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.

It's not like anyone is forcing you to listen to covers of the song. If you don't like it, don't listen.

[–]goodbadnomad 0 points1 point ago

Well, it's become so popular lately that it has an air of being inescapable. I've heard it covered at 3 separate concerts lately, been at a dance club where they played a dubstep remix of it, heard versions of it on radio at my work, on radio in shops/bars/public places, etc. — in addition to these:

... and counting. Hell, even the parodies of Walk Off The Earth's version alone:

It gets hard to avoid. Are you honestly insinuating that you're above finding something annoying through overexposure? That it's unreasonable to become exhausted of something when repeated ad nauseum? It's not even that I dislike the song; it's fairly well-written and obviously resonates with swaths of people, so good for Gotye as a songwriter — in some ways, part of my frustration is that I can't appreciate it anymore because I'm so sick of hearing it.

I'm not saying I'm above finding something annoying when it's saturating the market but I don't think it warrants being that upset over.

[–]goodbadnomad 0 points1 point ago

...I don't think it warrants being that upset over.

I thought making a comical GIF about it was an appropriately low-key response.

[–]wilkil -1 points0 points ago

I don't get it. Is this implying that artists desperate for attention always promote Gotye?
