It is a commentary on how things are not how we perceive them in life.

Someone will be selling it on eBay in a couple hours framed, for whatever their bud bits can get it up to!

Edit: bud bits, auto correct? ...you know me too well

That's what happens when you don't laugh while taking a picture with Kim.

u/HungryShadow Aug 06 '14

He's imaging what Kim Jong-Un is going to do with all that lube.

u/[deleted] Aug 06 '14

I hope he doesn't see this. He'll threaten to nuke reddit or some other ridiculous shit.

u/zerophewl Aug 06 '14

BTW, somebody is already claiming they did this

u/trsilverman Aug 06 '14

made it to the front page of imgur....this was bound to happen

I kinda want this as an alter for the M:tG card Invisible Stalker now.

u/DeathToPennies Aug 06 '14

How do you do this? How do you change the color/texture of the lube to Un's skin without messing up the natural shine of the lube?

1

u/trsilverman Aug 06 '14

First I used the color balance tool on Un's arms to try and make it as close as possible to the lubes color (this is the only step i did on the FTFY post) then I found a selection of lube that I wanted and used the clone stamp tool at varying opacities to blend it with his skin

u/cheekylittleduck Aug 06 '14

This is the best thing I've seen in a while

u/EliQuince Aug 06 '14

The feel good buddy comedy of the summer, Kim Jung Un and Lube man

u/Judgment38 Aug 05 '14

You lack the experience and knowledge but you definitely possess the artistic talent.

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '14

you really. really. really. do. upvoted.

u/nenepegajoso Aug 05 '14

It was the only way to make that poor worker smile

u/Worst_Lurker Aug 05 '14

I lol'd. You did well.

u/figyg Aug 05 '14

I freaking love the idea. Can someone touch this up plz?

22

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '14

And ruin the amateurish charm? Here's another post. Not mine, though.

u/figyg Aug 05 '14

Awesome, thanks

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '14

you don't have to thank me for ruining it

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '14 edited Aug 05 '14

Sorry for the implication of "ruining" it. Yours is much better; I found it more amusing.

11

u/ScriptSarge Aug 05 '14

Still better than some of the Photoshop I see coming from North Korean Official Press Releases.

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '14

yes yes you do

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '14

Fantastic deduction, detective! your observations far surpass your username's claim.

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '14

some call me sherlock but you can call me karl

ps do you need a kidney?

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '14

No, two is enough. Make sure to call home, Karl Holmes.

u/smad4 Aug 05 '14

Kim Jung-Un is threatening war over a movie...I guess he doesn't reddit.

28

u/HopocalypseWow Aug 05 '14

I hate to sound like I could be taking North Korea's side against the marketing geniuses in Hollywood, but:

Media reports claiming the DPRK threatened war over a Seth Rogen and James Franco movie are flat out wrong.

u/smad4 Aug 05 '14

Now I feel like a jerk.

u/all_teh_sandwiches Aug 06 '14

THe fact that you believed it, though...

u/smad4 Aug 06 '14

But the internet never lies.

u/CaptainDarkstar42 Dec 23 '14

Well that didn't last :/

Twist: OP scores big with no Photoshop skills.

u/dhpii Aug 05 '14

Please upvote based on quality of work. Lazy shops shouldn't win just because they made you laugh.

8

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '14

While quality often correlates with popularity, its nearly impossible to enforce upvoting guidelines over personal preference. People will always react most positively to the things which make them feel the best, an sometimes bad quality helps.

I do agree with the rule, but people would rather see their favorite thing do well rather than what they consider the best.

u/TheBlazingPhoenix Aug 06 '14

seconded, your entry might not be the best compared to any other entries but the title and your amateurism help you this time. I'm sure that it will not work so well on second or third time though

1

u/[deleted] Aug 06 '14

Every shtick gets old, and "being new to something" is inherently not meant to last long.

u/maybelator Aug 05 '14

but this thread tho.

2

u/trsilverman Aug 06 '14

This is a default sub now, the average redditor isn't going to read the voting guidelines before handing out upvotes

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '14

Nice dick. That picture was not another photoshop.

1

u/RacistEpitaph Aug 05 '14

Why did this one make me laugh the hardest then?

2

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '14

Audiences respond well to self-deprecating humor.

1

u/StoneGoldX Aug 05 '14

I like this, if only because it serves as commentary that nothing is ever going to be funnier than the original picture. And that's nothing against the attempts, it's just holy fuck, that's an awesome original picture.

1

u/numberthirteen Aug 05 '14

I chuckled and you got an actual lol out of me when i saw the face on the worker :p

u/not_enough_characte Aug 05 '14

That's so bad it's good.
