  1. omellet says:

    photochop?

  2. orange says:

    definitely photosplop.

  3. nobody says:

    most photohillarious

  4. spellcheck says:

    or perhaps photohilarious? spellcheck fail.

  5. Lindstrom says:

    love this one (even if it is photoshoped)

  6. Slater says:

    Heh heh. Alright.

    Take that, Africa!

  7. Tite says:

    Good!
    Don’t care if it’s photoshop.
    Very funny!

  8. doodle says:

    You guys must have a huge IQ and a degree in Stating the Obvious!

    Funny stuff :D

    • Lala says:

      YOU must have a degree in calling yourself “funny stuff” and just making my wet myself with laughter. Bravo. Bra-vo. *clap, clap, clap.*

      • Mick says:

        maybe “doodle” (what the?) was stating the opinion that it is funny stuff. it would read: “-Funny Stuff” if he/she was actually calling __self that. smart one.

  9. Anonymous says:

    If it’s not photoshoped, its a boat righting a derelict…

  10. Eric says:

    These are amazing!!

  11. maht says:

    This is an advertisement, the tag line has been cropped out.

  12. Spaztronomical says:

    tis better to fail anonymously than to never have commented at all.

  13. siementaa says:

    UN fails…

  14. Anonymous says:

    It’s not a fail in terms of honesty…

  15. Rabbit says:

    hahahaha its funny because its true

  16. Anonymous says:

    Yah, as was pointed out already this is an add: http://pixdaus.com/single.php?id=14579&from=embed

    What’s next? Posting edited allstate ads from youtube?

  17. Anonymous says:

    UN and FAIL…that’s redundant.

  18. shneepsy says:

    lol

  19. jcrue says:

    fake but accurate

  20. Ninja Kittens LOL says:

    This one’s probably not photoshopped. Instead, the guy probably just posed to have his picture taken like this.

  21. mrguy says:

    My uncle was the creative director for this ad campaign. The shot was setup like that. Mystery solved ;) Some photoshopping involved too …

  22. Dan says:

    This was a newspaper advertisment for ‘Die Burger’ newspaper in South Africa – that is my collegue that works at the ad agency.

  23. tron says:

    :::face plant:::

  24. Andrew says:

    The gun is a fail as well. Usless SA80

    • Bo says:

      Go for the SA98. It’s ever-so-slightly better. What I don’t get is how the british government are giving the Light Infantry AKA Cannon Fodder the Under-slung grenade launcher, while the Heavy infantry, who are more likely to storm buildings and such, aren’t.

  25. licai says:

    wow this is madd gay but wicked funny at da same time …. lol

  26. Myself says:

    What is the rifle? ive seen it before but dont remember which is it….

  27. cole-da-mole says:

    What would his helmet say fully anyway? unsc? unoa? or just UN? it doesnt look photoshlopped.

  28. Jacob says:

    Why does his hat say UN in exactly the same color and font anyway? not trying to hint anything here.

  29. munSUCKS says:

    he is a UN peacekeeper in africa thats why his helment says UN so he wont be mistaken for a soldier
    the poster and the helmet are both UN made

  30. thats just wow PLACEMENT FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  31. Stabber says:

    Fake or not this is brilliant.

  32. does my name matter here? says:

    yeah its photoshop… since when does a peace keeper get a L86?
    just kidding but, they do get guns and this could be real but who really cares?
    (another example of peacekeepers failing would be them trading their weapons for gold and ivory in congo)

  33. Ryu says:

    Arrrghh.. it isn’t neccessarily photoshopped, although I bet dollars to donuts it’s a setup. Faked *at the scene*, not on a PC later.

  34. elise says:

    i think the real problem here is that we really don’t do enough for Africa. i don’t like that America is the police officer of the world, but we could do more to help impoverished countries.

  35. weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... says:

    what does the picture look like? ive forgotten

  36. lovestoscrooge says:

    lolz this is frikin funny heeeeeeeee!

  37. ryan says:

    photopop hahaha jk just wanted to make fun of the word

  38. lndrvrboi says:

    the phot is fake. that is a british rifle (L85A1) there is no eyepiece on the sight and no dust cover. must be a prop as the british dont export the rifle and the sodier/actor is defo not a british soldier! the webgear and BDU are wrong

  39. Abel says:

    u will never see something like that again

  40. K9Dug says:

    The Rifle (L85A1) is only used by UK forces and the Jamaican defence force, the guy in the picture is neither, as stated above its a set up.

    cheers

    • APB says:

      true, but all nations that are in the un are required to supply peacekeeping troops with weapons and munitions. this would explain the l85a1’s presance, no?

  41. john says:

    he has an MP-5

  42. Andrew says:

    Maybe the reson why john is confused is because of the fact that Hekler and Koch, who make the MP- 5, are also owned by BAe Systems who also make the L85A1/2 or SA80. As I said before usless gun. Oh and the Mozambique defence force have them too.

    • not-a-bumblebee says:

      what are you smoking? h&k is independant and happens to be one of the best modern weapons designers. its the company that created masterpeices like the g36(e,k,c,ke,ect.) the mg36, the mg3, g3, mp5(k), mp7, the (x)m8, and many more.

  43. Anon says:

    I’m not qualified to spot fake photograph’s, but I can say with certainty this guy isn’t a real soldier. If you look at his right hand, you can see he has his finger on the trigger. A real soldier would have his finger outside of the trigger guard until he’s ready to shoot.

  44. Filip says:

    Did he die?

  45. matt. m says:

    holly shit, berrics logo

  46. frankie says:

    sure, it could be photoshopped. be that as it may, it’s still hilarious.

  47. ClariPossum says:

    I call WIN on this one. ^_^

  48. ice cream cone & pizza

  49. jd says:
