- dvryaboy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+177Dugg.. but that's not what the word "Literally" means.
Maybe if it was photos of ice or something.. :-) - davidlow, on 10/12/2007, -3/+125The title was written illiterally.
- SteveMax, on 10/12/2007, -3/+118A person who uses words he doesn't understand cannot be trusted. Literally.
- meshgiath, on 10/12/2007, -2/+86Why the "literally" tag through?

(site was pulling slow for me, duggmirror seemed to have caught every pic) - Omega697, on 10/12/2007, -8/+67Buried as inaccurate. There are some photos right next to my computer that are at least several degrees cooler.
- sockpuppets, on 10/12/2007, -5/+54I wasn't going to share this until next month but here's a sneak peek:
SMURFTACULAR! - frant1c, on 10/12/2007, -3/+49"BREAKING" is so yesterday. "LITERALLY" is where it's at.
- crashflow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+38after looking at all the photos, my phone rang. I picked it up and some girl said "Seven days" then hung up.
What does that mean? - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -12/+45Not if you see this one:

Hey ***** he didn't modified the photo, he just uploaded it to imageshack, check the photo bottom for your crappy copyright thing. - Thater, on 10/12/2007, -1/+24Literally speaking, it's not as bad as this one...

Like “incredible,” “literally” has been so overused as a sort of vague intensifier that it is in danger of losing its literal meaning. It should be used to distinguish between a figurative and a literal meaning of a phrase. It should not be used as a synonym for “actually” or “really.” Don’t say of someone that he “literally blew up” unless he swallowed a stick of dynamite. - loneBoat, on 10/12/2007, -5/+27I literally DIE every time I see someone misuse that word!
- baxtermaddux, on 10/12/2007, -2/+24the most amazing thing i will see today huh? that not very ambitious since all i did yesterday was sit around drinking beer and eating rice.
- franksands, on 10/12/2007, -4/+25because "literally" is the new cruise control for awesome :P
- knightblade2oo4, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18i've seen better. i'll see you in court.
- nepawoods, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17He meant "literally" in a figurative sense, not literally literally.
- baxtermaddux, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16actually, i am scheduled for an afternoon high altitude blimp ride over topless beaches and coral reefs so i guess it does have a bit of competition
- PotatoSalad, on 10/12/2007, -6/+21The people from the deviantART community are some of the most vicious whiners I've ever seen. Yes, he should have given credit to the original artist, but that somehow brings "he's an *****" into the picture (excuse the pun)?
- eobiont, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14I was watching the weather forecast on the local news and the weather man and the news anchor were sitting at a desk. The weather man said, "The wind was biting cold today" to which the news anchor added, "literally." I had some fun picturing that. Maybe that would make a good photograph.
- bouche, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12The worst headline I'll see today (LITERALLY)
- SkeletaLlama, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12But did you do it in an amazing or an incredible manner?
- pwallroth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Coolest Creative Photos You Will See Today (FIGURATIVELY)

- TheJas, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11WOW! He piled sand next to books! That is incredible.
- azurechaos, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8photography/art doesn't have to provide commentary. sometimes it's just as simple as a beautiful image or intriguing concept.
- commiecat, on 10/12/2007, -6/+13The photos wouldn't have to be *of* ice. They would have to *be* ice.
- op12, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Some might call that ironic.
- kevinarth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I agree. I expected something based on ice or arctic landscape or something.
- BarryMcCawqiner, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8While they were mildly entertaining, they were also somewhat bland - kind of like the unoffensive art you might put on your office wall. Vaguely interesting, but safely conformist. The artist seems to have excellent technical skill, so hopefully he has much higher creative ambitions than those images.
- mediaphile, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5That's not a photograph.
- loup, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I could put my monitor in the freezer for a while, then the image would literally be cool (well, the medium that it is on would be cool at least)
- griz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Direct link to Photographer's website gallery...
http://www.chemamadoz.com/ingles/gallery1.htm? - cogitocogito, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6FYI, about the word "literally"... I remember a segment of "On Words" on NPR that debunks the idea that 'literally' means something like "according to the meaning of the word", and is opposed to words like "figuratively". "Literally", strictly speaking, applies only to translations. A literal translation is a word-for-word translation from one language into another (as opposed to a translation which tries to capture phrase meaning or tone). Any use of the word that doesn't involve translation is a figurative use. In fact, the most common use of the word "literally" in the century leading up until the last fifty years or so was as a marker to indicate that meaning was _not_ being preserved, i.e. that the phrase being uttered was figurative. (You can see the logic in this, as literal translations are notoriously bad at preserving sentence meaning). Fitzgerald and James, to name two authors, frequently use 'literally' to mean something like 'figuratively'.
- DarthTurducken, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Looks like a cross between the works of Magritte and clips from "The Ring" video
- Kirpernicus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Don't quite understand why this is #1 right now. Must be a slow day for news. Many of comments here are negative and don't reflect the amount of Diggs it's getting. The photos are pretty cool imo, but are not THAT great. Plus, the title is really, really dumb (literally).
- negativefx, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8very clever, i like. although it seems like he's a one trick pony! :)
- DreKor, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7I lived with a photography student in college. Our house was full of crap like this. Not that this is all crap mind you, but a lot of it is. Black and white pseudo-surrealism is a cop out for real photography. Sure, you can do studies in light, shadow, and form, but after a while it just gets old. You end up repeating yourself when you think you're simply exploring a theme.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I hate when people misuse "literally"
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Woah, try decaf.
I didn't know where the image originated from- I found it linked to on some random site, and therefore couldn't have credited the creator. - mediaphile, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I was hoping to see some ice.
- mtxe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3other than ice
it might have taken him 24 hours to load the page. - ChumpChief, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Ooh, I didn't catch the film strip when I first looked at it, but the violin has a razor blade in place of the bridge (bit under the strings).
- mark1372, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Were you expecting a little kitty jauntily dangling from a clothesline with a caption saying, "Hang In There!"?
- bamiller3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2When I read that headline, I couldn't help but hear Nicole Sullivan's (MadTV) voice in my head..........lllllllliterally.
- noguerol, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Errr...it's Chema Madoz, one of the most celebrated contemporary photographers.
- se7en11, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3You can't fool us. You're just referring to http://www.googlesightseeing.com/2006/11/28/top-10-naked-people-on-google-earth/
- pastaq, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Yes it does! I'm totally building that coffin clock.
