17 More Images You Won't Believe Aren't Photoshopped
This is the fourth installment of our series where we prove that sometimes, real life is stranger than Photoshop (see Part One, Part Two and Part Three).
So enjoy our continuing 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 ...

That car rendered from what looks like vector graphics from an old-school arcade game is a wire-frame sculpture by artist Benedict Radcliffe. And we mean an actual frame made of wires.

Reportedly, it received a ticket for being illegally parked, though if we had been there we'd have quickly gotten another ticket for climbing inside, picking it up and running down the street making engine sounds.

What appears to be the background for a cheesy 80s album cover is actually an untouched photo from Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia, the largest salt flat in the world.
It frequently floods with a shallow layer of water, allowing that dude pull off the Jesus move in the picture. Apparently it's a popular tourist site for the natural beauty, leading to construction of a salt hotel, which we suppose makes it the worst vacation destination in the world if you're a slug.

Take the people out of this photo, and it looks like a bad painting. It's the wave rock formation in Arizona, formed out of ancient sand dunes and creating that crazy depth perception-destroying optical illusion.
We're not kidding, every damned picture of this thing looks fake. Including some that look like freaking finger paint.


There are marketing geniuses, and then there are the kind of visionaries who look at the ugly security fence on their storefront and decide it sort of looks like a guitar amp. Thus the Guitar Store in Southampton just went all the way with that idea, complete with big-ass knobs and everything. We want to hire that guy to decorate our adult book store.

The lady whose midsection appears to be in the process of getting sucked into a black hole is Cathie Jung, who, as you can see, has an entire website based around the fact that her body is terrifying to look at.
Thanks to a lifetime of wearing increasingly smaller and more ridiculous corsets, she has a 15-inch waist and presumably a liver that's been flattened to the thickness of a Fruit Roll-up.

If you're not clear what's so remarkable about this triangle sculpture thing, look closer and follow the surfaces from one angle to the next. That's right, it's utterly impossible, with its MC Escher design that seems to break all laws of the known universe.
When this sculpture--located in Perth, Australia--is viewed from another angle you can see the complicated way it manipulates perspective to get the effect...

...but what we love about it is there's no plaque explaining what the sculpture is all about either, so nobody knows what the fuck it's supposed to be unless they're standing in exactly the right spot.

OK, this one just looks like some joker practicing their reflection effects by cutting and pasting this ridiculous rubber ducky into a harbor full of boats. But, no, artist Florentijn Hofman did it the hard way, creating an actual 100-foot long rubber ducky and sticking it in the water like God's bathtub.

Why? According to the artist, "The friendly, floating Rubber Duck has healing properties: it can relief mondial tensions as well as define them. The rubber duck is soft, friendly and suitable for all ages!"
In other words, "To terrify children."

This ridiculous photo has been bouncing around the internet for years, and simply looks like a semi-competent attempt to make a normal truckload of corn husks look ridiculous via Photoshop's Clone Tool.
But unless Reuters got really, really bored one day, it's a genuine pic from Somalia. They basically don't have a government there so no traffic laws are enforced (you can seriously drive on whichever side of the road you want).
With the oppressive "limit how much corn you cram into your truck" regulations off the table, the locals cheered and said, "Yeah! Just cram all the corn on there! Keep going!"

This building in Ukraine does in fact have a gigantic, 100-foot-tall, crossword puzzle on the side. Yes, you can actually work it, though we assume if you try to do it with some rope and a can of spray paint, some guys will shoot you.
The clues are hidden around the city, and each night the answers are projected onto the side with lights.

ReplyI'm sure this has been brought up a few times, but the COCKS thing is pretty common here in South Carolina. At some point, I think they just took the cocks thing and ran with it; nothing like seeing an overweight middle-aged man with COCKS emblazoned on his shirt, although it gets a little unnerving seeing a teenage girl with a shirt that says WE LOVE COCKS in big white letters.
ReplyThanks for the Lost spoiler you dickheads. I only just got to the end of the 3rd season!
ReplyThe cheerleader one is definetely real. I live in south carolina, and usc (not southern california, don't say that here or they will beat you), is a huge deal. It is common (and hilarious) to walk into any classroom at my high school and see at least 3 people with "GO COCKS" emblazoned on their sweatshirts.
ReplyNo 5 huge dong really? Looks like average size to me. Compared to the rest of the body of course.

ReplyRick J, I feel the need to aliviate the burden of ignorance that shrouds you. First of all the word god does exsist go ahead look it up, I'll wait. Now that you have discovered that god is in fact a word, I can move on to my next point. The concept of god is also real too. Let's take an example of the word democracy. This word is describing a system of government in which the people control, correct? Now this is only an idea, it is only a thought. All the other things built around it are to try and put that idea into practice. But you can't touch democracy, it is only an idea which is pushed forward by people. This is just as true for god. Even if there is no tangible almighty being, the idea of the almighty being, aka god, does exsist. Also, this is a comedy website, and perhaps not the place to discuss religious opinions; save that for drunken family reunions.
