  • bryano, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16I always thought it would look like a lot of fun. Too bad I was expecting some fat guy running aimlessly after 100 kangaroos.
  • sselbor, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15No, actually, I haven't.
  • MasterThief117, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10That is a cool picture.
    I hear in Australia that kangaroos are like the deer of many places in the US.
  • allywilson, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8I couldn't help but read your comment and think "how did you manage to convey such simplicity?"
  • Rooster99, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8They always jump out of the way, and then just as you think you have past them, they just jump straight back into the middle of the road! Solid as hell as well so you end up with a huge dent! Dumb ***** roo's!
  • loganhid, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6i think we have a killer app
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Australian driving lesson: never swerve to miss a roo. There's 50 million of the *****, so every Australian can drive over two before we need to get worried.

  • MasterThief117, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5I dugg you up because I see what you mean.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Koalas are really hard to find. It's not like they grow on trees.
  • opticrime, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Every night, before I went to bed, I prayed that one day I might have the chance to see a photograph of kangaroos running away.
  • john2kx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4someone actually saw that movie?
  • aussieNickuss, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4WARNING: To all tourists....do not approach a male roo in the middle of the night while he's looking for food! They have one hell of a kick!
  • devindotcom, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3It mainly delivered on radial blur.
  • 3drage, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Buried as inaccurate. The guy wasn't chasing them.
  • ungamedplayer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Fyi, koalas are hard to find, because they are very rarely at ground level, and they are not noisy and blend pretty well into the areas where they are able to survive.

    In my younger days, I used to hunt wild boar in Central Queensland with only knife and a dog or two. Sometimes a dog can get pretty messed up from a pig, but I've never seen a dog come off best vs a koala.

    [dr tran]They will.. ***** you up.[/dr tran]

    When evolution creates koala bears that drop out of trees and attack people for food, it'll be game over. Thank goodness they only eat gum leaves right now.
  • Duncast, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Koalas ain't bears, they are marsupials. Didn't you ever listen to Peter Coon when you were a kid?
    Depends on where you live though, I can take my dog for a walk out back and see wild koalas easy. Kangaroos you've got to travel a bit further, but they are really quite common.
  • weyhan, on 10/10/2007, -3/+5Burried for passing a photoshoped pic as real pics. Common, that guy didn't even bother photoshoping the shadow in.
  • malliemcg, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I wish I saw less roo's.

    If you want to see the buggers drive across the Hay plain. Not much fun during dawn or dusk when they seem to appear out of no where.

    Canberra has lots too! Can hardly drive on a road without seeing at least one that got in the way of a vehicle.
  • seanroth, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Anonymous always delivers.
  • Haphazardness, on 10/10/2007, -6/+7I've always wanted to see kangaroo ass! Thanks!
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I thought it was McDonald's.

    Guess not: http://www.answers.com/topic/mcdonald-s-urban-legends
  • slapthemonkey, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1No, I have not!
  • john2kx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1i'm sure you'd see something similar if they actually were being chased.
  • aussieNickuss, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I've had to come to an almost complete stop on a (4 lane, high speed) freeway a couple of times cuz of roos. Your right....the moment you think they've gone, the bastards jump straight back out in front of you. And then they proceed to jump for hundreds of metres right down the centre of the road. "In your own time!!"
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I have seen wild kangaroos, but only ever seen koalas in the zoo.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I'm mainly saying "don't swerve because you'll crash the car", not "don't swerve because it's fun to hit them".
  • aussieNickuss, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I'm guessing you have a roo-bar installed on your car/ute/truck? A friend of mine has written off two Volvo's by hitting roos.
  • SlantyEyes, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2You mean taco bell?
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2...or like monkeys in India....
  • wildfire, on 10/10/2007, -5/+5So that's what it looks like just before being put in plastic wrap at the grocery store...
  • Dundasbro, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1That's not very nice... Kangaroos are quite awesome in my opinion. Every morning they are in my backyard standing around, they run at first sight of you though. Fast little buggers.
  • Bomster, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2That was so un-inspiring.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0That's true ! I was there when the roos were kicking AussieNickuss in his behind. Now his behind is all swollen and he is called AussieNickass.
  • Nicksname1, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1It was much better in my imagination.
  • BaltoAaron, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2Photoshopped.
    I agree with the 'no shadows' comment. At least on two of the roos.

    The motion blur seem shopped also. If you're driving down the road the road blur would be straight in line with the road movement relative to the camera. In the lower corners of the shot the road blur is at an angle from the road movement.
  • Niddik, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1This is a preview of EA's next title: "Need For Speed: Chasing Kangaroos"
  • spudfrog, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Drugs are bad, mmkay?
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1Mirror: http://www.favoritepart.com/Default.aspx?img=742&alt=favorite+Kangaroo+Chase
  • PATSCRU, on 10/10/2007, -3/+2The weight of failure will bury this submission into oblivion. Where the hell is the lava lamp guy?
  • thecurryfairy, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed!
  • DeadBabySoup, on 10/10/2007, -7/+6it delivered.........i guess
  • doctorfungi, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1I live in Australia, and I have yet to encounter a kangaroo, or a Koala bear for that matter. I haven't really given chasing one much thought though...

  • demonD, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0He says he wasn't chasing them.

    Liar.
  • ghm101, on 10/10/2007, -5/+3get out more - you manbagged, suburanite meterosexual
  • majorbta, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0Mirror without ads/comments - http://www.brandonadcock.com/ever-wonder-what-it-looks-like-to-chase-a-kangaroo/
  • 10goto10, on 10/10/2007, -5/+3That picture made me drunk.
  • thecurryfairy, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1That looks photoshopped.
    So either the guy was really lucky in taking that picture, or he's a big lyer =P
  • XBSHX, on 10/10/2007, -5/+1Anybody who dugg this is an idiot.
