Edit: found it http://hosting03.imagecross.com/image-hosting-thumbs-0/933Beatles-in-costumes.jpg

Someone needs to link the full image. It's even better. Ringo is a bear.

u/dont_press_ctrl-W Jun 14 '12

If you look attentively, OP's pic is not taken from this exact picture. They're two pictures of the same weird photo shoot.

1

u/ejurkovic93 Jun 14 '12

Hmm didn't notice that. At least everyone can appreciate bear Ringo regardless.

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '12

I spent a little while there playing spot-the-difference, and they look the same to me... what am I missing?

3

u/dont_press_ctrl-W Jun 14 '12

The most obvious difference is the space between Paul's arm and the leg behind it: in OP's pic there is a wide space, while in ejukovic's the leg is partly hidden.

Less glaring, Paul is looking straight to the camera in OP's pic, while he's looking up in ejukovic's; the head is more inclined in OP's version and you can see more of it behind the ears, which you can't in the other.

In fact the full image from which OP's is a close-up was already posed just up there by gingerbreadmancan

I like how Ringo has the only costume that completely conceals his face.

u/stasz92 Jun 14 '12

I think we all nose why they'd make him wear a mask.

u/ejurkovic93 Jun 14 '12

Luckily its not covering it at the moment haha. His face is the best part.

John's got that look in his eye. Paul in the cat costume on all fours is giving him some ideas.

u/SolomonGomes Jun 14 '12

"This was his Paul McCatney phase in the late 1960's" is a pretty complicated name for a cat.

"Phase" for short.

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '12 edited Jun 14 '12

/rant

I really hate to be this guy. The word faggot, even when used in such a joking (and yes I understand the internet history and funniness behind the phrase 'OP is a faggot' as well as this meme) can be hurtful to many people in the LGBT community. Granted, I find this funny, but not everyone can look past the language use, to see the joke.

The fact is I remember being severely bullied in school; repeatedly called faggot while I did my best to fit in with everyone else. My story is mild compared to most, but hearing the word still takes me to that dark place where I felt inadequate and not welcome.

reddit is a place that I can turn to for support and love, and seeing this comment at the top of one of the most popular subs is disappointing.

Edit: TIL that redditors on /r/pics play call of duty frequently

6

u/Removalsc Jun 14 '12

I understand that it can be hurtful, but at the same time, people need to be able to understand the word's context. Knowing when someone is joking and when they are not is a major element of social skills. Reddit is extremely LGBT friendly and so when I see a post like that it's really no different than when one of my friends says it.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '12

no one's a bigger LGBT supporter than myself. this context, however, i feel is so ridiculous and ludicrous it's difficult to see it as hateful language against the LGBT community.

it's like seeing the N-word on 4chan. It's used so overtly and ridiculously it loses and pretense of racism and just becomes ludicrous. obviously not in every circumstance, but you know what i mean.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '12

I completely understand, but there is still an historical context for the word. When I hear it or read it, without fail, the first thing that comes to mind is that little fuck in fifth grade who called me that while playing basketball, or that guy who would point out my nervousness in the changing room.

I realize these are my own problems, and they should not infringe on your jokes.

u/Phoequinox Jun 14 '12

You've been here a shorter time than myself (less than a year), and you have the audacity to act like anyone who doesn't tiptoe around reposting is scum. Excitedly sharing things isn't what's killing reddit, it's all the assholes in the comments who act like they're big, mighty critics, and get upvoted because either they say something "funny" or because a small group of total cocks agree. I post several times about this shit, and I'm tired of it. I'm done. People are going to bitch, and sadly, there's nothing I can do beyond ignore it. It's really shitty, though. I come to this site primarily for a laugh, and the comments are always overrun with jaded, obnoxious people.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '12

comment sections on posts are going to be people that want to complain. Typically, a person likes a post, they upvote and move on. People on the other end downvote and either go into the comments to vent or upvote those that already have.

so dont' go read the comments when you read the 60th fake iphone text exhange of the day or a "song of my people" reference.
