What a powerful image. I think I have the idea for tattoo #3.
Amazing she wasn't more squished.
Ya I was just thinking, awfully not messy for a jump off the Empire State Building. I'm thinking it's staged.
Obviously photoshopped.
Warhol's print:
If it helps, there's probably a pool of blood, fluids and spine dripping onto the passenger's seat as that photo was taken?Quote:

It's an old photo. Warhol did a print, as Gooch pointed out. Probably legit.Quote:

Stunning photograph, I hadn't seen it before. Thanks for posting this.
old. and fake.
It's definitely legit. It's a pretty famous photo.

Its totally not a fake, but I've wanted to use that image again for a while now.
what a great photo.
attention whore imo.
I can imagine how the driver of that car felt.
"I went in for some coffee and FUCK!!"
i first saw that photo blown up on a projector in social studies class in 8th grade. hadn't seen it since till now.
damn, never knew she was hot. what a waste
It doesn't matter whether or not it's fake! It matters whether or not it's funny!Quote:

Warhol means nothing. In fact, Warhol was a troll of the art world, that was what he was about.Quote:

The best of my memory this was a performance art stunt using an actress and a staged car that was swapped while the people on the street weren't paying attention.
You have to be bullshitting all of us. I'm embarrassed to admit I googled the photo and I see nothing that would indicate it's a fake. There is surprisingly little on this photo at all. All I know is that it was also in Time Magazine, May 12, 1947.
EDIT - Turns out I've been owned. I'm such a mook.
Doc's a mean asshole.
BTW, Doc, check out DUG if you're interested in an easier short.
I don't care if it's fake. It's awesome. Does it matter whether it's true or not?
I didn't get owned because it's fake, monkey ass.
Damn, I can't rep you again.Quote:

Wow. That one is even faker than the original.
ya think? I was leaning towards REAL on that one... although I have seen some where the body is distorted but not completely destroyed. Maybe that is the beauty of suicide... all attempts bear various outcomes.Quote:

video or it didn't happen.
It would have to be streaming video wouldn't it? I mean he's not likely to upload his video to youtube after he's dead...
Dave now regrets the decision to kill himself in front of his mother's old Hi-8 video recorder instead of a webcam. Respect lost.

lol jesus.
what was so special about that chat room? I would think a "moral boosting" chat room would be special, that shit was ordinary.
