This, I feel, is a shining example of wtf without being gore or funny. It's just fantastically strange and confusing. There are elements of the picture that are absolutely inscrutable, and it leaves me scratching my head going "wtf was going on there?" instead of "OH MY GOD WHY!?"

I believe this photo may be from a scambaiting website. The users respond to scams and offer to send money if the scammers fulfill wacky requests. Photos like these can be the result.

My thoughts exactly. I used to browse 419eater.com and laugh my ass off at the things these scammers will do once they're convinced that payday is just a silly photo away.

If those dudes were Japanese, I'd think nothing of it, but since they're black, it seems weird and wrong.

What the flying fuck did I just see?

scambaiting at its finest

now that's what I call WTF

[–]Khuskan 0 points1 point ago

I'm pretty sure this is from 419 baiter for those who are curious. It's a counter-scam to Nigerians claiming to be princes/bankers/made of solid diamond as long as you can front them $20,000 in transaction fees.

I saw a video in my arts class where dancers pose like this for a certain artist who had a painting just like this.
