What's funny about this picture, if anything?

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

This web page collects funny pictures, but there’s one I’m failing to see what the point is:

WARNING, it is a very large picture.

It just looks like some big houses on a coastline. What’s the joke?

2

Unless it’s one of those jack-in-the-box things in disguise, I don’t get it either. :confused:

3

Maybe it’s that the houses are right on the edge of a cliff? It doesn’t really seem all that funny to me, either…

4

That you just opened a huge picture for no reason?

5

Heh, maybe that’s it.
Actually, I figured it out. It’s Barbara Streisand’s house. Someone took photos of the entire California coast from public airspace, and she tried to get the photo of her house removed from the internet. So of course, people then distributed and posted the pic thousands of times, and many, many more people saw it than normally would have.

Surfing through the site I came across a few that weren’t funny. I did see this one though that made me fall in love.

There’s a golf cart on the beach…
The trampoline looks a little like a UFO…

Isn’t she a little short for a Stormtroper?

Get the frame of the picture where it’s just below the houses and just above the beach, right on the cliff.

Now get the drainpipe on the cliff in the center of your screen, scrolled up to where it just barely shows the fence of the house above it, and doesn’t show the beach below.

Stare at the screen for a while.

Is this a SDMB hamster?

What am I supposed to be seeing?

No, but this is:

/dying of laughter.

Or, this one

I know the joke is supposed to be that it’s Streisand’s house, but if that’s not a vagina, my name ain’t Sigmund Freud.

16

So the mere sight of something someone doesn’t want seen on the internet is enough to make Norwegian technical students bust a gut? These people need to get out more.

17

Hell, I’m starting to think if I see dirty internet jokes where apparently none were intended, I need to get out more.

18

I just spend the entire time since my last post looking at all 700-odd pictures on that site. If you’ve got some time to kill, I highly recommend it.

Now that is a dog.

Could it be the contrast of the trashy house in the middle right part of the picture? Or could it be the creature creeping out of the primordial ooze on the beach far left? Did you notice those big beautiful houses have no beach access?
