JDMvW Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 The above discussion disturbs me considerably. I am seriously hoping that the moderators will step in here and take control of the situation! This thread clearly must be moved to an archived section of Photo.net where it will be preserved. It would be tragic to let what is one of the funniest threads on this site, evaporate into electronic nothingness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdoyle Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 Thanks all for contributing. This is a real gas. I didnt see the humor in it until now. I actually though it was a cool thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david brown Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 They say that we see what w want to see in images like this, I'm sure its really Pamela Anderson, or a Roman God for those inclined! A similar thing happened in Sydney a while back, when several fence posts lined up it looked like the Virgin Mother, they came in droves for that one?

Leroy_Photography Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I know the discussion is over, but Lex's last post reminded me another smokey photo that had the world talking (untouched, I might add). I had forgotten about it until now and went trolling through the Internet to find it and stir the pot a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Laur Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 See, now, Laura... I'm not too worried about Mr. Smokey Satan Face Guy, there. I'm more disturbed by the fact that I'm seeing a large, flaming orange teddy near floating above him. I can't believe that the 9/11 conspiracy nuts haven't spotted this already. Obviously the Steiff company, in Germany, was behind the whole thing.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lex_jenkins Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 That graphic reminds me of one of a favorite bedtime story from my childhood, <i>Loki and Ursa Frolic in the Smoking Entrails of Narsi!</i>. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Laur Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 You haven't handled kids' psyches properly, Lex, until you've tucked them in at night and read them a couple of passages from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Struwwelpeter" target="_blank"><b>Struwwelpeter</b></a>. Ah, those Germans. <i>They</i> know how get you thinking about your childhood manners! My wife distinctly recalls her first encounter with Peter... an illustration of a misbehaving child having his fingers menaced with a giant pair of scissors. So much art made by German adults starts to make more sense, when you take all of the baggage into account! (no offense to our German brethren, here - but how can one <i>not</i> have a joke at Stuwwelpeter's expense?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDMvW Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Hey, what is this? Is it the sign of the Anti-Christ? is it significant that it is above the land of a communistic society, the Amana colony? The End Times ARE here!<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovcom_photo Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 As the bible says, a perverse generation will always look for signs and see signs that don't exist. Like ALL "sightings" of the "virgin" Mary, this one too is NOT a sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clive1 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 <i>As the bible says, a perverse generation will always look for signs and see signs that don't exist. </i><P> The Bible says a lot of things, much of it superstitious nonsense and contradiction.You may as well look for truth in a toilet bowl.

lorriman Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 "The Bible says a lot of things, much of it superstitious nonsense and contradiction.You may as well look for truth in a toilet bowl." Go on then, give us an example. Slagging off what many consider sacred should really be accompanied by a bit of evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lex_jenkins Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Looks like a good candidate for a round of Mad Libs, everyone's favorite word substitution game. C'mon, kids, let's play a round or two before the summer's final bus ride ends, shall we?<p> <i>"<b><u>Noun or proper noun</u></b> says a lot of things, much of it <b><u>adjective</u></b> <b><u>noun</u></b> and <b><u>noun</u></b>. <b><u>Pronoun or proper noun</u></b> may as well <b><u>verb</u></b> for <b><u>noun</u></b> in a <b><u>noun</u></b>."</i><p> Wow, that was a lot more fun than recklessly offending millions of people and generally deflating what had been an amusing thread.

Edwin Barkdoll Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Not to keep beating a dead horse - err, pigeon... - but, Jesus' face has apparently recently appeared on a moth per CNN web site.

lex_jenkins Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Speaking of seeing things that ain't there... Have you ever noticed the secret to the most successful female TV news readers? Their mouths make little valentines when they talk. I noticed this many years ago with popular local news woman Jane McGary (KXAS in the Foat Wuth/Dallas Metroburgh). I can't even watch her without cracking up laughing. Turn the volume down and it looks like she's blowing little valentines. Robin Meade has kinda the same thing going on, tho' with her lips it's more like those inflatable valentine shaped balloons. Try hard enough and you can see anything you want. Like Mr. Spock's face in the floor tiles in my bathroom... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
