Seen a few of those in the past. If the dog one was real, the person who threw the frisbee should be shot, after going to prison with Bubba and his lonely cross dressing friends. Most likely these are all perspective shots or done up on the computer.
 
Their all obvious fakes; the dirtbike one however did get a laugh. The dog picture, you can tell it's a fake; look at the rear-right leg... Someone needs a remedial cut-n-paste refresher course.

Same goes for the aircraft one. If it was indeed a fake; how did the picture survive from that altitude/impact?

Definately good pics tho; they all got a chuckle outta me.
 
Actually, the one withteh two kids buried in the sand with the wave coming probably is real, but looks worse than it is due to the angle and camera perspective. A lot of beaches have a short, steep downslope at the edge of the beach. The wave will break, but will hit and slow on the slope. The kids are actually at the top of the slope and you cannot see the slope where the wave and wash will land. It's too small for me to see it exactly, still could be doctored, too.
 
Alright, you conspiracy theorists! I know these aren't real (I know I'm a dink and all, but I'm not a COMPLETE idiot!)

I just thought they were funny!
 
The plane one is just scary. oh yeah on the speed channel yesterday they was a moto cross race and that did happen. the guys front wheel came off.
 
The ariplane looks cool but the reflection of the runway on the airplane kills it.
 
The dirtbike one happens every now-and-again at our track...some guy will come off a jump that goes into a turn really fast, hit the side of the curve, bounce back and loose his front wheel in the middle of it...it also doesn't help if a beginner works on the darn thing...I did chuckle at the wave one!
 
I am not for animal cruelty, but that horse one made me smile a little (and laugh)... Ex was into horses, and as-such, I can't stand the flea-baits.

I thought they did a decent job on the dog one... they even got the shadow of the dog at the right angle compaired to the people in the photo.

As for the aircraft one... duh... it's a camera linked to the black box...

Why don't they make the whole plane out of the stuff the little black box is made out of?

It could have been a passenger camera...? Anywho, yah, I agree about the dog picture; the overall job was great. Too bad they clipped a little off the leg. Otherwise, it would have been perfect. Well, except the people standing there. You'd think their reactions would be a little different.
 
heres one from a site i go to every now and then

Car:
2003 Ferrari Enzo
Description:
With only 353 miles on the odometer, this Enzo sustained approximately $400,000 in damages. Rumor suggests that this car was being driven by the owner's son. The owner apparently owns a huge RV manufacturing company or dealership. This is actually the 2nd Enzo to be wrecked. A yellow Enzo holds the honors as the first wreck (we're trying to get pictures of that one!)

Location:
Tampa, Florida

You know the "black box" is actually orange and for some reason has crap in French on it even though English is the universal language in aviation. 90% of the boxes up front are black though!:wasted:
 
dannyd, I actually talked to a guy into R/C on aol, who knows the kid who crashed that Enzo. It was driven by the owners son, not sure how old he was but not very lol. What a shame.

The one with the dog kinda sucked I thoguht. They did do a good job with the shadow, but the 'edge' of the cliff was what gave it away pretty quick for me.
