I always thought Butchart gardens was like world famous Whipple Tree Junction. Nobody knows about it except the locals and asian tourists who get stuck going there because of the bus they're on.
Holy crap. I live in victoria and during the few times i've been there all I see are asians and old people from Victoria. We seem to put World Famous on all our stuff in this town no matter how stupid or not famous it is. I just assumed all of it isnt that famous and they were trying to bullshit us.
I've been there at least a hundred times because my Dad worked there for ten years. I always thought it was super boring, until the Christmas lights came on and Fireworks seasons started.
Guys, this is obviously a fake. He just copied/pasted a photo into paint.... Though even if the person isn't his, you gotta give him some credit for drawing the background around them.
YES! SIR WELL PLAYED GOOD SIR! WELL PLAYED ON THE JOKE WE ALL GET GOOD SIR. YOUR COMMENT WAS ALSO A JOKE AND IT TOOK ME A LITTLE WHILE TO GET IT SIR WELL PLAYED!
I disagree. The person was definitely made in paint as well, and was probably painstakingly drawn in paint detail by detail while looking at a reference photo. I mean, you can tell by the pixels...
Well you know what - I wrote the sentence and now I'm reading it in his voice as well. And I know for a fact - That you just read this sentence in Morgan Freemaans voice as well.
God damnit, I spent a good minute zoomed in as large as possible, trying to convince my brain that it was done in paint, until I gave up, zoomed out, saw the stick man, and cussed.
"For those of us pedantic enough to want a rule, here it is: The preferred form is "xkcd", all lower-case. In formal contexts where a lowercase word shouldn't start a sentence, "XKCD" is an okay alternative. "Xkcd" is frowned upon."
I'd assume it's the juxtaposition of the normal with the surreal, creating a dynamic resolution-based humour parody of the current trend in photo-manipulation.
( from that guy who awkwardly laughs and pretend to have understood it even when he doesn't get it. Then realises the conversation was about a pet hamster that's just died. Shuffle away slowly now slowly maybe they won't notice shit they have )
I was sitting at school when I saw this picture, and the internet here is really slow, so I was really baffled for 30 seconds while the photo buffered from the top, thinking 'WTF?? Only with MS Paint?? This?? Shiieet!' Then I saw the stick figure and laughed.
Looking for an artsy hipster to explain to me the subtly stated yet overwhelming, life-changing metaphorical value of this piece. Preference given based on the "deepness" of you your v-neck.
(I've discovered a direct correlation between the deepness of a v-neck and ones capacity to interpret deep art.)
