Tsunami Monster pic

Standard Toaster

Apparently this 'thing' was found and was a victim of the tsunami in thailand....that or it's a great photochop......??

What do you think?

Mr.Nice Guy

What the hell is that?

RobertFoster

Reminds me of something from Resident Evil. Either that, or a weird fish.

Töpher

Its probably just one of those ultra-deep sea fishes that live at the bottom of the canyons etc. Some of those things look terrifying!

Jammer

the chains kinda look weird, maybe photoshop..

joePC

Looks alot like the new Unreal 3 engine (Test image) photochoped into a head off a fish image.

Anyways thats just me.....

Look at the head

David19

I've seen that thing on the internet before. Can't remember where though

I was thinking the same meself Joe but couldn't find an Unreal3 pic to match it online. If it is a photochop it's a very good one.....notice how the stick throws a shadow onto the head. Why there's a chain attached to it though....??

NotMe

Looks like there's a fish hook through its head and the chain is just attached to the handle of the hook.

If its a photoshop, its very good. Where the stick touches the head looks a bit off to me, but I suppose anything can if ya stare at it long enough. Where did you find it anyway?

The site I found it on has p0rn/p0rn links on it too so I'm not sure if it's ok to post it.

tovalee

robbie1876

From the original site:

Subject: What the fcuk is that ???
Hi there, I'm from Germany and a big fan of your site and i think that this pic is really good stuff for your site...... What the fcuking hell is that ??? The story i heard about it was that this human-animal-monster (???) was an victim of the tsunami in thailand....i think it's a perfect thing for the X-Files Lt. Mulder and Scully......... Best regards from Germany and thanks for your incredible site

I was hoping someone seen this elsewhere or has a link to the original photochopped image. No mention of this on [size=-1]www.snopes.com either.[/size]

Send it to snopes forums. Going to have a looksee if it is photoshopped.

Here is how to see if something is photoshopped. Turn it into a negative image. It is much easier to see edits in the picture then.

If you look from where the pole is in the head up to the chain part you will see there has been some editing there, along with the side of the head + hand there is also editing done. There is also some editing on the kids hand and the left side of the head doesn't match up with the picture.

I'd say it was photoshopped and the head was dropped on top of something.

tinkerbell

Some of those fish really were hitten with the ugly stick! :eek:

bringitdown

mmmm deep fried fangtooth, I'm off to Beshoffs.

nachos

looking at the original picture in negative, i can't see any obvious cuts or joins. maybe i'm just looking in the wrong places!

pat kenny

The only thing real about that picture is the guys boobs.
Check those puppys out.

Crucifix

I wouldn't say it's photoshopped, but it looks too much like a left over Evil Dead prop to be real.

seamus

Here's the negative of it. Can't see anything strange, but I wouldn't have an eye for it.

I don't think it's photoshopped, probably a still or a crew shot from some movie.

TerrorFirmer

Thats an excellent photoshop edit, if that's what it is.....damn creepy picture too. I spent ages just staring at it...... :eek:

super_furry

That's an old picture that predates the tsunami. I remember being emailed it and the mail claimed the pic was taken in Mexico and the head was suposed to be that of a Chupacabra.

seamus

Submitted to snopes for investigation.

Comes from <snip> but I can't access it from here. Dunno if it's SFW.

Bottle_of_Smoke

Loadsa weird fish were found on some expedition, then after the tsunami a loada websites got the original pics and claimed the tsunami washed them up, that thing looks scarily human though

The_B_Man

its probably just a gone off dolphin or tuna.

bounty

yes prolly a type of tuna, they have heads like that, and after a few weeks of decomposing they can look a mess

Mr. CooL ICE

I dont see how that could be a fish. The teeth are very un-fish like for me.

Also, those guys look more mexican than indonesian IMO

The_B_Man

dolphins arent fish!

i cant believe nobody has said its a mask yet! most obvious explanation. u can buy things like that in town for 20 euro. if it was real i'd say there'd be more news coverage. it hasnt even been mentionied on TV3 news and u know wat they're like!

ClareBear

Ah man if that's real that's fuppin scary! :eek:

Deadwing

That looks like the best contender so far. Except for the [lack of] fangs.

Pet

I'd say it's photoshopped or something. There are plenty of much-worse-looking fish, but the teeth on that look more mammalian than anything else. So it's either a fake, photoshopped, or a real, non-marine creature.

The_B_Man

Pet, its either real, fake, or somebody edited the photo? how do you come to that conclusion?

Tusky

Its fake. Theres a whole series of these pictures from about a year ago on the net, I'll have a look around my computer for the rest of them.

Does anyone remember those pictures of the alien in a bed with a girl and a guy. It looked really real and I think the alien was pouring something on the girl. Well those pictures are from the same series.

I have the linky to the guy who done the pics website somewhere, will post it if I can find it.

Decomposed seal?

That's quite plausible, or perhaps a Walrus given the size of the head. Although lacking major tusks, I'm sure there are breeds of these animals we're not familiar with, and it's not exactly an in-depth picture.

*Page*

if the picture did get thrown up remeber the force of the water and the battering it would have gotten..

its body is missing

Doper Than U

Looks to me like a mask or a prop from a theatrical make-up type thing. Probably some college guys doing an Area 51/X-files alien. Excellent work whoever did it.

jezza

Sh!t that is so gross, what the hell is yer man at picking the fishes nose with a stick....*shudder*
