Remember the talented artist who brought you this delightful little number?

Well, he's decided to go ahead and "construct" a monument of faith, and boy, is it ever a doozy!

The realism virtually jumps off the screen, doesn't it? Somehow, methinks this will be judged somewhat less than adequate.

UPDATE: New pictures, even more atrocious than the first two! These ones are, allegedly, from multiple angles to demonstrate the three-dimensionality of the monument. See my post below.

Holy. Shit. Shocked

Do we have a Hall of Shame for the Hall of Shame?

He can't seriously think that would fool anyone can he? Even someone who has horrid eye sight would be able to tell that isn't real.

Teflon Billy, was your instinctive reponse, "Fireballs on line"? Because that's just terrible.

So as not to deter him from further shoddy efforts - I'd say tell him that the picture has to show the pyramid from an angle so as to show it's a complete structure. Let's then see what he does to achieve that. Very Happy

Slap him with a closed fist. Evil or Very Mad

Do not worry about calling him on a fake like we do with IDs. No one else but you will ever get these photos. You might ask him what those photos are for, because they are clearly not of a real pyramid.

YeaWhatever speaks truly - but on the other hand, we want the Lad to think that his leet photochop skills are truly awesome, don't we?

They are right

I can´t help it, I´m still laughing about this wizard. It´s the definition of great HOS stuff Thumbs up

Somehow I expect the Monty Python foot trampling him down any second! Plus the Liberty Bell March.

EDIT TO ADD Haha, they make a great desktop background - I was just asked the 3rd tiome what the hell was that! Haha - it´s bound to make people ASK Very Happy

Well you could be initially very convinced by the photos, claim they are the best pyramid that anyone has ever constructed, and ask for a dozen new photos of it from various angles.

After several more hours of lame photoshop work on the lad's part, you could suddenly realize how crappy they are.

Listen, I think everyone is being too hard on this lad. These photos are a step up from using a green marker to doctor photos. Laughing

If someone put that picture on a tee shirt, I'd buy it! Laughing

Slap him!! Horrible pics! No TWAT should ever be allowed to submit such fakes.
The are the worst fakes I've seen since Dickboi's "torture pics." Evil or Very Mad

Well the (non) pyramid is just awful but this lad is definitely a TWAT!

He's a RICH lad I tell you. He's got two suits! Laughing

Update: I demanded more photos from different angles (which he should have provided in the first place, since that was part of the initial instructions). Check out this twat's photoshop skillz in action:

Who does this guy think he's fooling?

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Excellent baiting, TBR Very Happy

Posted: Wed Dec 02, 2009 6:38 pm

Amazing!

That must've cost him quite some time... And to imagine he probably has to redo it with real sandbags.. Razz

I agree with Jammy, sudden realisation that you had initially been taken sounds fun Twisted Evil

Great baiting so far! I shudder to think of the TWATS who gave their lives in the construction of this imposing edifice.

re: slappage. You can have it both ways by saying an architect or engineer friend was admiring the construction. Only after close examination did his keen eye detect the subtle mistakes that give this away as a forgery. Make up something like "the radiosity on the anti-aliased pixels in the midtone areas is slightly off."

His consulting fee could even be deducted from the TWAT money Evil or Very Mad

hahaha... those pictures are classic! Hall of shame material for sure. I think that TWAT may be my one of my favorite baits of all time.

As most of you know, if Teflon Billy Reincarnated is following the basic TWAT script, the lad has to provide a video of him leaping off of the pyramid backwards (leap of faith). I can hardly wait to hear the excuses the lad will conjure up once he is asked for his video. Laughing

Teflon Billy - you bring great honour to Clan Ironheart by securing these trophies. How many honour points should BA award you, I wonder?

Posted: Wed Dec 02, 2009 9:39 pm

You only need to thank him for the artists impressions and tell him that you can't wait for the real thing. Considering the effort he's put into the planning the real thing will be lad-tacular!
