So, let's just imagine for a second that some of us haven't been on here for 3 years and, while we can appreciate your irritation on seeing a repeat post, would still like to know what the fuck that thing is. Sorry.

[–]Kyle6969 9 points10 points ago*

Exactly. It's not like you can easily search that image on here. How many images are titled "WTF OMG!!!"?

And besides, it's new to some people and at LEAST it's art, not some stupid fucking meme.

And it's good art. I've definitely seen the series before, but I enjoy seeing it from time to time. It gives me the strangest feeling and I fucking like that. And you know what other work of art this brings to mind? This: http://www.leokoenig.com/artist/workview/448/1386 and you better fucking believe it's a goddamn repost to the fucking maximum. And I don't care.

FUCK OFF REPOST POLICE. Unless it's something utterly fucking stupid. But then I guess that's subjective, because personally I have no idea how the fuck you idiots get Deadmau5 to the front page almost daily.

and yet still not one single legit explanation.

I know! I Had to go off and find out for myself in the end, wasting literally seconds of my life on a Google search... It's a scene from a horror movie http://carlosnightman.wordpress.com/2011/06/06/psycho-mammy-billy-got-his-arm-stuck-down-the-sink-2/

[–]Shetlander -2 points-1 points ago

The picture (titled "Getting Lindsay Linton") is from a series called "Understanding Joshua" by Charlie White.

The series is meant to dissect human insecurity.

Here's a link to an interview where he discusses what's going on in the picture: http://www.nyfa.org/level4.asp?id=147&fid=1&sid=51&tid=167

It's a fucking repost of an artwork.

[–]WTF-or-not -3 points-2 points ago

Welcome to the internet. This would have been WTF when the internet started but it has been posted to death. This is no longer WTF.
