Fire Dousing Baby Doll: WTFoto Stock Photo Challenge Winner (Plus Favorites)

For any of you not in the loop, last week marked our first ever WTFoto Challenge. The goal was to find the craziest, most absurd stock photo on the web we've never seen before. There were a lot of WTF images submitted to our community corkboard, and now it's time to announce the results of the stock image showdown. Who will win the the honor of Watermark of Weirdness? Drumroll please, imaginary band leader named Tim Drickles...

And the winner is... "Baby Doll" by D Harrison Faux, who certainly didn't throw the baby out with the badly charred building! Congratulations on being our inaugural winner, DHF!

Despite Faux's win, it would be a faux pas (see what I did there?) not to include some of the other awesome entries we received.

Anatomy-obsessed Bryan tackled yet another part of the human body in "Cheerful Heart Eater".

Faux also posted this "Kid with 6 Arms" stunner. Quite the mutitasker Harri, just not as much as this kid.

Ruben S. gave us a snail trail with "What the Actual F" that we won't soon forget, try as we might.

toastykitten gave us this little gem—"Money Cat". Look at this feline. He will eat your children (if you are a fish).

In "Tiger Eating a Zebra (SFW... Sort Of)", Kendra W showed us that tigers prefer the white meat.

Maria Villalta Quiros gave us "Trippy Trance"—a guy eating salad that surely must feature watercress.

Finally, gaveat 123 submitted "WTF to the Max"—a photo of questionable stockness. What it lacks there, it makes up for in WTF factor. So, it gets an honorable mention.
