Civil Engineering Fail
Thx to victor from brasil:
Do you hear that? That faint whistling of the wind through the nearby rock formations? It almost sounds like… ssssshhhh… IMMINENT FAIL!

WOAH!
hey, my first first!
EVER.
yaaay.
Congratulations. Judging by how happy this makes you, it’s a safe bet to assume this will be the high point of your life.
the rock’s like om nom nom nom nom nom
ITS A MOUTH
wtf is nom nom nom nom
ur so weird
This is a win for they can make a secret laboratory in that rock
photoshop!
Shut the hell up.
It’s fucking photoshopped!! I use the program for a living, there’s 4 layers of repetition, it’s impossible to miss. Anyway, look at where the barriers are, FAILING to keep anyone out of harm’s way… if it was actually real
ya, it is
no it isn’t, you FAILED to be convincing
I don’t care if it’s fucking photoshopped, what I’m complaining about is people who insist on calling everything photoshopped every time you see a picture. Seriously, I don’t care if it’s been edited. Plus, it doesn’t make you pro by complaining that you think something’s fake. So shut the hell up and stop complaining, I don’t give a crap about what you think.
Dark… ITs not just that its photoshopped… its shit.
Real fails are far funnier than ones that are OBVIOUSLY fake.
This isnt fake its ust a failguy that tried to make a copy of the mount rushmore
Maybe the barriers say “please remain 5 meters away from what you’re reading”
… But yeah it’s definitely photoshopped.
Fake fails are shit.
photoshop…look at the middle of the rock…it repeats
That’s what many layers of rock do, they repeat.
Knowledge Fail + Geology Fail!
Wow, it’s photoshopped. Vision fail! Rock does not repeat HORIZONTALLY with such exact shapes and neither does the tree/grass on TOP of the cliff. Time to go to Lenscrafters!
Actually, rock can cripple in a way that the rock is shifted 90 degrees. Therefore, vertical bands of rock.
It’s
fucking
photoshop.
I work with it 80+ hours a week, I think I’d recognize the god damn clone stamp tool.
FAILSHOPPED! hehehe
80 hours…I think I’d recognise…FAIL!
sucks to be you.
……. A great chunk of earth like that shifted 90 degrees, then what?
Saw the road and went “WHOA! Can’t block that road there! I’m a small hill, and that would be bad”?
For it to “Cripple” would make it “Roll.”
Does that mean every pic of the Grand Canyon is photoshopped?
Nature is nothing but repetition and exact shapes, look at flowers for fuck’s sake, or how about ORGANS?! If nature doesn’t repeat the exact shape of a human heart, guess what, you die!
You also fail
geology is enjoyable to study.
Geology Fail: Layers may repeat vertically but we are talking about a horizontally repeat here. Looking at the grass on top and at the texture of the stones, this formation is clearly extended to the right, beginng above the right end of the garage.
what does that have to do with photoshopping? i know of many rock
formaitions(small cliffs, etc) that have horizonal repeats. i guess that this rock was turned over by a glaicial flow before the trees grew and it fell… or
something.
Well, repeating layers are something different than identically repeated pixels.
Anyway, I have never heard about blades of grass repeated on a identical pixel base.
But lets stop to to theorize and lets look at the photo. For me this looks very much like the Clone Tool of PS. And besides: Do you really think anyone would build a road underneath such a formation instead of removing the formation? Apart from the visible signs of manipulation – it’s the sense of the scene that is highly implausible, too.
An finally, why should this be a fail at all? Wouldn’t it more like an engineer achievement?
You’re right, this is clearly photoshopped. But if it were not, it would be an engineering fail because a dumb civil engineer decided to build a road under the rock that was clearly about to fall rather than around it or removing the rock.
You’re right, this is clearly peepee. But if it were not, it would be an engineering poopoo because a dumb civil peepeepoopoo decided to build a peepee under the poopoo that was clearly about to fall rather than around it or removing the peepeepoopoo.
Hee Hee Heee Heee! Under the the poopoo……hee hee.
“and it fell”??
From the sky?
Spatial location fail!
That’s GOTTA be photoshopped.. Or in Poland
In Soviet Russia, rock photoshops you!
WIN. XD
Best. Reply. Ever.
very badly photoshopped, but it was crazy anyhow.
actually, i spend lots of time telling photoshoped from real, and this isnt photoshopped.
fail
It is.
so you’ve never seen the clone stamp tool before? This looks like a damn 3-d magic eye picture.
WOW you seem to be very good spending lots of time telling PSed from real… did you ever heard about a thing called clone tool?
Then you fail sir. This is clearly photoshopped, and a formation like this wouldn’t have repeating, horizontal layers with the exact same particles and pebbles as the layer before it.
For the record, saying that you spend “lots of time telling photo shopped (spelling fail, btw) from real” does not make you any cooler… it just makes you a liar and/or blind.
6 sarcasm recognition failures in a row. AWESOME!
They should carve a face out of that rock. Just for fun.
I agree.
It kinda looks like it is a face… you see the mouth, and if you look in teh top-left corner there’s a round depression that could be the eye.
Let’s hope they get a better ‘Photoshopper’ to add that feature.
FAIL…at Photoshop. Learn to do it properly!
Funny though
FAIL at identifying obvious Photoshop work before posting!
Definitely photoshopped: look at the two areas circled here:

This post should be a failblog submission.
Another good title for this would be Impending Fail
who cares if it was photoshopped or not? its still funny!
No it isn’t. It’s only funny if you don’t understand physics, otherwise it just feels like a failed insult to my intelligence.
Cockyness fail!
Photoshop FAIL!
That would be so cool it it were real. And I’d also agree about the face comment too.
Okay so lets say that a section is photoshopped. If you moved the cliff back a little wouldn’t it still be just as dangerous.
Probably exists..Just doesn’t come out as far as pic shows…That almost defies gravity…Eh?

