I seriously cannot stop laughing at this.. it's hilarious. At the same time, every time I lookat #3, I feel like hurling myself off a cliff.

I could get deep about how the industrialization of the world is killing nature. Or how modern civilization corrupts innocent lives. Or how in this fast world, you're forced to grow up quickly or else get.. swallowed up... by... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I giggled...






loudly and uncontrollably.

Poor cute little duckies ... :(

A tiny part of me laughed... Most of me felt so bad though :(

This is a job for duckling search and rescue.

any chance that they'll live?

Not to be a party pooper...but looks really photochopped...still very funny either way!

I doubt they fell in. I mean they can step over the holes.

huh? I've got experience with photomanipulation under my belt.. and none of that looks worked up.

Re: Ever feel like laughing and killing yourself at the same time?
 

HAHAHAH... a storm drain!!! AAAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH

plop plop..plop......plopplop!

Think of all the decomposing bodies of baby animals floating around in the sewers. Makes me laugh every time.

I'll bet the duckling in the third picture is the last one to cross and that the others are safely out of the sight of the camera.

Part of me wanted to laugh. Part of me felt bad. I was torn in two doing both at once.

Welcome to my World.


Laugh, jerk off, cut wrist, bleed, jerk off, laugh, pass out.

LOL those pics are funny

Pic #2:
the little duck under the mommy looks a bit odd.

that would be because it's fuzzy

*sigh* Why do people insist *everything* is photoshopped these days. :rolleyes: (And, no, the correct answer is not that everything is)

Anyways, yeah, I hate to admit it but I chuckled...then I realized I was going to Hell for laughing at the poor ducks :( :p

Hah! those duckies will be fine..... : / If the rats dont get em.

Laugh all you want guys, without feeling guilty. It's DEFINITELY chopped. First off, note the car in pics 2 and 3. It's moved. That means the engine is running. How many ducks do you know that will keep calmly walking near a running car that's moving? They ALWAYS walk away from the car.

Second, look at the adult's feet in pic2. They did a nice job, but you can see that the feet don't belong there. That telltale blurring around the toes when everything else is sharp gives it away.

they'd be a tasty treat for the crocodiles...

The shine on the exhaust pipe in #3 looks a bit off to me as well. There's 6 chicks in the first photo, and 5 in the second. The mother isn't that far ahead that a chick could have fallen down already, I think.

Still, it's horrible but funny at the same time.

I disagree about the car moving. The second picture is lower and more to the right than the first picture. Since it's lower, you don't see the bumper. Since it's farther to the right, the exhaust is in the frame. The exhaust on my pickup truck doesn't come off the back, it comes off the right side, about 2 feet forward of the bumper.

Definitely faked...where's the duck in the super-shiny bumper? Why does the bumper turn into an exhaust pipe? Just look at the baby ducks. They don't match the environment.

The bumper is reflecting the left side of the grate, the duck is on the right. The right side of the grate is past the bumper, and wouldn't be reflected.

I already explained the bumper/exhaust question. (see reply above)

I guess I'm likely to believe this because I've fished ducklings out of a sewer grate before.

Evolution/development is harsh but sometimes funny. It's a bit funny and a bit sad.

I must admit i chuckled while feeling sorry for the ducklings, the mother looks so suprised.. It is pretty sad.

I laughed hard..... and then I felt like crying.

I hope its photoshopped.

Never heard of fishing from a sewer grate, but to each his own.:lol:


I am on the fence about this one. Totally hilarious, but looks a wee bit doctored up. Funny as all hell though.

You guys keep fooling yourselves into thinking it's photoshopped to make you feel better about it.. fine. I understand. Sometimes it's just too difficult to rationally grasp.

I think the duckies are too big to fit through those grates. Unless they wiggled a bit. I think it's fake. And yes Halx, thinking it's photoshopped makes me feel better.

These particular photographs may or may not be altered, but I remember reading an article (probably on fark) a few weeks ago about some ducklings falling into a storm drain. I believe they were rescued.

Do a google on ducklings storm grate.

It happens all the time.

For some reason I don't feel bad.
Maybe I should feel bad about that.

Not the same ducks, but feels better to know some of them get saved...

The other foto's and story

Ducks and geese walk with no regard to cars all the time-ever drive through a park full of them? I do and they look at the cars like we've ransacked their home, but they keep walking. Blurring happens when things move, like duck feet or the cameraman.
I tried to find it in Snopes, but no luck there-however, there have been some duck-from-the sewergrate pictures posted elsewhere, so in all probability this is pretty accurate. Like Hal, I knows my Photoshop and that isn't a paste-up;-the shadows can't be that well blended into the pavement no matter how hard one tries-paste-ups are very hard to do when done well and there would still be errors-those things you've pointed out are not errors.(To be sure, though, magnify the picture by hitting control + about 6 or seven times and look for obvious outlines.)
It's the mother duck looking back, like WTF? that made me giggle.

So, if the ducklings fell in, did anyone try to save them?

Here is a story about ducklings on the freeway!!!

Imagine that each little duckling is a typical dream of mine. (Get married; Have children; be successful) Then passing over the grate is like the last 15 years of my life.

Welcome to my world Mrs. Duck.

Alright.. that made me laugh more than the pictures.. sorry.

i hunt so the duck/dying really does not matter to, nor to I think that every image i see is photoshopped but I think this one is, the ducks are just to perfectly positioned. still sad to see.

That's interesting. All the ducks and geese I've come across tend to get out of the way when anything larger than themselves approaches.

Well camera movement would have blurred the whole picture. And the feet aren't totally blurred, just the edges around the bottom - so unless the ducks somehow can move only the bottom of their feet while the rest of the foot stays still. . .that doesn't explain this photo.
