but there are a few to be found here - LINK (new window)

Don't visit his home site and portfolio unless you have an hour to kill - once you start looking at his work, it's hard to stop.

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 thought that was a Coconut Crab and, you know, proven by science and sh*t.

I gave up after the second one, because of the insane UI. What idiot thought that up? And what bigger idiot paid for it?

SwingAwayMarell: I thought that was a Coconut Crab and, you know, proven by science and sh*t.

It is, and it's a real picture, as far as I know. Coconut crabs get VERY large, and are actually used to guard some plantations because they're just goddamn scary.

I am not a medical doctor, but I can tell you with 100% certainty that it's true.

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.

My brother has one, he's around 21 pounds. Big fluffball and probably the mellowest animal I've ever met. He goes outside, hangs out and is very social.

You got twice as far as I got. The UI wouldn't even let me open the 2nd picture without crashing FF.

Well, I HOPE that first one is a Shop, otherwise some woman has nips that are pointing down rather then out.

Still a creepy photo no matter how you slice it.
