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.

  6. No animated images. Please submit them to /r/gif, /r/gifs, or /r/reactiongifs instead.

  • 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.

Romney is getting his shoes metal detected and Obama is fist bumping a janitor. What do these two things have in common?

[–]LoveChildOfMyParents 21 points22 points ago

I think in both cases, the men are doing things that they were told to do.

[–]xitlhooq 30 points31 points ago

Oh man, upvote this guy. I didn't notice it was a metal detector. I'm a real moron I guess... Stop upvoting everybody, nothing to see here !

[–]TurdString 9 points10 points ago

Takes real cajones to admit that man. Mad respect.

[–]chemistry_teacher 2 points3 points ago

And yet you did not remove this post.

[–]xitlhooq 1 point2 points ago

Done (I clicked delete, but I do not know if it's working)

[–]Fear_to_tread 0 points1 point ago

why would you upvote this anyway? assuming that wasnt a metal detector it's simply an incredibly unflattering picture of one man and a flattering picture of another. you think Obama wouldn't have wardrobe people to scuff his shoes before a photo op or something?

[–]YourFavoriteMormon 1 point2 points ago

Only the fact that are 2 random pictures put side by side.

[–]BenFreakinFranklin 0 points1 point ago

Why would he get his shoes metal detected?

[–]TurdString -1 points0 points ago

Dick Reid. We all have to take our shoes off nowadays when we fly, it's the most difficult thing to put back on whilst running towards a gate. My guess is Ole Mittens doesn't have to go through the usual security screen in the terminal and didn't want to take his shoes off.

[–]BenFreakinFranklin 0 points1 point ago

Oh. Maybe I just assumed since he was mega rich he'd have his own plane or something...

[–]coolcool23 6 points7 points ago

It's very easy to juxtapose two things completely out of context to justify any point of view.

[–]skarface6 24 points25 points ago

Probably because you're just looking to reinforce your own ideas.

[–]Goddamn_Wouter 6 points7 points ago

/r/politics please go.

[–]aahdin 4 points5 points ago

What really pisses me off is that shit like this actually gets upvoted.

Even if it wasn't Mitt getting his shoes metal detected, and he was actually getting his shoes shined, if you base your political positions off of meaningless pictures like these with absolutely no context then I really hope you never vote.

[–]sullipilot 3 points4 points ago

Alright lets say he was getting his shoes shined, what is the problem? He is patronizing someone's business. I fail to see the problem in that. Military soldiers have to shine their shoes, does that make them rich snobs somehow?

[–]ThorTheEpic 6 points7 points ago

You'd also have to be insanely naive to believe Obama cleans his own clothes and shines his own shoes.

[–]Rommel79 14 points15 points ago

You're a moron.

[–]bullmoose703 2 points3 points ago

Because Obama didn't want to shake his hand?

[–]boxtop 1 point2 points ago

ROMNEY EATS THE POOR. SUB TO R/POLITICS FOR MORE SHOCKING DETAILS.
