[–]SRowan 20 points21 points ago

Yeah fairies wear boots and ya gotta believe me

[–]dan2737 21 points22 points ago

I saw it, I saw it with my own two eyes!

[–]damnsammm 21 points22 points ago

[–]exitpursuedbybear 17 points18 points ago

[–]Fapologist 9 points10 points ago

[–]Ontopourmama[!] 2 points3 points ago

Just Congo away.

[–]applesforadam 11 points12 points ago

Ozzy was right!

[–]DownvoteAttractor 2 points3 points ago

And they're gonna shoot your head off.

[–]Dogfonos 2 points3 points ago

The boots set it off. You wanna say something, but you see those boots, and you know its serious.

[–]mourningstarify 1 point2 points ago

Let me thank everyone here that made a Black Sabbath reference because that's the first thing I thought when I saw this picture.

[–]bftrollin402 -3 points-2 points ago

beat me to it...by 2 hours haha

[–]Anopheles_stingz 55 points56 points ago

pictures of child soldiers make me sad

[–]thegreatvortigaunt 19 points20 points ago

It's not real, it's from a film.

EDIT: Sorry, you're right. Pics of child soldiers are sad, whether or not this one is real.

[–]philistic53 13 points14 points ago

I'm very happy to learn that this particular image is from a film.

[–]gringo1980 -1 points0 points ago

What film?

[–]zimzimzim 3 points4 points ago

Johnny Mad Dog http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1042424/

[–]jamstight 7 points8 points ago

This whole picture makes me sad because a lot of the child soldiers genuinely believe that their leaders have some mystical power which will protect them in battle.

[–]Jagjamin 1 point2 points ago

General Butt Naked clearly had some mystical power. Only protected him though.

[–]UNHDude 3 points4 points ago

Me too... but look on the bright side, at least they don't have DADT.

[–]Incruentus -1 points0 points ago

Neither does the US.

[–]albequirky 2 points3 points ago

No one said they did.

[–]SelectaRx 1 point2 points ago

I dunno... This kid really seems like a badass.

[–]FredL2 0 points1 point ago

Purrhaps this post will make your mood better.

[–]fenrirs_child 14 points15 points ago

Hey! Listen!

[–]iamaprettykitty 83 points84 points ago

I know this is kind of horrible, but would any one else play a child soldier MMO?

I'm guessing those wings give him +2 Dex.

[–]albequirky 43 points44 points ago

I hope EA's KONY 2013 gives you all-access management options...I felt KONY 2012 was lacking in that area.

[–]OccamsAxe 4 points5 points ago

I really didn't want to upvote you. But I had to. That was beautiful and terrible, my friend.

[–]IxiusRoulee 2 points3 points ago

I'd fuckin do it.

[–]raelrok 1 point2 points ago

Clearly someone used their "Decoy" ability.

[–]RandomIdiot 1 point2 points ago

This is from a movie IIRC

[–]Dwnvtngthdmms 0 points1 point ago

I know we all got a good laugh out of the whole KONY thing, but child soldiers are still very real.

[–]sixninemedia 5 points6 points ago

Fuck that....Here, take any tooth you want.

This comment generated by an automated bot. Is this match wrong?

[–]pburn883 2 points3 points ago

I think you messed up here

[–]35nnnn 2 points3 points ago

It finds the image without [FIXED] in the title. I was confused at first, too.

[–]pburn883 1 point2 points ago

ahh... thanks for the clarification

[–]Holoscope 1 point2 points ago

It's a black guy with fairy wings. Seems about right.

[–]lost2darkness 3 points4 points ago

Would love to know the source for this.

[–]thegreatvortigaunt 6 points7 points ago

It's from Johnny Mad Dog, a film about South African rebels. It's not real.

[–]infidel118i 4 points5 points ago

Though it's based on the real civil war in liberia, and features actors who were child soldiers themselves.

[–]thegreatvortigaunt 1 point2 points ago

It's a brilliant film, I didn't know the actors were former child soldiers.

[–]lost2darkness 2 points3 points ago

Thank you - was wondering about the context.

edit: I missed a word :P

[–]Solkre 3 points4 points ago

What a contrast between what the child's life is, and what it should be for his age.

[–]Ryanair 2 points3 points ago

My charac in Shoot many Robots looks exactly the same.

[–]Kinkie_Pie 2 points3 points ago

Someone should tell that fairy that his crack his showing.

[–]InVultusSolis 2 points3 points ago

Stamped receiver AK. Figures, it IS Africa.

[–]derpetteseducer 1 point2 points ago

Hey hey there...nothing wrong with stamped receivers!

[–]HamsterGutz 2 points3 points ago

Pulling them off!

[–]NotSoGreatGonzo 2 points3 points ago

Oh fuck. It's the lead fairy!

