This New Jersey Alien Photo Got 1.1 Million Views In Just 2 Days
This photograph of an "alien" supposedly caught in New Jersey during a fishing trip has gone viral with over 1.1 million views. It's been picked up by GrindTV.com and viewed by Reddit users hundreds of thousands of times. The total bandwidth usage so far? 73 GB in two days -- Pretty impressive, right? According to Reddit commenters, it appears to be a sea lamprey, a parasitic lamprey found on the Atlantic coasts of Europe and North America, in the western Mediterranean Sea, and in the Great Lakes.
"It's also worth noting that it's by far the biggest one I have ever seen, it's enormous," says one Reddit commenter :
To everyone telling me about perspective, I know, I'm comparing it's size to the pole protruding from the open wound and it's still very large for a lamprey. You usually only see them about an inch to an inch and a half across. This guy's probably a good three inches in diameter.
Another commenter thinks it may have been killed with a bow fishing arrow:
I'm pretty sure it was killed with an arrow, more specifically a bow fishing arrow. You can see the line that connects the arrow to the bow hanging down behind his hand. I'm guessing it's almost 3 inches thick. Source: Avid Bowfisherman
first..
ReplyDeleteLooks bigger due to forced perspective
DeleteNow I'm hungry
Yep, and a width of three inches isn't unknown for the sea lamprey. It's absolutely nothing out of the ordinary.
DeleteIt's obviously been foreshortened.
DeleteAngry Penis
DeleteKen: OH LORD, that's freaky man.
ReplyDeleteNasty species!
ReplyDeleteIt's definately a lamprey but like the guy says an absolutely huge one unless it's been altered on photoshop. Those 3 holes near the hand are a dead giveaway that it's a lamprey, they're very eel like with a mouth full of teeth the river where I live used to be full of them. When I was a kid you'd wade in there and just grabb em with your hands! They were only like 5 or 6 inches long and a muddy brown colour. In parts of Eastern Europe they fish and eat them from the lakes there.
DeleteObviously photoshopped.
ReplyDeleteYeah riiigggghhhhhtttttt.
DeleteKen: thought they were like two feet long. BIG BIG animal that one is.
DeleteAgreed. You can see that the smudge tool was used for blending around the "alien," particularly where the trees are in the background.
DeleteIt's not even a good photoshop job.
Only a dumbass would think that's real.
DeleteIt's not photoshopped. There would be no need for the smudge tool if someone cut out and enlarged the lamprey. Instead, look at the diameter of the rod where it's closest to the guy's hand, and compare it to the diameter of the rod where it's entering the lamprey. It's simply the perspective that makes it look huge.
DeleteI bet you felt really smart when you said that it's "not even a good photoshop."
Haha.
Well, at the very least, I feel confident enough to put my real name on my comment, Anonymous - 10:44:00 AM PST.
DeleteMaybe you should grow a pair and do the same.
What does that have to do with anything? Do you think that using your real name to post dumb comments on a Bigfoot site makes you more "manly" than me? Is that some sort of small victory for you? Pathetic.
DeleteLooks enhanced but that's a large lampray.
ReplyDeleteUh oh Big Jim Jr is going to have penis envy
ReplyDeleteYou mean Big Vajima Jr
DeleteZING !!
DeleteBig Jim has a micro-penis and he is pissed at the world for it.
DeleteZA-ZING !!
DeleteHA ! nice
DeleteI knew that crap I took on vacation back in '09 felt funny. I was worried it would mutate in those sewer systems back east. It even gave birth to a bunch of little trolls. I wish NY and NJ would zap sewage before dumping it into waterways. Before much longer these lampreys will give birth to so many trolls and other parasites they will take over websites and political offices. Oh wait...
DeleteOh wait... you have no penis
DeleteYeah you have a Big Vajima
DeleteZA-ZING !!
DeleteGross! Is it to late to deport them...just sayin.
ReplyDeleteA new species has been discovered:
ReplyDeleteThe Gigantotard.
We believe this species evolved from the supertard, which in turn evolved from the skeptard.
Our findings are awaiting peer review.
However, if you simply read the daily comments on this blog, you will see plain evidence of the existence of gigantotard. You will find individual gigantotards in social groups with their lesser brethren, the supertards and skeptards, engaging in various forms of social intercourse and group behaviors.
Raw data is being collected daily from the comments section of this blog.
Seriously, will this guy just give it up already? The worst troll that's ever been on here.
DeleteYou'd be irritable too, if melba bent you over and reamed you with a kong dong.
DeleteI'm glad it's nobody I know. What a boring, humorless, bitter drag. It's over! You lose! Find a new obsession.
DeleteWhat"s wrong? Mommy didn"t bring lunch to the basement today??? Another loser trying to feel good about being better off dead!!!
DeleteHe's just mad that Smelba failed him and the rest of them church of bigfoot degenerates.
DeleteNo monkey man, deal with it. Real scientists have thoroughly destroyed and exposed Smelba and her self promotion circus.
The worst sin Skeptardical Enquirer is that it's neither witty nor funny. Your free to skewer us skeptics like that hapless lamprey but do it with some creativity. The routine you have been using is tired and boring. Apparently any imagination you have only extends to believing in ape-like creatures all over the United States.
DeleteYou do it everyday! You call it family!!!
DeleteI thought it was pretty funny.
DeleteIsn't a Gigantotard Leotards for fat chicks
DeleteHA! nice
DeleteIt's a Sasquatch penis
ReplyDeleteIt"s what trolls see when they get close to a women!!! Losers!!!
ReplyDeleteHey its sigourney weavers alien dildo
ReplyDeleteWho wants to jack this dick!
ReplyDeleteI guess not even you!!!
DeleteI do I do.....I'm a rectum wrecker too!
