haha... yeah i saw that picture. Those two duke fans are lucky they didnt get their asses beat in the middle of the student section. If that was a football game those two would be done for.

[Voltron87]

photoshopped?

[mmbt0ne]

Come on now. We both know that no Duke fan would go to a football game.

That's probably the only thing ever that could replace IndieMatty's avatar on the background of my computer.

My point was more or less that they are lucky that they are basketball fans and not football fans. I dont even know if Duke has a football team, but if 2 opposing team fans showed up in the middle of my fraternity's block at a football game they would receive much worse than a defaming sign.

I'd give 'em a beer and a burger. You're too intense.

i think too drunk is probably the problem. Football games get out of hand with drunkeness. I probably wouldnt do anything, but i know a lot of people that would.

how so? do you mean the sign that the maryland guy is holding or the entire thing? I think that it is completely possible that it's real.

[MEbenhoe]

k I can even find humor in that. PWNED!!!!! if thats actually real. However, that does look somewhat faked.

Sounds good to me. Unless they show up in my section with a sign and start waving it around.....

Hmmmmm... Im unsure now. At first glance it seemed there were some depth issues, i.e. people between rows that dont seem to fit. Now Im not sure, but it still seems a little put together.

[AEKDBet]

we're all just a little too skeptical. I'm a believer dammit.

[thatpfunk]

After someone suggested it I thought it was photoshopped, but upon further review... it looks pretty legit.

It just doesnt look quite right, something seems a little off but I cant explain what :/

Also, how many people at a basketball game just happen to have a spare piece of posterboard, some scissors and a red magic marker, in order to make that sign?? Seems a bit much

[Voltron87]

There are no shadows, the boards are perfectly white and straight, etc.

[Joe826]

no way this is photoshop'd.

[MEbenhoe]

on closer inspection, definitely photoshopped

[Clarkmeister]

I agree it looks photoshopped. However, if you look at the other pictures on that site, they are all legit. It would be odd for them to just post one photoshop and the rest real pics. To see what I'm talking about, in the URL type in 1, 3, 4, etc instead of the '2' at the end of the line.

I understand your point, but the closer I inspect this picture the closer little details become apparent to me that there is no way this photo could be real.

[thatpfunk]

explain the little details...

I have a meeting to run to, so no time right now. If anyone inspects this closely they should be able to find them by the time I get back, otherwise I'll explain more later.

[Vince Young]

Definitely fake. Look at how much room there is between the Duke fans and the fans in front of them.

This is what I was referring to originally when I mentioned depth issues. This is the biggest evidence that it is faked.

They could be standing on the bench or there could be some sort of section separator there. I'm not sure if its fake or not. The fact that the other pictures on the site are real leads me to believe it's real. My big question is, who took this picture?

whered he get the sign, thats the reason I think its fake (that and it looks "funny")

[MEbenhoe]

Why its fake:

1. Most obvious reason, "depth issues" as they've been called
2. Look at fatty and look at the girl on his left(your right as you're viewin the pic)

By closely inspecting this we can assume one of two things has to be true:
A. fatty and said girl are in the same row
B. girl is in the row behind fatty

If A is true, fatty would not only likely be standing on girl's feet, but she would also have a faceful of blubber arm. Not something that usually leaves a girl with a nice smiling face.

If B is true, this would mean that there is absolutely no one anywhere near the "duke fans". This is a completely unrealistic possibility as anyone who's ever been in the student section at a major college basketball game would know.

3. Look at where many of the people in the picture are looking. Its a clever picture as most of the people's stares are in the direction of the supposed signs. However, this actual makes it less believable, because if this is true then we are to think that these people are all looking at the back of the signs? doubtful

4. The timing of the picture. For a Duke fan to hold up this sign in the middle of a Maryland crowd it would have to mean Redick or someone else on Duke had just made a big play, but the Maryland fans in the crowd are all happy,even those who wouldn't possibly be able to see the sign.

5. Note the people in front of the signs. If this was actually taking place you'd see a lot of turned heads, yet you see none.

Yeah ok so these are just all opinions. Who knows if its real or not, but if it is real I'd almost guarantee those are Maryland fans in Duke jerseys and that that was a planned stunt.

[thatpfunk]

If you guys would look at the picture closely, all your photoshopped thoughts would dissapear.

There are people directly in front of the sign holder, they are just behind bigger people, you can see their outlines.

Fat guy could be leaning forward etc... I dont think depth issues are a prob

[Joe826]

nice try, but no dice. especially after considering the source of the pic.

This is a funny picture, but it's so Photoshopped that it isn't... even... funny?

wait a minute. that's not really what i meant.

but this is quite Photoshopped. and funny.



Edit: If you look closely you can practically pick apart the different photoshop layers -

-the "front three rows" or so seems to be one layer

-the Duke fans, the "ly gay" kid and (most importantly) the chick who is looking to our left behind the Duke fan with the sign; these four people make up another layer

-the people to the immediate left and right of the above layer (the olive-skinned girl and the Maryland fan looking to our left) and the row behind them (in front of that little divider) and even everything behind THEM (the non-student section people) appear to be the final layer

[Lazymeatball]

lots of paranoid conspiracy theorists here. The shadows all line up. If this is photoshopped, then that guy is the best [censored][/b]ing photoshop guy alive ever. He could make a picture of Nixon banging marilyn monroe if he wanted.

while that's a bit of an exaggeration, this does seem like a pretty good photoshop. Look a little bit more closely if you think everything lines up and that there no depth problems. the source photos (however many were used I'm not sure.. at least 2 or 3) are similar in quality, but you can tell it is not all one image.
