More like photographic proof of just how pathetic the sense of humor of most people is. There are a handful of good ones, like the Wallace and Gromit and "What's this button for?" ones, but lame pretty much describes the bulk of them.

Sorry, just my opinion here.

An opinion pretty much shared. I wasn't expecting a spoof site, and thought we had new material to appraise.

I think we do need levity, good hearty laugh, but this site actually seems to be too much of a waste (downright racist in some images!!)

Speaking of laughter, David (Hall), i loved the BS neutrinos and dork matter!!

I'll have to take the word of others on this site. I clicked on it and after several minutes, I got the text of the home page and "140 items remaining, downloading picture". Sorry, I just don't have that kind of time on my hands. [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_frown.gif[/img]

Like Kaptain K said, I ain't got all day for the page to load either. And I think you people that think the moon landing was faked are abunch of morons. I'll bet you think the earth is flat and man will never fly either!

It is obvious that people have different senses of humor.

It is also obvious when people have 56k modems.... [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_frown.gif[/img]

For those of you withour braudband: It is basically a bunch of stupid photoshop photos of a picture of one of the astronauts on the moon (i don't know which one) and other astronauts doing kinky things or alinens doing kinky things, or several depictions of movie space ships. A joke.

I wish! My main 'puter (56k) is down. I am using my back-up (14.4k [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_frown.gif[/img] ).

I think the best one was the fake constellations, [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif[/img]. But, I do have a weird sense of humour.

I do have a problem with one of them though. The picture with the Nazi party flag is going way too far.

It appears to be a site that gives the readers an image to photoshop, and then you can vote on the best ones.

The photo they've been asked to manipulate this time is this one: http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a11/as11-40-5874.jpg

One thing's for sure, none of these guys will ever get jobs faking the photos for the next big hoax (Mars, anyone?).

I think David is right about the quality of the "photoshopping". I was scrolling through the images saying "lame, lame, lame ..." but then I got to the one where the words "Neil Sucks" was spelled out in astronaut footprints. Priceless.
