15 MORE Images You Won't Believe Aren't Photoshopped
|
Sometimes, real life is stranger than Photoshop. This is the second in our series about jaw-dropping pics that make you shout "FAKE!" the moment you see them, but in fact are not. Even if, in some cases, we really wish they were ... #15.
Night of the Lepus
We couldn't tell if this was the most horrifying or most adorable thing we'd ever seen, until we learned the backstory. First terrifying detail: it is real. There's even video. This species of giant gray bunnies are bred by a guy in Germany ... for food. Look people, we're going to say it extra slow this time, and we're going to link every word to evidence: Germany. Is. Freaking. Weird. If you choose to travel there, please don't return with photographs. #14.
Hannah Montana Gummi Cocks
Speaking of disturbing food, what is clearly a gummi dong to our eyes is supposedly a guitar. But yes, the candy is real and yes, the flesh-colored phalluses are in every bag. #13.
Miners from Lilliput Explore the Interior of a Geode
Okay, that doesn't even look like a good Photoshop. Yet, it's a real photo, taken in the Cave of Crystals in Mexico.
It's believed that the combination of mineral rich water and high temperatures resulted in super charged growth of the crystals. So Lex Luthor's plan in Superman Returns wasn't retarded after all. #12.
The Streets As Seen by Salvador Dali
This melting building is actually just a regular building covered in a huge tarp with the Dali-esque design painted on it. It's covering an apartment building undergoing renovation in Paris.
Hats off to the French. In a single stroke they hide unsightly construction and fool all passersby into thinking someone spiked their espresso. Now if they could only figure out why people keep plowing their cars into buildings undergoing renovation in Paris. #11.
The Penis Extension Most Likely to Accidentally Castrate You
While this looks like a pretty ingenious photoshop mocking the Swiss Army Knife manufacturers, the reality is far, far stupider: it's an actual Swiss Army Knife so huge as to be utterly useless for any task. It features a whopping 85 tools, including something that looks like it's for circumcising a baby. On whole, the knife is nine inches wide and weighs two pounds. Here's an important outdoorsmen tip: When your knife has a handle three times wider than the blade is long, you're not carrying a knife, you're carrying a paperweight. One that's far more likely to stab you than anyone else. #10.

This billboard from Indonesia is a creative effort by the Formula Toothcare company to illustrate the fact that their toothpaste builds strong teeth, though there's a special bonus message for very young children: people in pictures can only come alive if they're very big and hungry enough to eat you. #9.
A Rare Shot of the Endangered African What the Fuck is That
That dayglo smiley hovering in the air in the middle of the jungle is actually a Bird of Paradise engaging in a completely ridiculous mating ritual. The markings are actually on the bird's chest feathers, which it can puff up to display the pattern.
It'd be like being born with a shitty fad t-shirt permanently stuck to your body. #8.
German Figures Out the Secret to Levitation, Refuses to Share
This seemingly faked photo can easily be explained away as sorcery. Unfortunately, it's actually a street performer named Johan Lorbeer, who stands in a harness hanging from a fake arm that's attached to the building.
The real magic is that the support system up there doesn't crush his nuts. |

Wait if they are breeding giant rabbits for food there must be some giant rabbit skulls floating around out there. Now thats something I would be interested in!
The french tarps are f*****g hilarious. I wonder how in the hell they get those on and off.

The Japanese bottle of "Pet Sweat" isn't Engrish at all. The Japanese writing right underneath it says, literally, "Petto Suwetto", which is as close as Japanese can come to writing "Pet Sweat".
I translated the text cracked wrote for #3 into chinese, and back. I came up with some odd results:
"Worth only some of the moaning is real. Photos of this restaurant made the rounds during the Summer Olympic Games.
Obviously there are great restaurants to promote access to English for their signs to meet the needs of tourists, but at least one English-speaking businesses do not have a friend, they may be required. Therefore, they inserted into Babelfish and ... you can imagine the story, it must include at least one of the company who just signed did not give a dog feces."
I then had the idea to translate the description for the Pet Sweat photo to japanese and back. I'm beginning to wonder about google translate:
"Man, please use the imagination. Wait a sweat, or is the dog? Here lie the smell. This is actually a spinoff of the popular drink in Japan is called Pocari Sweat. We either do not know who I Pocari, and go on ahead, he would assume that the sumo wrestlers."
Thanks to a commenter in the "Translate Server Error" link for the idea.
I love the "individual pouches for portion control"
Ah! What a cute rabbit!
I saw an article in a newspaper about that photo from Birmingham Int. Airport. Funny s**t happens there... funny s**t
The rabbit is a Flemish giant. You can pick one up for like 30 bucks at a rabbit show. They are pretty awesome. One of my friends had one that was 24 pounds and 3 feet long from head to tail.
That bird is the original shoop da whoop
god bless Birmingham airport, they told me I couldnt take a guitar on a plane to greece because i could strangle someone with the strings. I told them, "hey, if i wanted to kill someone with my guitar, i'd smash the f****r over their head!" I was asked to leave and not come back. Now i'm sad.
#9 I saw that bird in a movie in science class. I was like "what the f**k is that thing doing?"
Topless girls jump from airplane... Woohoo, pert nips!

booty sweat was the drink in tropic thunder
Pet Sweat... wasn't that the name of the drink from "Tropic Thunder"?
shut up thanks.
Ok so, the garbage shadow art......I dont believe it. Yeah I know its real.....but I still refuse to believe it. In my worldveiw/universe its fake, its just gotta be. Even if its real.
that "levitation" trick that the street performer does is very similar to the levitation thick performed by a cretain order of monks, if it can be adapted to hang from a wall I wonder how else it could be used...
chicoboy, the images on your website are hosted at cracked.com. Fail.
Indeed.

I have seen Pocari Sweat drinks in lots of Asian shows (not just Japanese). It's a sports drink. "Pokkari" means lightly or something.
(Just to be sure my inferencing skills haven't failed--I double checked with wiki.)
But that cheap version in the picture (#2) reminds me of things like Channel bags and Dolce & Cabana sunglasses.
