What do you think? Has this image been photoshopped? I have my opinions but I’ll wait for some experts to chime in before I put in my 2 cents.
I don’t think so, I think someone with a warped sense of humor just posed a pair of GI Joes on a dead squirrel and snapped the picture. I saw no artifacts I would associate with an altered photo.
Go and get some coffee, then come back and do this right.
I don’t get either of your posts, Inigo. Why would it be photoshopped, and what did Exit do wrong?
I don’t think it’s ps’d either. I think it’s funny as hell, but not ps’d. I used to pose my GI joes and other figures with stuff all the time. Turtles, frogs, dead birds, etc. And I’m not sure what your second post was supposed to mean either. Methinks you might need some coffee as well, and please explain what “do this right” means in your context.

P.S. and it’s possible that it’s actually a 400lb squirrel and those are just very, very botox’d guys in fatigues.
d&r
I agree that the easiest way to get a picture like this is to use model soldiers with a dead squirrel, and not to Photoshop it at all.
Well I for one, DO NOT welcome our new 400lb Squirrel Overlords.
We’ll fight them on the branches and on the wires. We’ll fight them with giants cars and huge slingshots. But we shall never give in until the world is safe again for Steroid pumping, botox’d guys in fatigues.
Lucky those army guys didn’t try to attack this squirrel!
Allow me…
Inigo, clearly you’ve never heard of the giant squirrels that are making a comeback in some Midwestern states. Native Americans used to hunt them for meat and fur, until immigrant Europeans moved into their habitat and hunted them to near extinction. I would wager that this particular specimen scared the citizens of a more populated region - witness the recent terror in Chicago over a cougar wandering through town - and soldiers from the nearby base happened to be in the area when the beast menaced a small child. Quick thinking on their parts saved the day.
One squirrel has already infiltrated our highest levels of national security.
I vote not photoshopped. Why would you photoshop two GI Joes onto a dead squirrel? Why not just photoshop two real soldiers then?
I tried to do this too early in the morning didn’t I.
The link in the OP doesn’t work!
Where the right soldier’s boot meets the squirrel (there’s a combination of words I never expected to use today!), the join looks just a bit too soft and fuzzy, but that might just be because the squirrel’s fur is soft and fuzzy at that point.
Impossible to say for sure without a higher resolution image, and maybe not even then. But yeah. Unaltered photo of posed action figures with roadkill seems the most likely methodology.
Rodents of Unusual Size? I don’t believe they really exist.
Dude, he is The **Ferret Herder ** afterall. He should know about these things.
That would be a cute invasion.
Why has nobody posted to say that they can tell by some of the pixels, and having seen a few shops in their time?
