Flickr homepage

[Annie Charalambous]

I went to Flickr to look around a bit and because I wasn't logged in on this computer, it took me straight to homepage (as opposed to my own, as it's usually signed in) and when I saw the day's photo, I thought, "hmm, interesting choice..." and clicked to see it better...

Has sparked quite an interesting response. Poor fella :/

The comments thread is hilarious.

[Craig Tull]

You mean you clicked on it to see his nipple better, right?! Shame on you :P

[Lacey Gautreau]

HAHA! too funny. i'm actually most amused by this comment: "stronge and free sole". hahahaha, what?

[Jessica]

LOL!
I'm especially amused by the generic copy-and-paste "Please add your fabtastic photo to our group" messages!

[Craig Tull]

I especially like L A M B D A Y 's attempt to recreate it and share some of the attention http://www.flickr.com/photos/lambday4/717341853/

[Lacey Gautreau]

@craigdtull yeah, i totally wondered if that dude's for real or joking!

[Craig Tull]

@laceyjogautreau i think he's serious. His eyes say he is lonely :') Poor lad.

[hellcat]

lol... I don't think he'll ever be dateless again! :) He's a cutie.

@craigdtull - hahahaha, brilliant.

Yeah, that guy is all set.

[Jill Montes]

That is hilarious. I've always wondered how photos get chosen for flickr. Probably some sort of the same thing we have going here.

[Isis Weiss]

Just goes to show you should always be careful what you post on the internet 'cause it might just show up in an unexpected way....very funny thread!

[Kathy A]

@indiannie_jones - great thread, hilarious!

[Jordan Anderson (icywarm)]

If flickr wanted to show what you could upload... you need a generic photo of this type... this is a fine for that... but shows the danger of flickr... they can use your photos!

[Annie Charalambous]

@craigdtull You know me so well :3

Then & now: http://www.flickr.com/photos/chapter3/4366956480/

[Ayesha Ferdouse]

That photo received 692 comments - most bickering about how it doesn't deserve to be on the home page. But, I guess, Flickr has a good reason to have chosen this picture? I don't know.

[Craig Tull]

Sex sells. That guy is sex on legs *clears throat*

[Annie Charalambous]

@craigdtull I see you've also been reading all the comments :)

[Craig Tull]

@indiannie_jones i do like to read. The bigger the pictures, the better the book.

[Annie Charalambous]

@craigdtull Yaaay, pikshurrs :D

But seriously, this made me laugh:
"Sorry it's a decent shot however this photo has me asking myself why I signed up for flickr? I'm afraid your photo has taken on myspace like following. For that very same reason, I'm sick of seeing it on the sign on screen. I'll be deleting my account soon."

And he has since deleted :')

[Craig Tull]

@indiannie_jones yeah, i bet that guy went running back to myspace to perfect his mirror self portrait technique. Could this be him...? http://www.lolcaption.com/funny-failure-pictures/self-portrait-epic-fail/
