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.

These are his official hats and his store. Everything is made in the USA: http://store.mittromney.com/romney-ryan-baseball-hat-1.html

This is not made by his campaign.

[–]killer_burrito 55 points56 points ago

can we get a "misleading title" added onto the title?

[–]danE3030 27 points28 points ago

Also, this type of stuff doesn't belong in /r/pics, leave the politics in /r/politics as far as I'm concerned, we're already over-saturated by this stuff as it is regardless of political affiliation (yes, I support Obama).

your local social scientist here just checking in to say backpedaling is still very ugly, just don't do it kids.

[–]steinman17 2 points3 points ago

Delete the fucking post

[–]NuclearWookie 0 points1 point ago

You should delete this trash and stick to /r/politics.

[–]leex0 192 points193 points ago

I like how this comment was at 0. Someone literally downvoted him for the fact-checking that Reddit supposedly loves so much. NO MITT ROMNEY BAD. OBAMA GOOD.

[–]shaggy1265 61 points62 points ago

It was either OP was being butthurt or some hardcore Romney hater that doesn't care about facts.

Either way it's sad.

[–]TheNoxx 24 points25 points ago

It's just dumb because there is no need to make up claims to fight against Romney or the republicans; fact checking only helps you make sure your arguments are solid.

Not fact checking your shit is like throwing a load of blanks in with the rest of your ammo when you're up against the zombie hordes. And now I need to go watch Walking Dead.

[–]Rednys 7 points8 points ago

I would say it's like having a bullet that instead of going out the front and down the range just blows up in the receiver.

[–]balthazarbalthazar 2 points3 points ago

God damned Baader Meinhoff effect I just started watching this show and now I can't open any comment thread without seeing a reference

[–]VelociraptorVacation 3 points4 points ago

I asked what the effect was called yesterday and now I've seen your comment. It's come full circle

[–]balthazarbalthazar 3 points4 points ago

Damn. That's cool.

[–]TheRedditLaughTrack -5 points-4 points ago

woooheeee! haha! chuckle HAHAHAHA! hehehe!

provocative whistling

[–]turnipstealer 1 point2 points ago

OP deleted his account in shame.

[–][deleted] ago

[–]TimothyGonzalez 20 points21 points ago

Fuck you for spreading misinformation.

[–]balthazarbalthazar 12 points13 points ago

Survey says; OP's an asshole

[–]not_worth_your_time 6 points7 points ago

its only sarcastic if your audience knows the truth.

[–]carrotman424 7 points8 points ago

2 hours in and that comment is at 201 up 21 down. So yes, 9/10 voting redditors appreciate this kind of fact checking. Even your comment bashing all redditors is at 50 up 20 down. 5/7 redditors hate redditors. Interesting.

Edit: Top ten comments (none of which have been "downvoted to oblivion") all debunking this or about how reddit is a pro-Obama circle jerk or neutral joke. Eleventh most upvoted comment simply states that the Obama hat looks nicer.

[–]hattedhater 18 points19 points ago

its insane how opinionated some people are... they can talk all they want about Romney but the second you agree with him or talk bad about Obama you get down voted to oblivion

[–]2773625 0 points1 point ago

Besides the fact that these political posts should stay out of r/pics and the rest of reddit for that matter

[–]stupernan -1 points0 points ago

there's people like this on both sides. This is why i personally feel there needs to be a competency test as well as a bias test for you to vote.

so you know what you're voting for and you can see farther than the end of your nose.

[–]Vanetia 1 point2 points ago

How about instead of candidate names, you have to vote for candidate A, B, C, etc. The candidates would have a list of positions listed beside their letter, but you wouldn't know which one was which (at least not at first blush).

[–]First_thing 1 point2 points ago

Their opinions matter? I thought the presidency was just another popularity contest, a quadrennial prom king for the politicians.

[–]TheAnswerIsScience -3 points-2 points ago

I'm voting obama, I'm also upvoting both these parent comments for truth.

[–]trainsaw -5 points-4 points ago

I will not let my downvotes be dictated by fact checking

for clarification, I did not downvote him

[–]ShamAbram 7 points8 points ago

And Obama's hemp scarf was made in China.

[–]starlilyth 24 points25 points ago

...because it legally cant be made in the US.

[–]ShamAbram 15 points16 points ago

Thanks to Hearst, his passioned fear of mexicans feeding white women the devil's weed, and open collusion that still exists today.

[–]Ketsui 2 points3 points ago

Thanks you beat me to it.

