I don't really understand any of you farkers complaining about the first picture.
I think it's wonderful.
I'm going to go look at it some more.

What is that? If they wanted splice someone in to add color (pun...now intended :D) they could have used a less creepy angle/expression.

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.

TRUE

Barakku: A slideshow 50% made up of doubled images? The first one is "undetermined"? Wth?

The first of each set of pictures asks you "true or false" (lower left hand corner) The second one gives you the answer..... Don't worry, I missed it at first also.

As a UI Designer, I'm going to go out on a limb and say the actual user experience was an afterthought for their designer...

//Or they were stoned senseless, which is definitely feasible considering the industry..

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'll admit it: I thought it was Photoshopped because he bore such a striking resemblance to the paint huffer guy.

miltonbabbitt: 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.

Wow, good stuff.

Yeah, I liked how the one with the trailers was "false" even though it was a real staging for a play. With no other context how is that false? It wasn't otherwise manipulated (unless I missed something subtle).

That's some really neat stuff. I admire someone who has that much whimsy and storytelling ability combined with photographic talent.

Be honest. How many of you wharrgarblers thought this was real?

Skail: 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.

What? Can they actually attack people?! That thing looks like a horrible tarantula-lobster.

That was shiat. Why waste your time putting that together?

budsterr: Be honest. How many of you wharrgarblers thought this was real?

you posted evidence and they still think it's real. That's classic wharrbarbler....

After fruitlessly trying to explain to the "LOL, TRY TO BAN THAT OBAMBI!!! SHE'S GOT U IN HER SIGHTS!!!!11" crowd that real M4 carbines don't have their barrels plugged with white gunk, and don't come with a power cord, I'd say a lot.

budsterr: Be honest. How many of you wharrgarblers thought this was real?

I'm surprised at how many on the left thought it was real, and were going all ZOMG NRA BBQ! on it, and most ppl I knew on the right were going, "yeah, right..."

Most of those had nothing to do with photoshop. Either they were staged or were mislabeled, which doesn't make the photo fake. The whole true/false thing is not very clear.

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

me too.

thats messed up!

Not really, because they aren't fast or vicious, but you wouldn't want to put your finger in its claw.

What a strange comment.

I could tell right away this was fake:


Who the hell serves risotto at a soup kitchen? That's a little too time consuming and you have to watch that shiat like a hawk and stir it consistently.

/Hey, you learn more stuff from Alton Brown than you do Rachel Ray!

I've made a careful study of the first picture and I'm going to say those are real.

budsterr: Be honest. How many of you wharrgarblers thought this was real?


I didn't think it was real because that is an airgun, and Palin wold use a real rifle.

What is snopes.com has the been a hoax, all this time!?

Worst. UI. EVER.

It's a FATS system. Probably a broken one. Think Nintendo Duck Hunt, but expensive. And broken.

"Miriam's Kitchen, a social service agency in Washington D.C." is the soup kitchen that serves risotto according to Snopes. It's kind of disingenuous to say the photo is fake when she is in fact serving free food at a homeless shelter.

budsterr: Be honest. How many of you wharrgarblers thought this was real?

I'd nail the chick on the left, for what it's worth.

Oh the crab is real...but is the garbage can?

I believe Alton said that you don't have to keep stirring the risotto...

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.

Chelsea Clinton Is Carrot Top's Lost Twin: YouPeopleAreCrazy: I gave up after the second one, because of the insane UI. What idiot thought that up? And what bigger idiot paid for it?

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

Didn't crash, but damn, worst gallery UI ever. Gave up after I clicked on the home depot Jetta.

I read up on coconut crabs and according to the all mighty wiki, they taste quite a bit like - wait for it - crab meat.


Wikipedia. Is there nothing it can't do?
