It’s one of those “When You See It…” type of photos that really had me puzzled at first. But then when it suddenly popped-out, I spilled my coffee all over myself. So how long did it take before you were able to see it? If you can ignore the meaning just for a second, I think you’ll agree it’s one of the better submissions we saw lately. Agree? Huge props to Michael J. Höller for bringing this to my attention via our FB channel.

That was easy to see
No, it’s photoshopped. Read the posts above, especially by Keatk and Tulex.
Aside from the photoshop work, there’s actually an optical illusion on the fish itself, thanks to Mother Nature: the black spot on the fish’s body looks like an eye, making the fish look like a predator fish with a tail sticking out of it’s mouth to it’s enemies.
And I bet this fish’s enemies say “oh Photoshop-curse!” when they see him coming!
It says Fu*k on the fish’s side
This one is great !
not a perfect curcle its riqid like its made of squares
Hint: look at the pattern of the fish…
i placed my cursor over the picture and solved it instantly. is this a real fish??
ANSWER: Look at the stripes of the fish. It should read the “F” word :)
besides the fish eating the other fish did any1 notice the stripes spell out “fuck” lmao
that is very inappropriate kids play on this site like me
What’s so impolite? Please ppl help me! Is it supposed to be looking at something or…..?
don’t see a thing people
Look at the markings on the fish :P I didn’t get it until a while after, either! Very Rude!
I honestly hope that fish is photoshopped.
Marine animals are getting crueler by the minute…
Please be photoshopped…Please….!!!
LOL this took me 3 days to finally figure it out…
what has science done!!!
Your gadget had been on my desktop until this illusion forced me to remove it. My two boys (8 and 10) had really enjoyed the illusions. I’m just taken aback, and disappointed, that you felt this was appropriate.
Check this out…
cool! Good work!! :)
cool! i love legos. ( by the way the fish says f#$%)
AWESOME! I love it!
Saw it right away ;) Wondered whether it was real or ‘shopped ~ thanxxx to jeromax for posting the original pic.
A hint for Halley ~ The yellow stripes form 4 letters…
OMFG MY NEW FAV FISH!! XD
It’s been photoshopped…. That just ruined my day, I thought it was pretty cool until I saw some of the pre-photoshopped pics…:( Sorry guys!
AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH THEY SAID THIS WAS A KID FRIENDLY SITE!!!!!1 THAT IS NOT VERY KID FRIENDLY!!!!!!!!! I THINK THEY NEED TO STICK TO THAT PROMISE AND P.S AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Would be better if it weren’t photoshopped, and even better if the people with kids would just lighten up. It’s a word – and it’s not like they won’t see/hear it again.
You know kids go on here…
Not kid-friendly. I am disappointed. Plus, it’s shopped. so where’s the illusion? The fish doesn’t “appear” to be impolite by the false markings. It IS impolite.
What’s inappropriate about it? I’m sure that most kids, while absorbing their mandatory images of murder, abuse, alcoholism, drug use, chauvinism, bigotry, and other desensitizing perversions served up by the entertainment industry, they have come across the word “fuck” at least 4.37 times.
Saw 4 letter word on fish about 20secs after window painted. Looked all around it for other creatures 1st…
What it washed up on the beach and you saw it. (I know its photoshopped.) Just asking a what-if question.
I FINALLY GOT IT after like, a couple weeks… lol. *hints* the word is the yellow stipes on the fish. look at the strips, not the white parts
natural illusion..
OH MY GOD, OHHHHH MY GOT YOU CRUEL FISHY!!
When you see it….you will sh*t bricks
That is the coolest fish in the world!!!!!!
I think this fish to be rather rude.. xD
Yep, what you have there is a Fuckfish
at first it took me FOREVER to guess it because i was looking way to close. if your having trouble, just stand back, look at the fish’s yellow striped. the stripes are letter. and it says the f- word
This is the real one:
