[–]ggbrown 385 points386 points ago

Steve Jobs did this for 2 decades.

[–]BZLuck 81 points82 points ago

Steve had to deal with the paparazzi?

[–]djfl 127 points128 points ago

The applerazzi

[–]BZLuck 50 points51 points ago

I'll have one, warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream please.

[–]ublaa 14 points15 points ago

Appletini?

[–]BleLLL 3 points4 points ago

Yes, ma'am.

[–]loud_rambling 6 points7 points ago

I wonder how many out of focus sepia filtered pictures of Jobs are floating out there.

[–]brown52 2 points3 points ago

In that case I think I'd rather deal with the paparazzi

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

The AppleNazi?

[–]Givants 2 points3 points ago

So it worked.

[–]GentleCanadianFury 4 points5 points ago

Yup.

[–]drummer1059 2 points3 points ago

Wow I never saw that, he looks horrible.

[–]Hootbot 13 points14 points ago

Should have used actual medicin instead of voodoo zen magic to cure his easily treatable cancer.

[–]MartiPanda 1 point2 points ago

You may be downvoting him, but deep down you know it to be true.

[–]Bayshun 1 point2 points ago

Nope, and now you know why.

[–]HardDiction 1 point2 points ago

No, just the iZzarapap

[–]shoziku 0 points1 point ago

the ones in his head.

[–]GwsGeorge 0 points1 point ago

No. He had to deal with the iPaparazzi.

[–]cyniclawl 23 points24 points ago

I'll start using that excuse for why I wear the same thing everyday.

[–]BladeBronson 26 points27 points ago

tl;dr The left side.

[–]BobTheSCV 9 points10 points ago

Nonsensical rambling - The right side.

[–]whirlingderv 8 points9 points ago

I saw Jenn Anniston talk about this in an interview once. I remember seeing a LOT of pictures of her in a white tee or tank and bright orange baggy pants, for a long time.

[–]bettse 21 points22 points ago

pretty sure she has to ice her tits before she leaves so that she consistently has nips poking through her shirt.

[–]UpTheIron 5 points6 points ago

I like that thought.

[–]tswpoker1 14 points15 points ago

I thought he had an invisibility cloak?

[–]_DevilsAdvocate 0 points1 point ago

So I was blowing my nose when I'd read your comment and it was funny enough to make me snort.

Thanks for the help!

[–]Rufflin 6 points7 points ago

Protip: This image's quality is greatly improved when viewed with red/blue 3D glasses.

[–]Cloud6556 2 points3 points ago

I just went from regular glasses to those to check this and now my eyes are wobbling.

That or it's the beer.

[–]sub_hunter 2 points3 points ago

Came here to see all the complaints about a repost. I Was not disappointed.

[–][deleted] 58 points59 points ago

May be a repost, but it was the first time I've seen it, and I thought this was funny. You get an upvote from me.

[–]fentunfont 42 points43 points ago

We need to make a welcome to reddit pack that includes some bacon in a safe, and you only find out the combination to the safe once you've caught up on all the images that get posted two times a week. Extra bacon for insulting your christian friends on Facebook and ranting about mens rights.

[–]staypuft85 6 points7 points ago

Just so long as the safe is hidden in the walls of an old casino.

[–]Sadonyoriik 5 points6 points ago*

And you can't forget about the levels of bravery Ron Paul has.

EDIT: Grammatical error.

[–]Yamez 6 points7 points ago

I like cats and hate republicans.

[–]Hagane17 2 points3 points ago

so brave

[–]OrSomething 0 points1 point ago

It's a repost I've seen a good 10 times now, but will always upvote just for the second panel.

[–]jack_spankin 3 points4 points ago

This was a strategy employed by some actor decades ago. It's clever, but not Radcliffe's idea.

In more innocent times actors would flip the bird making the image unusable.

[–]beeprog 4 points5 points ago

Were those innocent times when photographers only had enough film for one shot?

[–]jack_spankin 0 points1 point ago

With those old cameras and film you often only had one chance at a good shot even if you had all the film in the world. That is why you see old press clippings of news photographers with more than one camera.

[–]whowouldnt 1 point2 points ago

4th time I've seen this on here...

[–]Mistrial 1 point2 points ago

So tell me how he deals with reposts?

[–]keshav108 1 point2 points ago

cunning ruse? Isn't a ruse already a cunning plan or something?

[–]HankMcCoy7410 31 points32 points ago

Yes, Daniel, we've never heard the word "ruse" before. Thanks for brightening up my fucking day.

[–]JenniiXCore 41 points42 points ago

But it's not often we hear word such as "ruse". We should treasure it!

[–]Nebakanezzer 17 points18 points ago*

A ruse? b-riiiiing. Hi, it's the 1930s, can we have our words, and clothes, and shitty plane back?

[–]DrBeansPhD 43 points44 points ago

And watch out for that Hitler chap, he's a bad egg.

[–]jackcatalyst 3 points4 points ago

WHAT DID YOU PUT IN THE SINK!?

[–]Shooper_Scooper 7 points8 points ago

You. I like you.

Also, I beg your pardon?

[–]jmier 0 points1 point ago

It all makes sense...

[–]RadiantSun 2 points3 points ago

brb, going to re-watch those 4 episodes of Archer.

[–]nzhamstar 0 points1 point ago

4? I thought there was three, shit did I miss one...

[–]RadiantSun 0 points1 point ago

NoUPE, you're actually right, I was wrong on this one.

[–]nzhamstar 0 points1 point ago

Damn I was hoping there was 4 lol...

[–]crackdog 2 points3 points ago

Also he quite clearly states that Americans don't hear it 'often'. Not that Americans have never heard it before.

[–]rdmusic16 7 points8 points ago

He is arrogant about it, but I do believe he is correct in that the word 'ruse' is seldom used/heard in American television.

[–]hamlet9000 66 points67 points ago

He is arrogant about it...

IIRC, the audience laughs at the use of the word. He's just playing along with their reaction.

[–]shartmobile 34 points35 points ago

Get out of here with your context!

[–]Poltras 5 points6 points ago

Con-what? Thet ain't no werd I hear on TeeVee!

[–]rdmusic16 -1 points0 points ago

Oh, he was definitely being humorous. It's hard to tell in a joke how much is faked and how much isn't. I usually feel like he is a little too arrogant, but it could just be how I perceive him (and could be wrong).

[–]powerchicken 15 points16 points ago

He is being humorous, not necessarily arrogant.

[–]rdmusic16 1 point2 points ago

You're correct, he was definitely being humorous about it. I think he's slightly arrogant overall, but it could just be how I perceive his demeanour.

[–]shoziku -4 points-3 points ago

Condescending is more like it. Maybe it's his word.

[–]powerchicken 1 point2 points ago

I don't think you know what condescension means.

[–]strothgar 6 points7 points ago

I heard it at a video store once....

[–]spikey666 2 points3 points ago

You're not allowed to rent here anymore!

[–]Bluemoo25 0 points1 point ago

I love arrogance.

[–]Jubeii 1 point2 points ago

Can't take a fucking joke? Man, you deserve to have been pissed off.

[–]planet_rob -5 points-4 points ago

And yes, Daniel, we can't tell the difference between different colored shirts either. We'll just think that the yellow t-shirt you wore is still the same t-shirt when it appears to be black.

[–]shoziku -3 points-2 points ago

thank you for teaching our whole country a rather mundane word!

[–]goonerredandwhite 3 points4 points ago

I don't understand why they can't be published. If they just want pictures of Radcliffe doing shit why can't they public pictures of him doing that?

[–]spikey666 13 points14 points ago*

It looks like basically the same photo every time. So they can''t sell it.

[–]HappyDays7 3 points4 points ago

Because then it just seems like it's all from the same day and people will realize it.

[–]goonerredandwhite 3 points4 points ago

Fox news bullshit everyday and not everybody realize it.

[–]MayTheFusBeWithYou 35 points36 points ago

And yet this was the first time I've seen this, what a crazy world. Imagine, not coming across something last posted 3 months ago. If you've already seen it, just move on, it's not like its existence blocks other content. Where is this person even making the claim, hey wow this is something new, original and never-before-seen? If stuff was never reposted, a lot of people would miss out on a lot of stuff. Newsflash, a bunch of other people have pointed this out already, so why are you pointing out that it's a repost? Could it be that you missed them doing so?

[–]truestoryrealtalk 5 points6 points ago

Seriously, there's already an upvote and downvote system in place that deals with this quite well, if a lot of people have seen it already, it will get downvoted, if it's funny or interesting and a lot of people haven't seen it already it will get upvoted. There's nothing wrong with pointing out that it's a repost but there's also no need to bitch about it (not implying that apullin was)

[–]lockwolf -5 points-4 points ago

It seems like every week, this gets reported and somehow crawls out of new. Burn it

[–]SweetNeo85 50 points51 points ago

Quick question...

Was the first time you saw it the very first time it had ever been posted?

[–]sarge21 142 points143 points ago

Jesus fucking Christ are you serious? Holy shit this is the first I've heard of things being reposted. I'm as upset as you are. Seriously, I get so upset when I see a submission that I've obviously seen before, and then I have to click it, and look at it, and then go into the comments and post on it. It wastes so much time and I am seriously bummed the motherfuck out. I pine for the days when each of the millions of Redditors catered specifically to those who have seen and memorized literally every submission posted.

[–]tenthweasley 28 points29 points ago

I like you. You'll go far.

[–]The_Real_JS 6 points7 points ago

Which is funny, because he's been here longer than you :P

[–]superkidney 2 points3 points ago

Filthy plebeians, "joining" Reddit.

[–]jew_jitsu 6 points7 points ago

What the world looks like with nothing but OCA whole lotta nothing and one crazy fuck driving a dalek.

[–]reparadocs 2 points3 points ago

I VOLUNTEER TO BE THE CRAZY FUCK

...

Driving a Dalek looks fun

[–]Osiris32 0 points1 point ago

'E's not pinin', 'e's passed on!!

[–]angrystuff 0 points1 point ago

BETWEEN THIS AND EA MAKING MONEY I AM SO ANGRY ... ABOUT STUFF ... IT MAKES ME EVEN MORE ANGRY!

[–]chmod-007-bond -4 points-3 points ago

Oh you don't like reposts? Holy shit you're so fucking arrogant why do you want the whole internet to change for you blah blah blah die in a fire strawman.

I don't get why there's so many people doing what you do everytime this conversation topic comes up. Maybe, just maybe it's possible to apathetically complain about something. Maybe, just maybe it's a legitimate complaint. More people are satisfied if it's all new content than reposts, so I don't get why there's a cunt like you in every thread about this. A cunt that also assumes everyone else is super upset instead of the reality of mild annoyance being the strongest emotion a person can feel on the internet.

[–]MayTheFusBeWithYou 1 point2 points ago

Because a repost for you is not a repost for everyone. A repost doesn't take content away from you, you can just click the next button and there'll be a whole bunch of new stuff for you. There's a "cunt" complaining about people bitching about reposts because there are always a bunch of people jumping on the OMG THIS IS A REPOST AND THEREFORE HOLDS NO VALUE FOR ANYONE, IT'S NOT IRONIC AT ALL THAT SOMEONE CALLED THIS OUT AS A REPOST BEFORE I DID EFFECTIVELY MAKING MY POST ABOUT IT BEING A REPOST A REPOST headexplode bandwagon

[–]sarge21 2 points3 points ago

More people are satisfied if it's all new content than reposts, so I don't get why there's a cunt like you in every thread about this.

Wait how am I a cunt? I totally agree with you and the OP. Why Reddit won't implement some sort of system wherein users can indicate which content they like is beyond my feeble mind.

[–]chmod-007-bond -1 points0 points ago

You really can't figure out how your paragraph response to lockwolf's small statement is being a cunt? Really? You've never seen your post, pretty much the exact same idea and formula, in every single repost comment section you've ever seen?

Hey guys, here are the super obvious facts and no analysis or critical thinking. Also let's prop up a strawman to attack, his hate burns with the fire of a million suns and it's only triggered by his autism detecting a repost which a normie would completely ignore. He wants a marginally different website experience with less repetition: what a fucking retarded angry faggot.

[–]TheoQ99 -2 points-1 points ago

Yeah that's fine and all for the occasional repost, but lately /r/funny has been nothing but reposts, and this one is posted quite often as it is.

[–]warnerrr 11 points12 points ago

I'm about to hit the five year mark as a subscriber, and I have never seen it.

[–]rdmusic16 7 points8 points ago

Never seen it.

[–]Enex -1 points0 points ago

Looks like we're going to have to torch the bones. http://imgur.com/9Wkkm

[–]RJT524 1 point2 points ago

Thats probably why we keep seeing this and assume its a repost

[–]dumbgaytheist 1 point2 points ago

Oh yes, Daniel, we'll treasure your clever vocabulary. clappity clap clap

[–]TheRiff -1 points0 points ago

The reason you don't hear "ruse" on American television much is because it sounds cheesy, like a word a 50's comic book villain would use to describe his nefarious schemes while rubbing his hands together.

[–]Vorokar 19 points20 points ago

All the more reason to use it more. Hmmph.

[–]TheRiff 5 points6 points ago

To make ruse acceptable in more situations, or to make different situations cheesier?

They both sound good to me.

[–]Vorokar 4 points5 points ago

Both! Always both. Or one, and then the other.

[–]Shyr 1 point2 points ago

I'd say it's one of those words that only works with an English accent. Like 'privy'. Try saying 'privy' in an American accent and not sounding like a dick.

[–]ultimamax 0 points1 point ago

How would this ruin it exactly?

[–][deleted] ago*

[deleted]

[–]ultimamax 0 points1 point ago

Yes, but what different photo angles? That would differentiate them a bit, no?

[–]spikey666 0 points1 point ago

I'm sure it isn't a game ender or anything. But, I think the the idea is that the tabloid or the blog or whatever, isn't interested in running basically the same photo every week. They want something new and different. They'd feel like the paparazzo was just being lazy. Although who knows, maybe the sort of people who actually look at that shit wouldn't notice.

[–]ultimamax 0 points1 point ago

Since these pictures are going in a magazine, I doubt I'd be looking at riveting visuals all the time (rather than something like TMZ) and the fake stories would be more interesting. I doubt they actually get much coverage on radcliffe anyway, he's pretty boring to write about. This plan is flawed, but apparently it works enough to make them mad.

[–]xebo 0 points1 point ago

Yeah! I do the same thing to keep the paparazzi away from me

[–]frisky123 0 points1 point ago

Seen this many times before but it is funny. I dont mind if some people have spent less time on the Internet than me and hadn't seen it before

[–]thelordofcheese 0 points1 point ago

So... he dressed like a normal person?

[–]shoziku 0 points1 point ago

What word? Cunning?

[–]jprothro89 0 points1 point ago

Excelent trolling

[–]InYourFaceBook 0 points1 point ago

I wear the same thing every day also...you mean I could be a movie star?!?!?!?!?!

[–]Purple_Streak 0 points1 point ago

No.

[–]Quizchris -2 points-1 points ago

I wonder how he deals with reposts

[–]HappyDays7 10 points11 points ago

Probably by not fucking caring like a reasonable person.

[–]KillerG 0 points1 point ago

Well played Harry Potter

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

I'm pretty sure that this is a fairly common method of dealing with paparazzi.

[–]joshawnard 12 points13 points ago

Saw it for the first time. Thought it was funny and insightful. Not everyone has checked every reddit link for the last 5 years.

[–]jk20 5 points6 points ago

You missed two words there. Be careful next time.

[–]bathroomodyssey 2 points3 points ago

Letters. If you are going to correct someone, at least use the right syllable.

Do you know what a syllable is?

[–]legalizemarinara 7 points8 points ago

we kinda own you

please elaborate

[–]Downvoted_Defender 3 points4 points ago

What he meant to say was that he is so jealous of their success that he feels as though it's only fair that they suffer a little bit.

At least that's what I got out of it.
