News and Updates about WTFoto

Each year on Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday, Ashbourne becomes a war zone! The majority of the ablebodied men, women and children take to the streets to play what is probally the largets football game in the world! - The two teams number in the hundreds, and the palying field is 3 miles long, 2 miles wide and has the town of Ashbourne in the middle!

Howdy, hobos! Last week's WTFoto challenge meandered on much like its namesake, the vagrant. We had a couple good submissions that warmed my heart with laughter. I thought my examples were pretty on point, but my confidence is pretty low right now because I failed a recent IQ test. For your amusement, here are those awesome remixes of the Hobo Image Macro! Did they measure up?

For those of you behind on their international politics, Vladimir Putin has once again been elected as President of Russia. And right now, there are over 20,000 protesters in Moscow yelling about election fraud. Now, whether or not you think they're right, or whether or not you think Putin is a badass (he is, for the record), you have to admit he is an amazingly interesting cultural figure. And what do we do with amazing cultural figures? Why, we make fun of them with Impact-laden photos, of...

Hello, life forms and inanimate objects the world over. This week's competition is the Hobo Image Macro challenge, and we want to see more entries! Don't be intimidated by the hobo's dull, yet threatening stare—it's easy to do! Just to prove it, here are ten pieces of Hobo advice I prepared earlier in the kitchen (I live in a studio; it's all the same).

In many ways, we center a large portion of our lives around festivals. They provide us days off from work, allow us time to be content with our families and loved ones, and a give us a chance to eat as much as we want without Aunt Carol saying something about our necks (it's thyroidal, Carol). However, some festivals are determined to push the needle to crazy. Here, for your consideration, are those offenders.

Besides Wikipedia and teachers (in that order), textbooks are the go-to source of information during our school years. Today, we take a look at what happens when the people writing these voluminous tomes get attacked by a sudden bout of ennui.

Ivy League schools aren't just places for people to row and sip their drinks out of glasses normal people would never use (i.e. snifters). They also the place for trolling on a grand scale. Just take a look at these Trolls de la Resistance!

Can't say I'm big into fan art, so when this challenge got me to search the web for some recent fan art drawings, I was surprised to just how NSFW they were. I came across some weird Glee animal hybrids making love and some true Linsanity on the basketball court. But as this is a SFW competition, I'll just go with this...

The angry New Yorker stereotype sure doesn't miss anyone. A woman from New York is suing her former Catholic college for not doing 'enough' for her while her dorm roommate was having too much sex. We're not entirely sure if the college even handed out ties to hang on doorknobs, let alone provide each room with a humidifier that has 3-4 different soothing sound loops for stress relief and relaxation.

The deadline is counting down to enter the WTFoto Fan Art Challenge, so make sure you post your images to the community corkboard soon! And remember, we want the most twisted one you can find (sans nudity). You can start hunting for nutty fan art drawings over at deviantART and Fanart Central, to name a few. Entries are due Monday, March 5th at 11:59:59pm PST.

I was walking down the street one day and saw this sign. It was definitely news to me. What next? Fetus facials?

Ever wanted to look perpetually surprised/insane? This beautiful new mouth exercising product from the land of WTF itself—Japan—can make you look like a startled blowjob fish 24/7. Yay!

If only airline safety cards were more like this in real life, we would be much more tempted to read them. Then again, in the unlikely event of an emergency, we'd have to endure cries of "Won't someone please think of the children!?"

This mouse once bounded through fields or pet shop cages with aplomb. Now, it is a peripheral. Ah, how life changes. You can make your own mouse mouse at home, too—all you need is a mouse, a mouse, and a solid constitution.

Welcome to the second official WTFoto Challenge! Last week's WTF Stock Photo Challenge went great (see winner here), so I figured it's time for another image search, this time—Fan Art!

To decipher my password, you need to know my mother's maiden name, where I was born, and what I had for breakfast on August 12th, 1996 (trick question, I was in a food coma).

Does this even need a witty introduction?

There's an old joke about these furry fellows:

I was browsing shutterstock when I came across the literal image of a "fat cat".

The reaction that we describe so succinctly as WTF can be garnered from the outright ridiculous, but sometimes it's the simplest little things that make us stop and say, "seriously?!"

Who would need this? O.o

Welcome to the WTFoto Stock Photo Challenge, the first of many future WTFoto Challenges to come at you every Tuesday. Every week, there will be a different challenge, and sometimes you could even win a prize. But for today's go, let's just keep it fun...

This creepy-as-hell vintage jam ad is a WTF as it comes. It's not uncommon to find old ads that are somewhat off kilter. Think you can find a legit ad that's more unsettling than this one? I challenge thee!

Welcome to WTFoto, a community dedicated to scouring the internet for great WTF photos and encouraging you to do the same. Check out all of our upcoming weekly tutorials and competitions to learn how it's done and jump into the fray. Here's how we roll:
