REUTERS RODDED

Iowahawk: “Israeli Airstrike Leaves Reuters Ambulance in Flames, Chopped, Channeled.”

That’s via Chuck. And from reader Neil, who is referencing something no worksafe surfer has ever seen, this Reuterse image:

UPDATE. RebeccaH:

Green Helmet Guy looks like he’s about the steal the hubcaps. Which would be typical.

  1. What is this, BoingBoing?!?

  2. I think that picture is referencng some pic/site called “goatse” (or something spelt similar).  The image was a favourite among hackers who would deface sites and replace every jpeg with it, a few years back.

  4. Need to get Iowahawk down to Sevier County, Tennessee, there is a rod here that looks just as the one above does, save all the extraneous IslamaRedCrossGreenHelmetCryMeAFuckinRiverBullshit.

    ONLY big difference, Iowahawks pic, is a Buick, the one here, is an Olds, flames, chopped and channeled.

    Yeah, and if you haven’t seen it, DO NOT LOOK FOR IT.

  7. Along with Guernica and Iwo Jima, this will rank in perpetuity and one of the great and haunting images of war.

    Seriously, guys, this is one of those cases where you’re really, truly, honestly better off not having seen it.

  9. This week’s print edition of TIME has a “wailing woman in burqa on rubble” shot too. It’s too small an image of her, especially her face in a wide angle shot, to see if it’s the scarred, unlucky homeowner but it’s obviously a posed or staged photo even if it is of a different woman. I couldn’t find the pic on the TIME web site, but there is one of a doll on top of a damaged building from Katrina at the site, but no waiting wedding dresses on dress stands.

    It’s like staring into the eye of a hurricane.

    Y’know…if the eye of a storm were actually a rectum.

  15. And yet, being the responsible worksurfer that I am, the Reuterse image made me guffaw snorkily.  I’m certain the same mirth will not be achieved seeing the pictures in reverse order.  Ha!  Thank you, Neil and Tim.

    FOREIGN Minister Alexander Downer is standing firm on his comments yesterday slamming the media over its coverage of the Lebanon conflict.

  18. If you really need to know about goatse, the Wikipedia article explains it without actually burning your eyes out.

  19. Oh, this is clearly a fake: there’s no flaming Koran! Everybody knows that Israeli missiles have Koran-tracking capabilities.

  20. Tony Eastley (he’s the one with the squeaky voice who always sounds like he would benefit from either having his adenoids removed or his testicles re-attached), interviewing Alexander Downer on ABC AM this morning,offered the official lefty-luvvee explanation for the small amount of damage to the ambulance.The missile,according to this particular fool,simply didn’t explode.It seems it had just enough grunt to cut a neat symetrical hole in the roof of the vehicle but then totally exhausted by that exertion could only manage to lay limply on the floor.Unfortunately he didn’t bother to explain why the Lebanese Red Cross representative who revealed this war-crime to the MSM didn’t bother to show them this remarkable non-exploding missile.

  21. Okay, thanks, the Wiki entry satisfied my curiosity. More than satisfied. I won’t be goin’ no further down that track.

    Your comment and this post are giving me a flashback to this image  and this former Time Magazine cover.

    Evil Pundit in #18 may have saved your eyes and your soul.  But beyond that, I absolve myself of all responsibility.

  25. I used to haunt rotten.com years ago, but even I’ve managed to avoid goatse.

    I used to suffer from boundless curiosity until I read about that one. I now suffer from almost boundless curiosity.

    Love GreenHelmetGuy doing the carjacking, too.

    Yeah I heard it. I wanted to give Tony the clue-X-4, upside the head.

  31. Read Wiki.
    He what?
    Hm, maybe someone lost their carkeys…

    nevermind

    It’s a bit revolting that it was used so much in the MSM, I mean, when you know what it’s all about.

    Posted by kae on 2006 08 30 at 04:10 AM • permalink

  32. Ok, I was wrong.  For some reason I thought the reference might had been to a woman on a porn site who was showing us her wares.  Now that I read a portion of the Wiki article, I now want to erase that image from my mind.

  33. LMAO. That ambulance pic is the best photoshop I’ve seen of late, and that includes regular surfing of fark.com’s photoshop gems. Laugh out loud funny! :-D

    BTW, you guys are really showing your age if you haven’t heard of goatse! ;-)

  34. 33, Mr. Snuffalupagus,

    BTW, you guys are really showing your age if you haven’t heard of goatse! ;-)

    I’m very happy to be too old to have known anything about goatse, thank you very much.  I could have died happy without ever having known about it.

  36. I’m not normally a fan of Wikipedia, but I gotta admit that article explained everything just perfectly.

    Particularly amusing was the section “Parodies, tributes, and trivia”.  I had no idea that goatse had been referenced in so many places, t-shirts, video-games, music lyrics, etc.

    For some of the, er, more youthful readers may find the following two images from that Wiki article amusing:

    This is the “Temple of Goatse” from a mod to Quake 2.  (Note: they even included the ring on the left hand!)

    And this is a suspicously remeniscent scene from “Unreal Tournament 2004”.

    (Don’t worry their stills from video games, not the actual explicit goatse itself.)

  38. Thanks for the reminder, Some0Seppo. NOT.  I fell for that one as well.  ‘Tis the downside of a good memory.  Sometimes, I wish that there was an SELECTIVE ERASE button on my skull.
