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 ... #16.
The Predator Checks a Map
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. #15.
The Scene of the Most Hardcore LARP in the World
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? #14.
We Can't Stop Staring at the Huge Shoes
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. #13.
"Screw Your Boat Race, I'm Outta Here"
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. #12.
Yes, That's a Dog
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. #11.
I Didn't Want "Instant," That's Gross
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. #10.
The Reason Your Car Insurance Rates Keep Going Up
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. #9.
What Icebergs Do to Hide Their Holiday Weight
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. |

16 is unbelievable. You have to realize that these people had to get the lighting on the clothes exactly right to match the lighting in the setting they were trying to blend with. Mindblowing.
12 - Poor dog. Too bad animals cannot commit suicide. This dog cannot even spare himself the suffering from this demented frizzy haired unqualified vet-looking woman.
5 - That dude needs a manicure.
The peniscopter and the ninja turtle dog make me pee a little I think
I rather liked the Uno. Mankind is now just one step away from flying cars.
Wheelz, the evil genius who poses as a Funyuns(tm) distributor.
I think ostrich racing would be fun I mean look at that guys face. He is rockin' the ostrich.

This is the Mail. Presumably, they want to repatriate these foreign, "swan-eating, freeloading, immigrant, pikey" lizards/geckos/chameleons to prevent them "clogging up our zoos"...
The Mail is talking s**t as usual: that's not a gecko, it's a chameleon. The giveaways are the body shape, the eyes, and the arrangement of the toes. However, I'm pretty sure that they can be the same size as a thumbnail.
I just wanted to explain that the rocky statue was moved down closer to the street because they said that it "was not art" which is bullshit, because it's a statue and it was probably getting them more business than anything else. This was also only a few years after it became 12 bucks a person to get into the museum instead of free!
Haha, what a nice way to discredit your site. There haven't been icebergs off the coast of South Africa for surely longer that what cameras are old.
Well done image editing anyway!
I'm pretty sure grooming your dog to look like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle qualifies as some sort of animal abuse.

I went ostrich riding last week in South Africa, it is just as awesome as it looks. It was without doubt one of the more bizarre things I've done in my life.
I wanna go ostritch riding!
i want a peniscopter
Nope, no Rocky statue on the top of the steps... but we do have a bronze square with his footprints in it. I went to the museum when they had the Dali exhibit open, and more weird than the shutter thing itself was all the people bending over sideways at the bottom trying to see it as one unbroken picture.
Really ?lol.........Just heard that he is ho-oking up with a nice gi-rl on the inter-esting cl-ub called: ____Tallmingle.COM____, really ? Sounds it is a famoaus on-line service.
@Interstella: My best friend is Jewish, and when he saw the "jew's ear" thing he burst out laughing. Granted, both he and I have a sense of humor that make this site look normal, but still.

The scariest thing on this page is the add for the photoshop pageant pictures.
The gecko in #5 is a chameleon from Madagascar. Sorry if this has already been posted, I am too lazy to ctrl+F this one.

The lenticular clouds pictures are just fricken awesome. I'd love for a chance to get a picture of that myself some day.
