This pic has a load of potential. Added color would have helped your score I think... it could have been as easy as throwing in a few kernels of corn. Holes in the underwear would have helped to tell a story too. Think it thru!

219 ones, man, you are a force to be reckoned with. Albeit a somewhat incontinent force... Congrats on getting on the page one of the Lowest Rated Photographs section, that's a hard page to get onto! Can't honestly say I like the image, but you had every right to make it and enter it - possibly the subject hit too close to home for a lot of people, it's tough to avoid having at least a momentary negative reaction to the sight of it. That and the fact that your shot probably followed a hot chick in a bra in the queue so many times - imagine how deflating it is to see this right afterwards, eh? :)

And you don't know how relieved I am to know that's chocolate...

Sorry buddy, you still have no sense of humor. And please stop saying I have no class or telling me to grow up when you don't even know me, ok? You only saw a humorous (not for many puritans, evidently) photograph I posted, that's "all" you know about me...

Anyway, enough with this. I'm here to amuse myself, not to argue with people. Any comment is welcome, even bad comments, but please refrain from being offensive. Thanks.

Originally posted by dcanossa: People, people... I like Connie's comment "I was immediately disgusted and laughing at the same time". I think that summarizes what this picture was meant for. It caused impact, good and/or bad, but it did, and that is art, whether you like it or not. If this is funny for an 8yo kid, but not funny for an adult, it's because unfortunately too many adults grow up to be too susceptible and get horrified by minor natural things. If an 8yo kid laughs at this, it means there is nothing wrong with it. This is something completely natural that could happen to anyone, and no one would scream in horror. Wars are not natural, and if war pictures teach, I think people are not learning the lesson. I see 219+ horrified voters, but I wonder if those same voters are also horrified when they vote for a pro-war presidents, for instance. I'm not saying this is a pleasant image, I know it's rather shocking, but creative. You go through other pictures in this challenge and most of them are all the same: young female models wearing sexy underwear. The challenge was clear when it said to capture a picture in a creative photograph. I find zero creativity in many photographs here, however, they are pleasant to the eyes. I also see how some men posing in their photographs were freely insulted and disrespected by other peers, just because they were not young "in shape" girls. That's the kind of society we live in, and that horrifies me MUCH more than poop, be it real or fake poop! So, then again, I think my photograph was rated by its unpleasant impact (since I can see that most people don't have any sense of humor), and not by its creativity, or by its technicality (which wasn't too good, anyway). Yes, this is a public forum and I don't think I broke any rules. Once again, I challenge people to report this picture and let the moderators decide. Some of you telling me to grow up need to grow up yourself and realize this is nature. And, talking about growing up, you will find yourself in this situation more and more as you get older... I hope you don't get this horrified everytime it happens to you FOR REAL, or you may end up killing yourself... People, people... I thought there would be more open minded people in a site like this. In the meantime, please keep making comments. Some scare me, but most of them make me laugh! Awwww isn't it good to laugh...!? (some of you may not know, unfortunately)

You have just took the word from my mouth...:)))

Now, if the stain was in the shape of a brown ribbon.... 'that' would have been comedy!

To those that say this is not art. Your wrong, this picture tells a story, that of a youngish man who thought he had it all, he was carefree and careless, he farted and followed through and now he paying the price. He studies the consequences of being over confident and ponders the meaning of it all and finally he wonders has he got a clean pair or should he just scrape the worst off and put them back on.

If art is creating something that has no purpose other than to provoke a reaction then this picture has it in bucket loads. Much more so than half the crap pictures seen on here including my own.
