Civil Engineering Fail


Thx to victor from brasil:

fail-owned-pwned-pictures

Do you hear that? That faint whistling of the wind through the nearby rock formations? It almost sounds like… ssssshhhh… IMMINENT FAIL!

    WOAH!

  2. Anonymous says:

    photoshop!

  3. the user says:

    photoshop…look at the middle of the rock…it repeats

    • Riceinator says:

      That’s what many layers of rock do, they repeat.

      Knowledge Fail + Geology Fail!

      • Failurator says:

        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!

      • dragonkitteh_leelee says:

        geology is enjoyable to study.

      • Manni says:

        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.

        • dragonkitteh_leelee says:

          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.

          • Manni says:

            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?

            • xc says:

              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.

              • PEEPEEPOOPOO says:

                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.

          • Igor Santos says:

            “and it fell”??
            From the sky?
            Spatial location fail!

  4. Hawk says:

    That’s GOTTA be photoshopped.. Or in Poland :)

  5. sweter says:

    very badly photoshopped, but it was crazy anyhow.

  6. dragonkitteh_leelee says:

    actually, i spend lots of time telling photoshoped from real, and this isnt photoshopped.

  7. Anonymous says:

    They should carve a face out of that rock. Just for fun.

  8. Anonymous says:

    FAIL…at Photoshop. Learn to do it properly!
    Funny though :P

  9. Priscellie says:

    FAIL at identifying obvious Photoshop work before posting! :D

  10. Definitely photoshopped: look at the two areas circled here:

  12. katz says:

    Another good title for this would be Impending Fail

  13. Anonymous says:

    who cares if it was photoshopped or not? its still funny!

  14. Gbobman says:

    Photoshop FAIL!
    That would be so cool it it were real. And I’d also agree about the face comment too.

  15. Anonymous says:

    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.

  16. Keelhaul says:

    Probably exists..Just doesn’t come out as far as pic shows…That almost defies gravity…Eh?

  17. Douche says:

    It is ’shopped. I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few ’shops in my time.

  18. Coreburn says:

    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/

    • ClickClick says:

      Wow, the “seam carving” demo is way cool!
      Seamcarving = WIN!

      (Everyone else, don’t look. Lets not start a trend here.)

      :-)

  19. Joe says:

    Definitely photoshopped. Anyone that doesn’t think so is doing it wrong.

  20. Anonymous says:

    It certainly is still a crazy rock, even without the photoshop cloning.

    • Anonymous says:

      Wow, no need for a Shoop (da woop), the original is fail enough.

      • Homer says:

        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.

    • Jax says:

      The real one looks so much cooler! Thanks for the link.

    • smt says:

      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.

  21. Jon says:

    …looks like SOMEONE had a little bit of fun with the rubber stamp tool…

  22. twosheds says:

    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,!

  23. Pallmmm says:

    This is an EPIC FAIL for physics.

    Or a WIN for Photoshop.

  24. Timothy Burgher says:

    Bummer, it’s photoshopped. That looks nuts! The original here still qualifies as fail IMO: http://www.doingitwrong.com/wrong/20070710-232009.jpg

  25. m0nty says:

    I recommend replacing the image with the original linked above. Still fail.

  26. Kevin T. says:

    It’ll be fine just as long as a butterfly doesn’t land on it.

  27. Admiral Adama says:

    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…

  28. Anonymous says:

    Definitely shopped. But who cares?

  29. Anonymous says:

    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.

  30. Gezus says:

    It totally an OM NOM NOM

  31. nyan nyan says:

    the yellow signs says, “watch for falling rock,” in japanese. yeah, i’d totally watch for the falling rock…

  32. The Craoture says:

    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.

  33. LaStMaN says:

    Last

  34. Eyeoncomedy says:

    It needs a little Wiley Coyote with an umbrella standing under it.

  35. fox says:

    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.

    • phailman says:

      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.

  36. That’s a house color fail.

  37. Joe says:

    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.

  38. stogoe says:

    “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.

  39. paint says:

    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 .

  40. Starwaster says:

    Wow, with all the REAL material that people can draw on to post to this site, why waste everyone’s time with Photoshopped fakes?

  41. Anonymous says:

    not only real things are funny you know…

  42. Halo says:

    Dude. Its Master Chief!

  43. leo says:

    what is failure here anyway?

    the rock?
    the house?
    the road?
    the sign under the rock?

    i don’t get it.

  44. That’s hillarious! Hope none of my jobs look like that.

  45. Cellie says:

    HOLY FREAWKING CROW

  46. deliciousHam says:

    It looks like a head that may eat the next unfortunate passerby

  47. Captain Fire says:

    Nom, nom, nom, nom…

  48. psycore says:

    it really looks like a skull… a damn smiling skull.. like those on the toxic signs

  49. cemric says:

    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

  50. Twiggy says:

    I like that there are two little twigs in the gap propping it up.

  51. qwert says:

    Even a blindman will see the photoshop clone stamp marks

  52. mustang says:

    photoshop for certain and physically impossible besides.

  53. I can't think of a clever enough name, so I guess I'm just going to keep babbling until I run out of room. BABBLE BABBLE BABBLE STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good God, It never ends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111!!!1shiftone!11111!11onehundredande says:

    Hmm.

  54. sam says:

    OMG IT’S GONNA EAT DA HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  55. Failbot says:

    its about time you stopped posting fail pics

  56. hahah the fact that it looks like a face makes it even better!

  57. colBoh says:

    Is that Chinese writing?
    …not surprised.

  58. lslfldls says:

    physicics fail. well I suppose it would if it were a screenshot from redfaction: Gurilla. (and yes i know i am a spelling fail)

  59. Laura says:

    Anyone ever play that game Lemmings?

  60. LuckyChris says:

    Seriously?!

  61. Elf says:

    LOL
    I think this was used by ArenaNet as a picture for the title screen of Kourna in Guild Wars… I know I fail, thank you

  62. cyborg pirate ninja jesus says:

    lets carve a gaping hole at the bottom of the cliff… nothing bad could happen