[–]Osiris32 2 points3 points ago

Tinkerbell is back. And this time, she's mad.

THIS SUMMER.

After years of being kicked around neverland, forgotten by Peter, and abused by the remnants of Captain Hook's crew, Michelle Rodriguez is Tinkerbell in Hook 2, Wings of Vengeance.

"Who's clapping now, motherfucker?"

RATED R.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points ago

That's fucking heartbreaking

[–]Rapistsmurf 1 point2 points ago

And for the price of a cup of coffee each day, you can fund this poor childs ability to buy ammo!

[–]smeaglelovesmaster 1 point2 points ago

I would kill for those boots (not him, obviously, because he's got a gun).

[–]Captain_Cowboy 2 points3 points ago

Here ya go. They're called "ropers", based on the heel.

[–]burly_shirley 1 point2 points ago

Oh man, I own those same boots. ... embarrassing.

[–]flylotus 1 point2 points ago

why do they wear weird stuff like this?

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]flylotus -1 points0 points ago

you gotta be kidding me. can you source it please?

[–]anonymous_doner 1 point2 points ago

Tinkerbadass

[–]l3lueSunScar 1 point2 points ago

Hey! Listen!! unloads clip I SAID LISTEN MOTHER FUCKER!!

[–]DatAssociate 1 point2 points ago

He's gonna dust you.

[–]darkmooninc 1 point2 points ago

Changeling: The Lost - Kony 2012 edition.

[–]hikeordie 1 point2 points ago

TIL the tooth fairy has child soldiers.

[–]FS_STRANGER 1 point2 points ago

one of kony's paratroopers. . . ?

[–]yournew-GOD 1 point2 points ago

I may have seen this on reddit, but google "general buttnaked" or "the vice guide to Liberia"

[–]SerDelta 1 point2 points ago

Sneak up behind it quietly and try to trap it in your hands. Its foolproof.

[–]Hagones 1 point2 points ago

Only I who tought about the song Fairies Wear Boots and how fitting it is to the picture?

[–]LobsterJockey 1 point2 points ago

Kony's little angel... So cute.

[–]aakaakaak 1 point2 points ago

It's the Kony fairy!

[–]sparklyacidfairy 1 point2 points ago

duh

[–]Ontopourmama[!] 1 point2 points ago

I wondered what happened to my daughters donated costumes.

[–]Rapistsmurf 1 point2 points ago

The christian childrens fund has been buying the wrong stuff

[–]burgerking4 1 point2 points ago

Repost

[–]Xtianpro 1 point2 points ago

Cracking boots though.

[–]wildstargoethe 1 point2 points ago

I laughed. How fucked up would it be to walk around the corner and be killed by that kid? :)

[–]Warpigpen 1 point2 points ago

This picture needs to be turned into an epic open world video game with the little guy in the picture as the hero...he looks just like that gun and all and his world is just like the background in the pic. Mass Effect meets Fallout as seen through the eyes of the little guy with blue boots and fairy wings toting a big ass gun. This a hero with a story to tell and people to kill.

Edit - grammar

[–]The_cynical_panther 1 point2 points ago

Fairies wear boots, now you gotta believe me. I saw it, I saw it, I tell you no lies.

[–]Lynch117 1 point2 points ago

Me and my friends have come up with this thing where we call each other fairies when we do something that is not easily done, especially when we play basketball. Me and my best friend have twisted this by calling each other 'ferrys', cuz, and this is his words, "Women love to ride the ferry."

[–]jp_lolo 1 point2 points ago

those are the coolest shoes i've ever seen!

[–]racekarl 0 points1 point ago

you idiot that's obviously not a fairy. what the kid's done is he attached bright colored wings so that the bullets fired at him will slide off his skin.

[–]jennstarr12 0 points1 point ago

:(

[–]TheTChild 0 points1 point ago

I think this is Liberia

[–]FWcodFTW 0 points1 point ago

Of course they hold AKs

[–]Sanity_prevails 0 points1 point ago

The original Rwandan Hipster, ladies and gentlemen!

[–]Barong02 0 points1 point ago

Redbull gives you wings...and an assault rifle...and blue cowboy boots? Wait, is that just a gay version of texas?

[–]dirtymuffins23 -4 points-3 points ago

kid was probably jacked up on heroin so much he probably thought he could really fly

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]darkmooninc 2 points3 points ago

Breaking Bad taught me this. It also taught me when you're flying, the landing is ROUGH.

[–]dirtymuffins23 -1 points0 points ago

no my mommy told me this.

[–]StencilPrinter -1 points0 points ago

I just launched it four hours ago, but it was severly severely disliked, so I deleted it http://imgur.com/a/oNZsH
