Submit your Halloween pumpkin pics to /r/horror's carving competition!

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

I'd chalk this up to "Dewey defeats Truman". Newspapers used to print up two headlines in advance of close elections so they could have them on the street as soon as possible. In the Dewey vs. Truman election, some of the wrong ones hit the street, proclaiming Dewey the winner. This is probably a similar situation, in which many graphics have been pre made in advance of the results, and someone accidentally opened the wrong file when looking for the banner they meant to put at the bottom of the screen.

Doubtful, while yes the can screw up when putting graphics on, this isn't 1948. The presidential graphics during elections are a live feed. There is no messing that up.

I think it's a conspiracy by the lizard people.

[–]turk8813 2 points3 points ago

I'd be more inclined to say shadow government.

[–]Mary80[S] 2 points3 points ago

If that is the case, then how can the numbers be so specific?

[–]Jodah -1 points0 points ago

I assume this is in reply to Thorin's post, if so it is likely the banner is set up and the numbers are just place holders for testing. During the election they only need to punch in the correct numbers when necessary and they show up as entered.