[–]jeffesaurusrex 2 points3 points ago

Soooo, in light of this, can we get one of those "misleading info" tags on the title?

[–]2773625 2 points3 points ago

Here is OP's hat

and here is where you can add any text you want

[–]arcainic 1 point2 points ago

Holy Fuck, $30 for a baseball hat. You'd think they'd leave on the douche label so people who buy them get to use it.

[–]WANTS_-2O000_KARMA 1 point2 points ago

Thats what I wanna hear! Romney/Ryan 2012!

[–]jeaguilar 1 point2 points ago

That explains why they are $30. Or maybe these are 1%er hats.

[–]lunarlumberjack 0 points1 point ago

So where did the Nissan hat come from? Why is Nissan the car company making hats?

Edit:Nissan Cap not Car

[–]42Sanford 2 points3 points ago

As much as I can't stand Romney, thanks for the fact-checking. I took away my original upvote on this post and replaced it with a downvote.

[–]TheOldGaurd 88 points89 points ago

this, like all the others is a fake knock off. last week it was buttons.

[–]PleaseNinja 3 points4 points ago

soon it'll be mittens.

[–]2773625 2 points3 points ago

and the week before... and the week before that... and the week before that...

[–]hughnibley 210 points211 points ago

This has been debunked twenty times, no one gives a shit, post pictures of kittens or slutty nurses or gtfo.

[–]kdw1029 27 points28 points ago

Or slutty nurses with kittens no need to segregate the two.

[–]hughnibley 4 points5 points ago

You make a strong point. I like the cut of your jib.

[–]TheMadHaberdasher 2 points3 points ago

Professional jib-cutter here, I can attest that his jib is, in fact, well cut.

[–]hughnibley 0 points1 point ago

I appreciate the consult.

[–]AAlexanderK 0 points1 point ago

Soooo.... Yeah I'll just be waiting for that now.

[–]Abraxas212 11 points12 points ago

Best I could do. But don't worry she totally wants it bro.

[–]connorveale 1 point2 points ago

I'd give some blood.

[–]Abraxas212 0 points1 point ago

Damn right you would.

[–]hughnibley 1 point2 points ago

You just won the internet.

[–]ninjamuffin 4 points5 points ago

SLUTTY KITTENS OR GTFO

[–]giverofnofucks -1 points0 points ago

Yeah, I think Romney's as much of a hypocritical douchebag as anyone, but it should be common knowledge that just because a hat says "Romney/Ryan" on it doesn't mean its production was overseen by their campaign.

[–]jvenable2893 9 points10 points ago

A lot of these things are made by third parties that have nothing to do with the actual campaign.

[–]GiovanniTunk 77 points78 points ago

A certain subreddit is leaking again...

leaking like a badly-fitted diaper...

[–]GiovanniTunk 9 points10 points ago

Gross but accurate.

[–]Bridgemaster11 1 point2 points ago

Actually I found his hyphen use gross and inaccurate

[–]Mechakoopa 2 points3 points ago

I found his misuse of badly instead of poorly to be gross and inaccurate.

[–]Buck_Futthole -2 points-1 points ago

You are the 1%

more like facebook is leaking into reddit.

A strong, unionized American hat industry is the key to America's economic recovery.

[–]frbastiat 8 points9 points ago

Hat bailouts coming soon.

[–]carlivar 3 points4 points ago

Unfortunately the hat costs $57.

[–]DaTruthHurtz 0 points1 point ago

I expected nothing less.

[–]original_locutus 5 points6 points ago

It's getting that the unions are the death knell of an industry...

[–]SteveTheDude 7 points8 points ago

The people downvoting you clearly don't understand why GM went bankrupt.

[–]naughtywesley 18 points19 points ago

Look guiz, i ordered a hat from a "design your own" website. DAE think romney is satan?

[–]cruxial1 9 points10 points ago

Once again, every remotely political post on the front page is Anti-Romney or Anti-Republican. Man, I'm glad I clicked on this. -_-

[–]brycehanson 13 points14 points ago

/r/politics is leaking again.

He doesn't exactly control that...

President Obama's store sells hemp from Communist China while hemp farming in America remains criminalized

[–]Worlds_Best_Coffee 8 points9 points ago

I am sure that Romney personally was responsible for this choice.

Not a campaign manager, not a promotions company... Romney.

Meanwhile, the troops in Afghanistan get Chinese made combat boots. [url]http://www.airforcetimes.com/news/2012/06/airforce-master-sergeant-no-chinese-made-boots-062512/[/url]

[–]mamashibubu 1 point2 points ago

That's not uncommon. I interned for a Democrat's congressional campaign and EVERYTHING we ordered had to be union made and made in the US. Like, everything. From simple postcards to bumper stickers and tshirts. Makes sense, the Democratic Party is so close to labor unions- they're a big supporter of Democratic politicians. Republicans don't particularly need that kind of support.

[–]Lagomorf 0 points1 point ago

Meanwhile, our troops in Afghanistan are getting combat boots made in China.

[–]First_thing -1 points0 points ago

I'm foreseeing a future where the chinese will make combat boots that fall apart at an exact moment, timing millions of boots to fall apart at the same time.

...That's when they'll come...

[–]Aj45 0 points1 point ago

Outsourcing aside, it looks like Obama just went for the all around better quality hat. All these people are concerned about "the issues" and are completely overlooking taste in hats.

[–]Lazerspewpew 10 points11 points ago

A proper hat economy is the key to success.

[–]paranormal_shouting 8 points9 points ago

"A proper hat economy is the key to success." ~Gaben

[–]PacoThePenguin 1 point2 points ago

Think about it. The vikings were so successful in their raids because of their awesome hats. America won it's independence in the 1700 because of awesome, 3-pointed hats! The 1920s were so great because of awesome hats!

[–]Lazerspewpew 1 point2 points ago

Just look at the hats of today...Flat Brims...Kangols...Americas current hat economy is in recession.

[–]Combat_Medic_Scout 6 points7 points ago

HATS HATS HATS

[–]JimmyInnernets 1 point2 points ago

Hats?

[–]adinfinitum8 0 points1 point ago

Free Hat?

[–]shooterlesson -2 points-1 points ago

So, do people care about industry in America, or is this more about catching Romney in a gotcha moment?

[–]seweroutlet -1 points0 points ago

What an interesting pic! This has nothing to do with r/politics at all! I sure hope reddit gets paid enough for not removing these posts!

[–]SpenceNation 0 points1 point ago

Even though I don't support Rommney I like that this post exists. It distracts me from the fact that on reddit we are living in an echo chamber.

Don't get me wrong, I'm exposed to much more election news than I was in 2008. It's just now, that news is basically posted to support an endorsement of one candidate or another.

[–]deepfryerdan 0 points1 point ago

I'm so glad this facebook cancer made it onto reddit.

[–]carlivar 0 points1 point ago

I'm always interested in the cars I see with various bumper stickers.

Obama stickers are often on Japanese cars made by anti-union companies like Toyota or Honda that build new factories in Right To Work states.

Romney stickers are more likely to be on American cars built with UAW union labor, or even GM cars which of course Obama specifically saved.

[–]201smellsfunny 0 points1 point ago

Good lord. I'm no Romney fan, but... 1) this is not an official hat. 2) economics doesn't work like that. Buying cheap things from other countries is actually good for America.

[–]Radskee 0 points1 point ago

LOL. THIS IS SO DAMN MISLEADING. I'm sick of the liberal propaganda shit on Reddit. ANYONE can print their own Mitt Romney hats, those are not his. Fuck you for trying to deceive people.

[–]NuclearWookie 1 point2 points ago

Go back to /r/politics, shill.

[–]jimboblovesNASCAR 1 point2 points ago

As Churchill said, "A lie can travel the world before the truth has a chance to put its pants on"...

Next thing you know kids are going to shave their heads because they think that Justin Bibber has cancer... (Oh wait, that already did happen)

[–]_CrimsonGhost -1 points0 points ago

Little known fact - Democrats have to use union based companies and have their items made in the US. These even goes as far as their printing for their mailed items.

[–]droxile -1 points0 points ago

Probably making ammends after shitting on the keystone pipeline.

[–]NeliusDork 0 points1 point ago

In case anyone's interested, I reluctantly bought two items from Bill O'Reilly's website for my step-father.

pic1

pic2

Later, while doing some PC maintenance, I found a letter that he wrote to Bill asking why his "american patriot" merchandise was made in china. Of course there was no reply.

[–]hornytheclown 0 points1 point ago

This might not be the best thread to call out O'Reilly for supposing having Chinese-made merchandise, considering OP's pic is misleading/fake.

[–]Carn3asada -3 points-2 points ago

As a corporate society it is better to send off low wage jobs, which allows us to have more high wage corporate jobs.

[–]Ace1999 -4 points-3 points ago

What if he just told the Chinese factories to print MADE IN THE USA on their tags, huh? HUH??? HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT THAT?!?

[–]Gepettolufkin -1 points0 points ago
