16 More Images You Won't Believe Aren't Photoshopped
As we established in Part 1 and Part 2 of this series: Sometimes, real life is stranger than Photoshop.
This is the third edition in our chronicle of 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 ...

This undoctored photo is part of an art project--and possibly also an awesome assassination scheme--where they meticulously paint clothing to match the surroundings.

We can't imagine how much time they must have put into creating photos that, after all that effort, will be dismissed as Photoshop by nearly every single viewer.

This looks more like a painting than Photoshop, but it's actually an enormous, elaborate set from the opera Ein Maskenball with a scene depicting Death reading from the book of life.
Have you seen Quantum of Solace? Remember the opera scene where they're on that huge set shaped like an eyeball? That's from the same opera. So is this inexplicable image of naked, fat and very old actors in Mickey Mouse masks.
Man, why couldn't they have shown Bond chasing bad guys through that?

Sadly, this is a woman in England with a growth abnormality causing her legs to reach enormous size. It's a debilitating condition and we're not going to make fun of her. But still, look at those shoes.

We'd like to think that if you were in a speed boat race and Jesus called you to walk out on the water, he'd be cool with you slowing down first. At least for the safety of the other drivers.
Of course, in reality, the photo just captured this guy a split second before tumbling horribly into the water at inhuman speeds. According to a source that talked to the dude in the hospital afterward, all he was concerned about during his recovery was how to make one of his friend's speed boats go faster. Way to learn from your mistakes there, buddy.

Yes, an actual living dog. The above monstrosity is from the Super Groom competition, where the boundaries of animal abuse get relaxed, if only for a day. It's basically the Ace of Cakes of dog grooming, complete with what appears to be an airbrush paint job.

Despite our desire to keep our lunches down, we looked into this one a little further and discovered that it's a real product, made in China and elsewhere.
It turns out that Jew's Ear is a colloquial (and somewhat politically incorrect) name for a fungus also known as "jelly ear," which doesn't sound any more appetizing. We've squinted at the window in the packaging to figure out what the hell that stuff actually looks like. All we know is it doesn't make us want to eat it more.

Behold The Uno: a one-wheeler motorcycle invented by an 18-year-old. That's right, while you spent your senior year of high school trying to get a peek up the cheerleaders' skirts at basketball games, this dude went out there and completed some engineering slick enough to make every Segway owner jealous.
It operates just by tilting your weight forward or back to accelerate. Now we'd just like to see him pop a wheelie.

Yes, that's a real iceberg and no, it hasn't been painted. These icebergs were observed off the coast of South Africa. It turns out those stripes are caused by sediment or even dead krill getting trapped in the ice in layers over time.

We'd like to think of the process as deliberate, with the krill submitting themselves for cryogenic freezing until somebody invents a cure for being a tiny little shrimp. Hopefully technology won't let them down.








A warning for you non-Englanders - the Daily Mail is very, very rarely to be believed.
Replymeh they all are opinionated...this is probably the 6th worst
These articles are just further proof of how incredibly strange the Chinese and Japanese are.
ReplyI hope "shafts of sunlight" in number 1 was an intentional pun.
ReplyThe giant eye metoned in #15 wasn't from Ein Maskenball, it was actually from a different play as the link actually tells you. It was set up in 2007/2008 and the skeleton one was used in 1999/2000. Still amazing sets though.
Reply#15 is pretty cool to me :3 for some reason I have a huge fascination for giant skeletons in scenes like the one shown. Another example would be the doors that open to Hell in the anime Bleach ;o can't help but stare and think.. whooooa! O:
ReplyIf you go to the Philly Art Museum just for the Rocky statue, then you are a f*****g tourist and I hate you. That Dali exhibit was fantastic.
ReplyArt is gay,Rocky rocks
That meat gives new meaning to the phrase "cock meat sandwich."
ReplyAs many have said, #5 is the pygmy leaf chameleon, Brookesia minima, and is not a gecko. Geckos are substantially different in appearance, body structure, and habits. While it is the smallest chameleon, it is not the smallest reptile. That title belongs to the Jaragua sphaero (Sphaerodactylus ariasae), which actually IS a gecko. It measures just 16 millimeters.
Replythat was exactly what i thought as I read and then looked at the little reptile on fingertip photo lol. I was confused why they were calling a chameleon a gecko.
Oh my gosh, I could have stepped on one D:
'Gary Kasparov grieved by flying penis'.
Reply....Best headline ever.
the guitar shop is right next to my house! :D there's an accoustic one now too :)
ReplyIt's a chameleon in the Rhampholeon genus, not a gecko.
Replythe penis one and the iceberg c**k i saw in a book called it lookes like a c**k, look it up.
ReplyITs a chameleon, not a gecko
ReplyAccording to Wikipedia, the Rocky statue was moved to another location.
ReplyWikipedia is wrong.
The one-wheeled bike... never mind I wheelie, I wanna see him stop fast..?
ReplyActually I believed a lot of those weren't photoshopped.
ReplyThat was the point I believe.
I've seen #6 in the SCP Foundation!
ReplyThe lady with the giant feet is a British woman named Mandy Sellars, and she's in her thirties. She was featured in a documentary called (imaginatively) The Woman with Giant Legs. You can see the whole thing on YouTube. She's pretty kick ass, actually...she lives on her own and drove a car before her legs got amputated.
ReplyI have to be honest, if I found a horse the size of a pea in my house, I'd keep it in a shoebox and name it Sebastian.
