Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

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), weight loss photos, posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. Weight loss photos go in /r/loseit, 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.

The photo is fake. I know Heath was big into skateboarding, and yes he did skateboard in between takes. But this photo is not real. Here is the original picture.

My friends sister worked on the set and told me Ledger was constantly skating around in full makup. The pic may be fake but its very plausable.

As someone posted below, according to the photographer and espn it actually is the real photo. http://espn.go.com/action/skateboarding/blog/_/post/4897690

He says "I got a photo of him on the set of "The Dark Knight" trying to kickflip over Patrick Bateman [...]" — He doesn't say that he took it himself.

[–]ducttape36 1 point2 points ago

the dude also sounds like an idiot. "I call him patrick bateman cause he played patrick bateman in american psycho." oh really? how fascinating. tell me more.

Either that or this is the biggest and blurriest skateboard ever.

Come on guys... this is obviously a heelflip, its spinning clockwise... Or a double kickflip! Mindblow

[–]axloc 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yep.

I had this typed out before seeing your comment: "Actually, Heath Ledger's foot position would indicate that he is doing a kickflip; however, the rotation of the board indicates a heelflip. The picture is completely wrong. You need to have the board rotating the other way. Nice try though."

This is my first time seeing it, and I thought it was great. If it is a repost then assholes can downvote and move on instead of being internetelitistfuckwads.

I miss him, and mourn for all the films that might have bettered by his presence

[–]shunt110 -2 points-1 points ago

I don't get why people miss people they didn't even know

[–]SapientSlut 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

it's more the possibility of cultural contributions he might have made, than the person himself

plus he was my first celebrity crush, so there's a bit of nostalgia/childhood in there too

I was going to say "this photo is so epic, why have I never seen it before? Why has it not been posted on all corners of the internet?!" then I saw a comment about it being fake, then I saw a comment about it being real, now I don't know what to believe other than I think I will continue to believe this is real based purely on the fact it is AWESOME.

uhh, I dont know if it really makes that much sense. If he was doing a kickflip and skates regular (which it appears he does by how his feet are positioned) then the board should be flipping the other way (counter-clockwise instead of clockwise) If the deck is finally coming around full circle and he is about to land it might make sense but it looks like he just kicked the shit...as a skater for many years this looks really awkward/fake

[–]dmaho123 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Skateboarder here, the motion of the board tells me it's a 360 flip, not a kickflip.

[–]Ipinch 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Flipping the wrong way for a treflip. Maybe an inward heel?

[–]zxain 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah, it's an inward. He's goofy and it's flipping foward in this picture so there shouldn't even be a question if there's a kickflip involved (there's not).

[–]Thizzlamic 0 points1 point ago

Switch ollie impossible.

[–]cynicproject 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

If anyone would ever be goofy footed, it would be The Joker. I agree with you though. It would definitely be an impossible. The 360 flip would be flipping the other way. If he's a TOTAL bad ass it might be a 360 inward heel-flip.

Hey Heath, are you professional or not? What the fuck is it with you. Fuck's sake man you're amateur.

Also dead.

To be fair, there is more chance now that he would respond to the question.
