I did not know what forum to put this in - I cannot see through the tears in my eyes....

well excuse me - it's the first time i've seen it. i did a search and did not see anything here. i hope i am forgiven by the dvd talk elite.

Welcome to the Internet. Now: available on computers.

well, your thread and intentions are appreciated, but don't blame us when it's sort of the biggest thing and created news about lawsuits between the star wars kid's parents and trying to figure out who to sue..

not to mention a quick google search for Star wars kids leads a huge fan base. it's the sort of big net stuff.

Jesus - would you look at that guy! That's a plane! Heading right for the building he's on! Where did this picture come from?!? Someone should see this!

You are forgiven. I am glad you posted it as I had not seen the second one (remix #2). God, that is good stuff. I was crying.

The Clones one is quite brilliant. If you havent had the chance to see it, I suggest you do.

Edited to add: I never saw that second remix. Some really talented people out there.

Yeah, thanks; it gave me a chance to show the vid to my wife with a minimum of searching. It was worth it to watch her jump back and forth between pity and ridicule as the video went on and on...

Thats not funny. I saw this picture on the net about 2 weeks after 9/11. Even if the person added the plane in there to fool people, its still not funny.

No, what's funny is that it got passed around 10 million times by people who just accept anything that crosses their Inbox as gospel.

I think it's kind of a neat pic even if it is fake. But how would the film get developed anyways. The camera or the film wouldnt last the fall and it'd burn otherwise. Anyway, when I saw it, kinda made me think about how sudden it all was.

You TOTALLY missed the point!

This thread is bringing up old internet legends, and this Tourist Guy pic is definitely an internet legend based on the worldwide photoshopping craze this pic started

Yes, he's been identified.

HA HA HA, two internet legends united!

Thanks, D G D...that was the first time I saw that. Of course, the original wasn't that great, but the "remixes" were absolutely priceless. Thanks again.

last time I checked, there were 92 versions. Most of them suck.

Hey D G D don't take it personally. We just like to mess with people around here.

I'm really not sure how this fits into this thread, but Oh My God! I used to have one of those shirts! I'd forgotten that they ever existed. It was a great concept in theory, but the armpits of the shirt were the only things that changed color, and that's just weird.