These look a little more stable.
It is ’shopped. I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few ’shops in my time.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it was resized using “seam carving” software.
Explained here + pdf with lots of info:
http://www.seamcarving.com/
and here:
http://www.downloadsquad.com/2007/08/29/adobe-hires-image-resizing-pioneer/
and you can try a demo of something similar here:
http://swieskowski.net/carve/
Wow, the “seam carving” demo is way cool!
Seamcarving = WIN!
(Everyone else, don’t look. Lets not start a trend here.)
Definitely photoshopped. Anyone that doesn’t think so is doing it wrong.
It certainly is still a crazy rock, even without the photoshop cloning.
Either photoshopped or rock can grow:

Wow, no need for a Shoop (da woop), the original is fail enough.
I agree. I think this picture should be pulled down and the original put up. Shopping this picture would be like shopping Dolly Parton’s boobs to look bigger, or trying to make Bob Dole look older and creepier. There is no need.
The real one looks so much cooler! Thanks for the link.
Or maybe the photo posted here was taken first, then some chunks of rock fell off or were forcibly removed, and then your “original” photo was taken.
…looks like SOMEONE had a little bit of fun with the rubber stamp tool…
with that amount of mass on the right hand side of the “mouth”it should fall over,i don’t think the rock is shopped,it’s the view underneath,!
This is an EPIC FAIL for physics.
Or a WIN for Photoshop.
Bummer, it’s photoshopped. That looks nuts! The original here still qualifies as fail IMO: http://www.doingitwrong.com/wrong/20070710-232009.jpg
I recommend replacing the image with the original linked above. Still fail.
It’ll be fine just as long as a butterfly doesn’t land on it.
Can’t we just ask the guy in the car if it’s photoshopped or not? However, it seems to defy the laws of physics…
do you guys have nothing better to do with your life other than debate the fact if a picture is photoshopped or not?
Move on with your lives, fuck.
Definitely shopped. But who cares?
Yes, would the skeptics be quiet so that we can ENJOY the picture rather than arguing about photoshop? I really don’t care less if it’s PSed… I just like to see a good photo.
It totally an OM NOM NOM
the yellow signs says, “watch for falling rock,” in japanese. yeah, i’d totally watch for the falling rock…
it is Funny, but yes…it is indeed very clearly Shopped. The horizontal repetitions and the weird vertical lines that intercut the repeated parts (look at the dry grass tufts at the top and you’ll see intervals of repetition there too)
on top of that, it just seems physically impossible, which ironically enough adds to the funny somehow.
Last
It needs a little Wiley Coyote with an umbrella standing under it.
win!!
NOT PHOTOSHOPPED. I rent that room on the left, and have to work over there in the distance. Ride my bike under the pebble every day. no probs.
ok theres no debate that it doesnt exist, its just that the rock was extended. it was made bigger with PS and also the ledge supporting it was made thinner.
That’s a house color fail.
The fact that some people here couldn’t see the INCREDIBLY OBVIOUS photoshop job here makes me very sad. It really makes me loose a bit of faith in mankind. Also, I’ve discovered that quite a few people here belong in the failblog itself.
Shame on you people, SHAME.
“The fact that some people here couldn’t see the INCREDIBLY OBVIOUS photoshop job here makes me very sad”
I don’t care if it’s photoshopped or not, honestly. And I’m entirely effing sick of people spamming the interblag with screams of “photoshopped!” Nobody cares, and you’re an annoying twit for screaming it.
i’m hai.
B.F.A. in Visual effects , SCAD.
working in Hollywood..
it’s photoshopped …. please use the band aid tool and some other samples from rock pictures to clean it up the layering is giving me a “magic eye” headache…
if you have to get other samples of rocks and dirt of of google even if the color dosn’t match you can then take a sample off of this photo and use the match tool . to “match” the color and lighting.
also sample some more grass, so the top isn’t so uniform .
Wow, with all the REAL material that people can draw on to post to this site, why waste everyone’s time with Photoshopped fakes?
not only real things are funny you know…
Dude. Its Master Chief!
what is failure here anyway?
the rock?
the house?
the road?
the sign under the rock?
i don’t get it.
That’s hillarious! Hope none of my jobs look like that.
HOLY FREAWKING CROW
It looks like a head that may eat the next unfortunate passerby
Nom, nom, nom, nom…
it really looks like a skull… a damn smiling skull.. like those on the toxic signs
Well i can’t tell if it’s photoshopped or not. never really used the program, but IF it is real then that’s more of a civil engineering WIN. it IS still standing
I like that there are two little twigs in the gap propping it up.
Even a blindman will see the photoshop clone stamp marks
photoshop for certain and physically impossible besides.
Hmm.
OMG IT’S GONNA EAT DA HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
its about time you stopped posting fail pics
