LMAO (I'm such a child. also, spoilers) Okay, I found this at Digg, so many of you have probably already seen it, but if you haven't, take a look at the ebay photo inside, and see if you can figure out the puzzle. (poss. nsfw) →[More:]

"This table was for sale on eBay. How can you tell it is being sold by a man?"

Look carefully, and see if you can find the essential clue. (This image does not have a shrieking face that will jump out at you, btw; it's an actual ebay photo as far as I know.)

via the Pictures from eBay blog, via digg.

ps: scrolling down to comments will probably tip you off, so if you want to figure it out on your own, stick here til you see the light.

Ha! I've heard there's a whole subculture designated to these sorts of images - they mentioned it on Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me on NPR.

I thought the place to look was a stationary model at first glance.....

One thing I have never had the nerve to do is operate a camera while... in that state. NEVER. I am always afraid it will become obvious in one of the pictures.

Okay, I put a little notice at the bottom, plus a spoiler thingy, so people don't have to hide the weenie comments.

I wish I had timed how long I looked at the photo trying to figure it out... it wasn't very long, but after seeing it I couldn't believe it wasn't the first thing to jump out at me. So to speak.

Are the people who operate a camera in this state subliminal exibitionists?

posted by dabitch 03 March | 07:08

misteraitch's link seems to suggest... not so subliminal at all. Which just takes every bit of fun out of it, dagnabit.

"Reflectoporn", there's another dumb word I never hoped to know.

I honestly thought it was that paper towels were used for the runner. I see now I was wrong.

We're going to have to start being careful with the lolcats.

Not much of a state, to be fair. He coulda just been, you know, undressed.
