Update 11/27/2008 – Sorry everyone, I knew nothing about this image, nor what it represents. Official apology has been posted here.

I found an interesting picture today, while browsing the endless internet. It was marked as an “optical illusion“, but I could see nothing that would justify this name. What is so special about black and white lines? Nothing I guess. But then I saw it – It’s awesome! This would be some cool way to hide secret messages and information. Maybe we are not even aware that this could be some highly sensitive information government or army lost by accident? You never know. Can you spot the illusion it holds? I’m sure you can, just don’t give up! I’d really like to hear what you see, since I’m not exactly positive.

    ok guys, i think with 83 COMMENTS we have established WHAT it is… what i’m interested in is the illusion… isn’t that what this site is about? how did they get an image just with black and white lines? though the image itself isn’t, i think the actual illusion is pretty amazing.

  2. FaQ says:

    Wow that is absolutely amazing! How did they get the image to appear in just those lines?

    Wow….it amazes me how few people know who Pedobear is, and it amazes me even more how many people comment on how it’s a “loony toon” (which saddens me enough), but post that despite the pages of comments about who Pedobear is. Wow. That’s hilarious– this just made my night. Thanks for the apology btw, unneeded as the people that would care are those that would never have heard of Pedobear anyway, but professionalism like that is rare nowadays.

    As i was reading your caption i saw the picture with the corner of my eye, and saw a very obvious giant shadow. i wondered why everyone else had trouble seeing it, and did i have super powers? then i looked directly at it, and couldn’t see it at all. damn, no superpowers

    if you use your click wheel (or whatever it is you use to scroll a page) and scroll up and down very quickly you can see the bear more easily. the color and inside details are easier to see when doing this

    can’t believe it’s actually pedobear. really! really!? puting pedobear into art was the best they could do…. well…. good job then. (thumbs up)
    For people that cant see it, drag the image up and down. U can faintly see pedobear veering from the middle to the right… so basically on the right side.

  64. Aurel says:

    Pedobear. All you have to do is move back from the screen a bit.
