Over the past 72 hours, I chanced upon two photographs that one can only describe as extremely disturbing.
Actually, “chanced” isn’t the right word. I was tricked into viewing them by fellow bloggers I thought I could trust. Indeed, going back and forth in my mind, I truly cannot decide which person I should punish first.
So, I’m putting it to a vote!
Extremely Disturbing Photo A
Extremely Disturbing Photo B
You may cast your votes in the comments. No matter how strong the compulsion to purge yourself of these psychologically damaging images, please refrain from being too specific about the subject matter. We needn’t spoil it for others.
I’d like to see Tom Cruise eat THAT placenta.
Neither one eats meat.
The second one.
The first one is part of nature, which cannot be said of the second.
B, ’cause it does not occur naturally.
Looks like Michael Jackson’s inspiration for plastic surgery.
The second one needs a steak from the first but I don’t think she can wait that long.
F this.
Here’s my vote…
http://www.thesuperficial.com/archives/2006/04/18/scarlett_johansson_wears_bikin.html
number two needs to go to a tanning booth and call it a “straight” up exchange for Michael Jackson.
I disagree with Plato’s Stepcow. I think the second one does eat meat.
I’ll have to go with B, and wonder if it wasn’t brought into the world the same way as the calf?
That first one wasn’t disturbing; I have done that myself about 50 times – the joys of growing up on a ranch.
That second one made me shudder though. Thanks, IronMan, for supplying the antidote.
uh oh ,porters grampa is bob porter , conservative mp for medicine hat a while back . and the porters got a big buffalo herd . damn , eat beef .
I’ve seen photo B described as Ellen Degeneres and Portia DeRossi’s love child.
Coouldn’t get the link to work. So I’ll vote for what I didn’t see, Disturbing Photo B.
Perhaps blindness is not a handicap at all…
Are we absolutely sure the second picture isn’t a somewhat stoned Jennifer Aniston with a new haircut?
Peter you beat me to it. Kate, thanks for destroying any Jenifer Aniston fantasy I ever had. Photo B is the most disturbing photo.
a)Porterhouse
b)Porterhomme?
I could not get B to work but I will vote for it – A is not disturbing to a rancher’s kid, like Ed M., I ‘ve seen that a hundred times; a cute little calf wobbles to his feet after about 15 min. That little calf needed help into the world, this is a life saving photo. That rancher should be given a hero’s medal from PETA.
Imagine trying to assist a first time calver, -30, wind howling and your all alone.
This is just one of the million things that each farmer and rancher does each year to feed the ingrates that live in our cities.
Canada needs to come to grips with a couple of facts.
If we don’t fix our rural problem, we will have no control over our food, and that will be a huge tragedy.
Both are obviously in their fertile child bearing years. The second one is still searching for a mate but with the help of the lipstick will likely not have to resort to “artificial insemination” in order to become impregnated.
I am also curious to see if the second ones breasts will fill out once the glow of pregnancy sets upon the individual.
Why hasn’t “Todd” weighed in on this sexy creature yet ??
Udderly unbelievable !!!
Looks like Photo B could use a vet too.
If the second photo is really a guy, he ought to fire his handlers and make-up crew, and do an extreme makeover, so that he could look like a guy again. The Saturday Nite Live skits pilloring ‘girlie boys’ would be so appropriate here.
Trust Sean to get the focus dead right…
I’m going with B and you are going to have to prove that’s not a rather aneorexic girl. It’s not just the hair and the lipstick…it’s wearing a “top” not a shirt.
Photo “B”.
Eww.
b,
I didn’t think it could get any worse than that TV Guide cover a while back… I was wrong!
Either way, Tom Cruise will not be going hungry tonight.
B–wouldn’t even be good for Soylent Green!
When I clicked on the first link I thought – yeah what’s wrong with that- happens everyday out her in big sky country.
When I clicked on the second – I looked at the picture and thought – that’s a pretty girl – kind of skinny though – then I scrolled down and the name caught my eye.
KALEN PORTER!!! KALEN PORTER!!! – what the hell happened to him. (for any of you above that “seriously” thought he was a girl).
I saw Carrie Underwood the other day and was shocked by how thin she was too – I guess if you win American or Canadian Idol – you have to lose the wholesome – kid next door – look if you want to make it. Guess that is why we don’t hear too much from Rueben Studdart anymore?
Sorry Kate – the big black wording just got through to me – I guess it is too late to not “be too specific about the subject matter” – it is still early morning out here and the sun is blasting through the window into my eyes – (that is my excuse)
Kalen is going to have to swallow a walnut to keep his jammys up. That photo is totally disturbing. Luckily, I never saw it until morning, as it may have gave me night horses if I had seen it before going to bed. If Kalen were to stick his tongue out he really would look like a zipper.
Being thin is probably a very healthy life choice. Looking like this is an indication of serious mental and physical issues.
I’ve helped pull out a calf with a chain. It is a moment of wonderment. The second photo makes you wonder.
Kate,
What is it with all the photos and captions.
The comments are childish and something you might expect from a schoolyard bully.
The only upside is that it shows the true colours of conservatives and how ridiculous and thoughtless they can be.
Photo 2…
BDT, I have nothing to say. Except… ‘young’ or ‘talented’? Which one are you laying claim to?
ladyboy ladyboy fly away home,
your lips are on fire,
and you are all alone.
blogwell fray: Actually, it shows that we can lampoon, parody, poke fun at, and tease with the best of leftist humorists. Your selfrigheous little quip is so typical; you don’t see the constant racist, bigotted, snide, arrogant humorless humor leveled by lefties, yet a little fun on a blog you consider conservative (mistake there) and you go all preachy. Looks like you need about a 10 hour dose of South Park to harden up that “we are the world” arrogance a bit. Relax!
Photo A: Beautiful
Photo B: Mom’s and Dad’s; To all of those who want their children to grow up famous, maybe you will rethink yourself. What does it say when you take a nice looking country boy and turn him into a “Boy George” Sorry but that was the first thought that came to mind. AND he need to eat something!
No.2.
It’s non-specific subject matter.
I demand a test to determine the sex of photo 2. Anyone remember the tests run on russian women competing in the olympics, to prove they were not men. Stripping wasn’t allowed. My first thought was it was Julie VD, finally getting a much needed new hairstyle.
O.T.- just heard on cbc that the 10yr old girl will get the Horton SUV. Other family out of luck, as is the janitor.
Which Olsen twin is that?
Yikes! #2 looks like a Farinelli wannabe.
I don’t think even a good Vet could save Photo B.
Photo A reminds me of Sugarbaby , my Rott , when she had her 13 puppies.
I think I see some cleavage in photo B.
” Platos Stepcow” now that is just too funny!
“B” isn’t very funny at all. 🙁
The second picture is disturbing because it has an uncanny resemblance to the new male barbie doll that was in the newspaper this morning. I don’t know what this means but I do find it a little distressing.
Photo 1: So? Looks like a fine animal
Photo 2: ew. Wash your face, wipe that stoned smirk off while yer at it, and eat something!
Obviously B, A is is normal (okay it’s a ditto!)
Kate
Imagine my horror when I saw “B” close up. The picture at least has distance between the reader and the image.
My eyes bleed for days.
Thanks for A, Kate. Beautiful. Wishing I was back on the farm again.
Good stuff, Kate.
One natural, one disturbing, and yet both pictures are educational in their way.
