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.

  2. Tsaukpaetra says:

    No, it’s photoshopped. Read the posts above, especially by Keatk and Tulex.

  3. schnallity says:

    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!

  7. Eric says:

    ANSWER: Look at the stripes of the fish. It should read the “F” word :)

  8. tgunny says:

  11. Lisa says:

  12. Iris says:

    Look at the markings on the fish :P I didn’t get it until a while after, either! Very Rude!

  13. Alisshiaa12 says:

    I honestly hope that fish is photoshopped.
    Marine animals are getting crueler by the minute…

  14. Kyraa says:

    LOL this took me 3 days to finally figure it out…

  15. SD says:

    what has science done!!!

  16. Lily Hargrove says:

    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.

  19. RosinaWilson says:

    A hint for Halley ~ The yellow stripes form 4 letters…

  20. Astrid says:

    OMFG MY NEW FAV FISH!! XD

  21. Harveen says:

    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!

  22. A says:

    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

  23. LAS says:

    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.

  24. HiI'manormalperson says:

    You know kids go on here…

  25. plmethvin says:

    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.

  26. Jimbo Braggart says:

    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.

  27. Patrick says:

    Saw 4 letter word on fish about 20secs after window painted. Looked all around it for other creatures 1st…

  28. Anastasia says:

    What it washed up on the beach and you saw it. (I know its photoshopped.) Just asking a what-if question.

  29. the smarted person on earth (or not) :) says:

    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

  34. Atty says:

  35. NIck says:

    Yep, what you have there is a Fuckfish

  36. I says: says:
