  • Nobiting, on 11/10/2007, -14/+428Thank you for specifying that the photographs are [PICS]
  • inactive, on 11/14/2007, -10/+206Haha, I love the last one.
  • Fanrir, on 11/14/2007, -0/+162I can draw a quick conclusion from these photos: People seem to obtain the power of flight when around bulls.
  • moskaudancer, on 11/06/2007, -4/+98Well, they might've been (PICS).
  • aurrea, on 11/14/2007, -3/+82I'm going to be THAT GUY... because it is true this time.

    SHOPPED
  • jmp478, on 11/09/2007, -2/+61Most people just skim through the headlines. The "[PICS]" catches the eye.
  • RoyalPwner, on 11/05/2007, -5/+55Last pic is made of win.
    Also, the one with the guy about to faceplant into the pavement made me cringe.
  • acarr, on 11/14/2007, -4/+51i'm tired of you complaining
  • GuacamoleSan, on 11/06/2007, -2/+49kung-fu cat
  • briLo, on 11/14/2007, -1/+44That guys incredibly fast to run the 100metre dash on his hands.
  • EJXD2, on 11/05/2007, -6/+44That cat has been seen in other doctored photographs, so either the last pic is fake or they're all fakes.
  • peterjmag, on 11/14/2007, -1/+38You can tell by the pixels and you've seen some shops in your time.
  • KatherineC, on 11/06/2007, -5/+41Love it! The lady on the sled is awesome.
  • riah, on 11/05/2007, -1/+35Or even //Pics
  • OUChevelleSS, on 11/05/2007, -0/+31You mean the one where only the cat is blurry and it makes sense for a cat to be in a hotel room?
  • nunofgs, on 11/03/2007, -3/+33MAI MATRIX SKILLZ. LET ME SHOW U DEM.
  • SmackMyMac, on 11/05/2007, -0/+30Kung fu cat AND Invisible Paddle Boat
  • RubberBand, on 11/03/2007, -0/+28Is it just me, or does the basketball player in red have the whitest skin ever?
  • thefalloftrey, on 11/03/2007, -0/+28that's the one
  • thomashauk, on 11/05/2007, -1/+28It helps with the various filters and hacks
  • unearth, on 11/14/2007, -1/+27It looks like they put a rubber cover on it to stop people from being gored, and added ribs for her pleasure.
  • rstarr, on 11/03/2007, -0/+25http://www.xkcd.com/331/
  • Yashar, on 11/03/2007, -15/+40http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/output/motivator4872 ...
  • tradwolley, on 11/03/2007, -5/+29Posted for the Amazing 25th time [dupe]
  • joessandwich, on 11/05/2007, -0/+22Yeah, love how you can see the shadow of the flash on the wall from the guy but not the cat.
  • tyywebb, on 11/04/2007, -3/+19Must you ruin everyone's fun?
  • Bdog2g2, on 11/09/2007, -3/+19who pissed in your milk?
  • pintomp3, on 11/05/2007, -0/+16beef ribs are for everyone's pleasure.
  • joessandwich, on 11/03/2007, -0/+15Most of them are too high quality to be a frame from video.
  • lewikee, on 11/03/2007, -3/+16dugg for not being the same old "PICS TAKEN AT EXACT RIGHT TIME" pics.
  • r0b0, on 11/05/2007, -1/+14by faceplanting do you mean... diving? And by his face being squished, did you mean that the splash was beginning to form?
  • 11familyguy11, on 11/03/2007, -0/+12Oh wow. Your comment forced me to take a second look, at first I thought that guy was wearing long socks.....
  • scoobycarolan, on 11/03/2007, -0/+12i love all the /dev/null comments after the websuck diagram hit the front page
  • ItsMyWii, on 11/04/2007, -0/+11The guy's face in 9 was like O_O
  • bluechips23, on 11/03/2007, -5/+14The site's already in /dev/null. Please print the mirror soon.
  • suxmonkey, on 11/04/2007, -2/+11Some are photoshopped, all are awesome.
  • r2pro, on 11/04/2007, -0/+9It is a well known cat macro. Too bad they included that one. It really does spoil the rest of the batch.
  • SmurfyX, on 11/05/2007, -2/+11http://duggmirror.com/design/25_Amazing_Photograph ... MIRROR :D
  • YamiJim, on 11/09/2007, -9/+17Am i REALLY only the second 1 to have to cry photoshop on a good portion of those?
  • joot2112, on 11/03/2007, -1/+9No, you are the only one who skipped all the previous comments claiming they aren't real, which have already been dugg dozens of times, to post your very own comment to show how perceptive and skeptical you are. Want a cookie?
  • mrurc, on 11/06/2007, -0/+8At least 17, including the second one, lbox, were clearly taken by professional photographers.

    Professional photographers have cameras that take many, many shots per second if you hold the button down. They hold the button down until they run out of media, swap media and hold the button down again. Those pictures are one picture, each from one set of hundreds with each set containing thousands of pictures. The whole point is that if you take enough pictures, you come out with one or two perfect ones. So yes, those pictures are genuine. That one "lucky" shot is the result of sorting through thousands of what is basically stop-motion pictures. The bird picture is feasible.

    The trampoline picture would not be that hard. The squirrel picture is staged; the person held onto the nut forcing the squirrel to stay there for the picture. Seagull was staged and probably done repeatedly for a good shot. My uncle has taken pictures of bears eating fish jumping upstream, and I mean hundreds of them. They just stand there and wait and every so often fish jump into their mouths. Seriously.

    Crying photoshop doesn't mean that you have any clue at all.
  • mkameli, on 11/06/2007, -0/+7Man, that USC one cracked me up. The guy's face is priceless.
  • joessandwich, on 11/03/2007, -1/+8That is the life of an Irish person in flash photos. It sucks really, I look awful in pretty much every photo taken of me unless it's professional.
  • inactive, on 11/03/2007, -0/+7Your comment is useless without pics
  • lordsteve, on 11/03/2007, -1/+7I wish I could digg you twice.
  • Jahweh, on 11/04/2007, -1/+7I have to say that the last and 3rd to last pictures have to have been shopped, i have seen that cat in so many other pictures, mainly of one kicking a dog, and the firework is actually an image i have on my computer aswell. shame, but maybe he doesent know haha.

    awesome article though!
  • Elliuotatar, on 11/03/2007, -0/+6The last one is fake. I've seen that cat before without the guy in the image, (I think it was a different background too) and photoshopped into images of it kicking a dog.
  • NathanielJ, on 11/03/2007, -0/+6To those who insist they aren't fake:
    http://www.nerdtests.com/picsarea/c038d43cad252fa9 ...

    Whoops, looks like at least some of them *are* photoshopped.
  • CrasyMike, on 11/05/2007, -0/+6No, it's a bull with horns for horns
  • PawFox, on 11/03/2007, -0/+6Awwh Cute Foxy!!
