Aww, man, my grandmother took all these pictures, and she drags 'em out every time I visit her.

Actually, though, there were some I'd never seen before.

And here I thought this was going to be about yet another politician's late-night trysts.

thanks cosmic osmo - really interesting photos. The one of the kid puking took me a couple of takes. At first it kind of blended in with the background.

While it's an interesting collection of photos indeed, I bemoan the proliferation of these sites that steal photos from all over the web for topical compilations that don't include any credits, sources, or context. No offense, cosmic osmo, some of the photos are indeed great, but I don't think we should be giving these types of sites any traction.

I roughly estimate 25% photoshopped. Otherwise, some good ones in there.

Once I hit the first shopped picture, I lost interest in continuing. Word out to all you bloggers hosting interesting stolen pic galleries.

I agree with magamjujujive. I've seen many of these pictures around, and while they are funny they're never credited and many of them are photoshopped (the shark one, for instance, has a snopes page.)
