No footprints in the sand. How'd he get there?

[–]Wakamezake 87 points88 points ago

God carried them there or something, I don't remember how it went

[–]AbasementPark 50 points51 points ago

Deities move single file to hide their numbers.

[–]Urban_Savage 5 points6 points ago

This is clever, thank you sir.

"My son, my precious child,

I love you and I would never leave you.

During your times of trial and suffering,

when you see only one set of footprints,

it was then that I carried you."

Footprints in the sand.

[–]Isayimanatheist 2 points3 points ago

Religious or not, this has always been one of my favorite stories.

[–]iamadogforreal 0 points1 point ago*

Anjahamah the holy floating elephant god who could never dirty himself by touching the filthy earth carried them.

Oh right, people forget this religion thing cuts both ways.

[–]Bloranyl 7 points8 points ago

The sand is not "beach sand". It's more hard and even has traces of the tide.

[–]mikepixie 7 points8 points ago

Its a trick, some poor production assistant's whole life revolved around raking that sand for a day.

[–]seg-fault 4 points5 points ago

he rolled.

[–]fgalv 4 points5 points ago

maybe they all got in position at high tide...?

[–]reagan2016 2 points3 points ago

Maybe he photoshopped them out?

[–]Anon6942 0 points1 point ago

Hovers.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Same way as in Robinson Crusoe, cannibals.

[–]rshangale 0 points1 point ago

The Doctor dropped him off.

[–]Brillians 0 points1 point ago

he was already there. The beach came to him

[–]OCedHrt 0 points1 point ago

Photoshop?

[–]Tokeli 0 points1 point ago

He's always been there.

[–]getmadbaby 39 points40 points ago

Will distort them to Snookie proportions.

[–]ani625 6 points7 points ago

**May range from Snooki to Muffcabbage.

[–]nejikaze 2 points3 points ago

Thank goodness that Photoshop et. al. can correct for the distortion from the lens. Remember kids, always shoot in RAW!

[–]99Faces -1 points0 points ago

photoshop cant correct that ammount of distortion

[–]auxiliary-character -1 points0 points ago

DM;TP

[–]ZsaFreigh 142 points143 points ago

He's still sitting well within the "creep" zone, on such an empty beach.

[–]Pagan-za 114 points115 points ago

Unless he was there first.

[–][deleted] 105 points106 points ago

Then two hot chicks have sat down within the creep zone, and he shouldn't be wasting time taking photos.

[–]toxicFork 65 points66 points ago

He's got creepin' to do.

[–]IMasturbateToMyself 51 points52 points ago

It's not creeping when the guy is attractive.

Actually this happened yesterday. I was in the library studying and a friend of mind came and sat by me. She told me "some guy over there was staring at me like a creep so I moved" and then I said "I bet he isn't attractive" and she said "obviously not, why else would I move if he is attractive."

[–]FlyingPasta 27 points28 points ago

And by "studying" he means "masturbating".

[–]Sovekop 17 points18 points ago

And by "masturbating" you mean "lighting his pubic hair on fire".

[–]FlyingPasta 17 points18 points ago

[–]Sovekop 9 points10 points ago

Allergic to fire? Understandable.

It's actually faster than shaving them, though the smell is awful.

[–]FlyingPasta 12 points13 points ago

[–]mr_tw 0 points1 point ago

Who does that

[–]ROK247 5 points6 points ago

it kills the crabs. or makes them really mad.

[–]Sovekop 1 point2 points ago

People that are in a hurry, I suppose. Or some with no cutting tools.

[–]IMasturbateToMyself 2 points3 points ago

Unfortunately not. I am so sick of the library :(

[–]FlyingPasta 0 points1 point ago

Finals?

[–]IMasturbateToMyself 1 point2 points ago

Yeah. I have 13.5 hours worth of exams this month. Over 120 hours worth of lectures to go over.

[–]Battletooth 2 points3 points ago

Hey! I do not read your posts to hear about finals. I read your posts for masturbation jokes! Now tell me about a time you grabbed your cock and stoked it to yourself!

[–]FlyingPasta 1 point2 points ago

:( Go kick some academic ass, you masturbating hero, you.

[–]CraftyLobster 0 points1 point ago

I second this. I've noticed this trend as well... it's not creeping if the guy is attractive. Same thing goes for stalking. I just refer to it as creeping or unwanted creeping.

[–]isaackleiner 1 point2 points ago

I think the whole point of the ad is that the wide angle lens of his camera is so good, he can appear to be looking over the ocean, but still get the ladies in the picture. So instead of obviously glaring at them, he's being clever.

[–]vinfx 3 points4 points ago

With his body looking like that (all fit n sexay), it wouldn't be an accident they sat near him.

[–]pureprotest 26 points27 points ago

they are all good looking. There is no creep zone for good looking people.

[–]Oideron 44 points45 points ago

-So I saw Josh the other day

-OMG He's so hot, what was he up to

-Hanging outside my house in his car with binoculars, I went up to say hi but he just blushed and drove off

-Haha, he's so quirky and free spirited, so cute

-It's good to know he's about too, I had another run in with that creeper Jeff, he passed me in the hall and totally said "Hey" to me.

-Oh my god, what a weirdo, where does he get off!!

-I know, like respect people's boundaries dude!

[–]Thalanos -1 points0 points ago

How can you tell the guy is attractive?

[–]pureprotest 2 points3 points ago

how can you tell the women are attractive?

[–]Thalanos 17 points18 points ago

They have breasts.

[–]wardrox -1 points0 points ago

You are a misogynist.

[–]Fabbyfubz 2 points3 points ago

Which guy? The one taking the picture of the girls, or the one taking the picture of the guy taking a picture of the girls without wide angle lens?

[–]ibisum 0 points1 point ago

That beach looks like Cossack Beach and thus it is probably a defense strategy.

[–]twocheapliesaday 17 points18 points ago

gotta get them potential whales in the shot.

[–]lovelydayfora 34 points35 points ago

At that moment, I was a marine biologist.

[–]Weemz 22 points23 points ago

The sea was angry that day my friends. Like an old man returning soup at a deli.

[–]SystemOutPrintln 10 points11 points ago

From where I was standing I could see directly into the eye of the great fish.

[–]fleetber 6 points7 points ago

mammal

[–]SystemOutPrintln 3 points4 points ago

whatever

[–]drojretiE -2 points-1 points ago

You got a chuckle out of me.

[–]trixter192 13 points14 points ago

He needs this. allows him to shoot at a 90o angle.

[–]kawahc 3 points4 points ago

Perfect for capturing kids? That sounds super creepy.

[–]mikepixie 1 point2 points ago

Dude thats awesome. I must have one.

[–]why_ask_why 7 points8 points ago

Right angle lens.

[–]Mr_Quagmire 11 points12 points ago

Actually looks like he'd need a left angle lens.

[–]Picklwarrior 2 points3 points ago

http://www.gifbin.com/f/983002

[–]khalestorm 2 points3 points ago

If he really wants to do it right, use this rare, Nikon fisheye lens

Wow - that is an impressive find. I did search for the URL before submitting, but your search is more advanced. How did you find this one?

That might be how.

[–]one4u2nv 0 points1 point ago

Good eye my internet friend.

[–]SuperSchmyd 14 points15 points ago

What's the funny part?

[–]Matjoez 25 points26 points ago

It's an ad for wide angle lenses. He appears to be shooting the sea, the girls don't know they're part of the photo.

[–]ConansBeard -4 points-3 points ago

I thought its because hes covering up the lenses with his hand

[–]Rudinism 3 points4 points ago

There are 3 ads from this campaign from 2009. http://gizmodo.com/5325470/this-is-how-you-sell-wide+angle-lenses/

[–]SourCreamWater 4 points5 points ago

Seriously...as someone working in advertising...that is brilliant.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

took me a minute to get it... i feel stupid

[–]Psythik 1 point2 points ago

In reality, how wide of an angle would that lens have to be able to capture in order to get those girls in the frame?

[–]Matjoez 0 points1 point ago

7 mm? On a full frame body where the picture isn't cropped due to a smaller sensor!

[–]reagan2016 1 point2 points ago

In these types of situations I prefer to use my periscope lens.

[–]bricardo 1 point2 points ago

One of the girls is wearing a string. I don't think they mind someone staring.

[–]AutumnEmber 0 points1 point ago

I wish more beaches were this empty.

[–]DoogieBrowser 0 points1 point ago

When I think of fisheye lenses

[–]blind_snipa 0 points1 point ago

love it :)

[–]Cyberslasher 0 points1 point ago

he actually isn't looking into the camera. His head it turned WAY too far to the left. He is merely using the camera to cover his glance at the ladies from anyone watching from the front, right, or rear.

[–]imaraddude 0 points1 point ago

Not to mention they HAD to notice the guy taking the picture that we are looking at

[–]not_funny_end_thread 0 points1 point ago

Bitch made my lens pop a wide angle.

[–]ScramDammity 0 points1 point ago

I HATE MY LIFE.

[–]desideesy 0 points1 point ago

somebody gets those girls some sammiches

[–]simjanes2k 0 points1 point ago

If I had to guess, I'd say he's about to start taking pictures of those women, and then all three of them will get paid for doing their job.

[–]Kolinkllo 0 points1 point ago

If only this photo was taken a few seconds earlier

[–]Bullveh 2 points3 points ago

That is clever

[–]awe300 -1 points0 points ago

What this ad tells me:

Photography: It's for stalkers and creeps

[–]xfallchildamyx -1 points0 points ago

LOVE IT!

[–]Reggaejunkiejew31 -4 points-3 points ago

I always get baffled when I find unfunny things like this on the first few pages.

[–]Gnurx[S] 1 point2 points ago

Well, have you ever heard this old saying:

Tastes vary!

I don't like many front posts, but that doesn't mean that I hold the monopoly on what is good/funny and what isn't.

[–]Reggaejunkiejew31 0 points1 point ago

I've heard the old saying:

This shit isn't funny!

[–]Gnurx[S] 0 points1 point ago

On the interweb?

[–]litkedeep 0 points1 point ago

Reddit is not exclusively for "funny"

That said.. nice name.

[–]Reggaejunkiejew31 0 points1 point ago

it is when it is in /r/funny

...duh

[–]litkedeep 0 points1 point ago

Touché - I never look at the subreddit origin ...

[–]ConansBeard -1 points0 points ago

Every one missing his hand over the lense of the camera?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

he's not. The lens of the camera is pointing straight to the horizon. look again

[–]ConansBeard 0 points1 point ago

I dont know dude, looks like hes using his index finger to rotate the focus thing on the camera and the rest of the fingers are wrapped in front of the lense.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

his right hand index finger is on the button. one would adjust the lens with their left hand and take the picture with the right

[–]CastleAargh -1 points0 points ago

Sure it's not an ad for photoshop? Those girls looks like plastic dolls!

[–]Bloranyl -4 points-3 points ago

Or he could just be as creepy as the guy who took the photo.

[–]CRandalPoopenmeier -2 points-1 points ago

always reminds me of this for some reason

[–]EpikYummeh -4 points-3 points ago

I see what he did there!

[–][deleted] ago
