Well, this first one I just found amusing. While doing a search on AllRecipes.com, two ads lined up pretty well, giving me a gleeful cackle. Just wanted to share that one.
But… I took a screenshot of an ad a while back, just because I couldn’t figure out what in the world I was looking at in the picture. It makes no sense to me whatsoever. Could someone kindly explain what the hell I’m looking at here? Am I just not looking at it properly?
I would be eternally grateful if someone can make the seemingly nonsensical image fall into place for me. I’m wondering if I’m just having one of those gigantic brain farts that just never ends until someone puts a cork in it. Like the time I was in third grade, and I completely forgot what the word “stripe” was, or what it meant, until my teacher pointed out that a stripe was like what was on my shirt, and I glanced down at my striped shirt and thought, “Oh, damn.” I felt like the biggest dolt in the universe. :smack:
Share your own unusual, “WTF is that” pictures - in the hopes that it will either stump us all as well, or that things will finally make sense to you, too.
We are looking at a man and a woman in a convertible, from the back. The woman has her right arm raised, and is holding a red jacket or shirt. The shape of it vaguely resembles that of the red fuel gauge, against which they are superimposed.
Looks like a long evening scarf/wrap to me. She’s holding both arms up, the left one lower, and the scarf is trailing down her head, to her left shoulder.
Well, holy shit. There it is, like a Magic Eye picture. Only I still can’t see those, but at least this picture makes sense.
I was seeing cranes, and strange things crashing into the car, and maybe a very flexible full-body shot of a woman… but for whatever reason didn’t see it as a convertible, and wondered what the disembodied heads were doing there.
Yep. That was a :smack: moment if I’ve ever had one. Thanks! Now I can finally sleep at night!
It’s a very poorly made ad. The cropping out of the car has left in the details seen through the windshield, even though all other external imagery is removed. The compositing over the fuel gauge has a very obvious white line that looks like it shouldn’t be there. And finally, as pointed out in the OP, it just looks incomprehensible, even when you know what it is made up of.
They are driving in the convertible to celebrate the woman’s hysterectomy. She is holding her uterus above her head and demonstrating how stretchy it is.
Man, I told them they couldn’t release those pictures!
The speedometer is a headsup display, seen in the windshield. You’ve been in my car haven’t you? If not, we’ll have to fix that oversite. [sub]Get in, sit down and hold on! Oh yeah, better buckle up too.[/sub]
It’s the cool, let it all hang out, red scarf trailing, Californian, Malibu Convertible haves appealing to the have nots in the language of Hollywood Archetype. It’s the straight version of Thelma and Louise Cliffdiving.
Oops. My first impression (and it still kind of looks like it to me) was that someone, presumably a guy, was lifting up a woman’s dress to look under it.
I saw the car right away, but my first thought was Jeff Goldblum from the 1986 version of The Fly, maybe climbing into the back seat. I did consider a roast chicken with one leg in the air, but it looks a bit too skinny for that.
Reminds me of Bridget Jones trying to be all sophisticated during her car trip for the weekend (a weekend trip means true love) with the cad. Of course she clumsily lets the chic scarf fly away and ends up with a very bad hair day.
I saw it all right at first, and then I started to think that I’m hoping that the woman in that shot is about to do her famous (I can only do it once!) Isadora Duncan impersonation.
How is anyone going to get in trouble for going to a website that has “sexy” in its address, without already being in trouble for accessing it from a website that has “dope” in its address?
