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!

hey, my first first!

EVER.

yaaay.

Anomnomnomymous

Congratulations. Judging by how happy this makes you, it’s a safe bet to assume this will be the high point of your life.

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

Anonymous

no it isn’t, you FAILED to be convincing

Dark

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.

Leg End

Dark… ITs not just that its photoshopped… its shit.
Real fails are far funnier than ones that are OBVIOUSLY fake.

 
 
 
 
Leg End

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

Riceinator

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

Knowledge Fail + Geology Fail!

Failurator

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!

Anonymous

Actually, rock can cripple in a way that the rock is shifted 90 degrees. Therefore, vertical bands of rock.

Failurator

It’s

fucking

photoshop.

I work with it 80+ hours a week, I think I’d recognize the god damn clone stamp tool.

 
fox

80 hours…I think I’d recognise…FAIL!

……. 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.”

 
 
 
dragonkitteh_leelee

geology is enjoyable to study.

 
Manni

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

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

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

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

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.

Keelhaul

Hee Hee Heee Heee! Under the the poopoo……hee hee.

 
 
 
 
Igor Santos

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

 
 
 
 
 
Hawk

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

Khaaaaaaan

In Soviet Russia, rock photoshops you!

 
 
 
 
sweter

very badly photoshopped, but it was crazy anyhow.

 
dragonkitteh_leelee

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

 
 
brandy

so you’ve never seen the clone stamp tool before? This looks like a damn 3-d magic eye picture.

 
Fernando Colaco

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?

 
Jessicat

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.

 
Niho654

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.

 
no-name

6 sarcasm recognition failures in a row. AWESOME!

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

dragonkitteh_leelee

I agree.

Anonymous

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.

 
 
Harry Roberts

Let’s hope they get a better ‘Photoshopper’ to add that feature.

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

FAIL at identifying obvious Photoshop work before posting! :D

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!

Seth

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.

 
 
 
Gbobman

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

 
Anonymous

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.

 
Keelhaul

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

 
 
Douche

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

 
Coreburn

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:

and you can try a demo of something similar here:

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

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

:-)

 
 
Joe

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

 
Anonymous

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

 
Anonymous

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

Homer

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.

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