Ttlly ’shOpped…Pxls r all wr0ng!

By Dewster on Aug 31, 2008

I Hate Photoshop noobs who claim that every picture is shopped. Maybe if they had some good arguments other than the ‘This is photoshopped and I can tell because of the pixels and seeing quite a few shpos in my time’ they would be a bit more liked. Remember that Jorge, It might help you get some friends.

I Hate you and i think your hat is stupid.

totally shopped, you can tell cause regular stair arent that steep

By I Hate People who Hate Photoshop noobs on Sep 1, 2008

“totally shopped, you can tell cause regular stair arent that steep”
LMFAO

By that made me lol on Sep 2, 2008

Wow… Obviously they haven’t even heard of Aztec stairs… granted they aren’t quite this steep but it just shows that not every set of staircases are going to be the same… besides, I’m sure these were built long before “regular stairs” were…

By Why are they stupid? on Sep 3, 2008

so where do they end up heavens door ?

By nige on Sep 5, 2008

I wonder how a Slinky would fair on those….

By mcgrimus on Sep 8, 2008

You’d fall off pretty soon after climbing up, wouldn’t you?

By djskein on Sep 10, 2008

if u look at the trees at the top u will see they are not growing towards the sun

By markus power on Sep 10, 2008

Cool picture, I stumbled here and now I wanna stumble my way to China to climb those bastards!

Er, djskein y would u fall off them - there’s pretty much a ladder!

By Clare on Sep 13, 2008

I’d rather climb up than climb down.

By web on Sep 14, 2008

Awesome pictures, one of those places I want to see before I die kinda thing.

By Seth Adams on Sep 14, 2008

Is there a picture on the internet without some idiot saying that it is photoshopped? Unless you actually have evidence and able to prove that evidence, dont say that something is photoshopped, because you are only making yourself look foolish.

By stfushop on Sep 23, 2008

People who say “photoshopped” are clones. Their DNA is screwed up so it’s easy to tell them from regular people. Also if you squint at them a IQ balloon appears over their heads and a number below 70 appears. But this is the hard way to tell cause they are usually so ugly and pasty white from sitting on their puters 24/7 you can’t look at them for long.

By Ooooba on Sep 27, 2008

Saying that pictures and stuff on these websites were photoshopped is an on going joke. You need to stop telling people to stop. It won’t change anything.

And, yes, I just contradicted myself. :3

By I don't think you people understand. on Oct 1, 2008

By the way;

This picture is photoshopped. I can tell because I’m an experienced user and the pixels are all wrong.

By I don't think you people understand. on Oct 1, 2008

Obviously shopped. No way in hell those would be possible to climb without a tether line(Is that the word? Not much on hiking.), and they even seem to go OUTWARDS towards the top. As said before by Dewster, “Pxls r all wrong!”

By Lolursonub on Dec 30, 2008

No, my friend. I have climbed some staircases in China, but these stairs are the real deal. I found out by climbing them at Hwashan in China for kung fu training. No joke. You can see videos of monks doing maybe on youtube or check out “Shaolin Wheel of Life” It looks at first like they are crawling horizontally on all fours, but they are going straight up.

By therealdeal on Jun 21, 2009

Not photoshopped look at how the chains are hanging. Gravity and sun shadows are the key.

If photoshopped-er get a real live Outside sometimes they would know these things.

By Diego on Jun 29, 2009

This is in Peru. Its real. If you look at it at a different angle than the picture if you were actually there; there is a slight slant to make it steps. Still… Just sayin’

By Bastian Gatten on Aug 27, 2009

its tryly sad that if a picture came up with undeniable proof and a note from the pope, some dickhead would put in a “shopped” comment just to have something to post.

By bryan on Aug 27, 2009

Well, If you all would have just listened to mtnsoccerguy and used his link. you’d know it was real because you can go there.. and climb those steps,, errr,, ladders

By che guevara on Aug 27, 2009

Shopped!!!

By CuCo on Aug 28, 2009

Are you people new to the internet or something? rofl
It’s deffed shopped, why else would the guy be wearing a white glove after all?

By Shopped! on Aug 29, 2009

This argument is photoshopped. I can tell from the stupids.

By Trollolol on Aug 29, 2009

Now that’s a workout!

By Chrissy on Aug 30, 2009

does anyone else notice that the top seems to go past a 90 degree angle?

By I Hate You All on Sep 2, 2009

To those that think this is photoshopped, why don’t you leave your house (and beloved computer) and see for yourself. You would be surprised by all the unusual and fantastic places in the world that are NOT SHOPPED!

By traveler on Sep 4, 2009

I’m pretty sure we call that a ladder.

By dumbasses. on Sep 4, 2009

Those aren’t staris, those are friggen ladders with chain guardrails!

By Aggro4j00 on Sep 4, 2009

It actually is shopped. I can tell because nobody rolls their cargo shorts like that.

By destruktor on Sep 4, 2009

Totally photoshopped, no one’s shirt can ever be that white. Not even Tide can do that shit.

By photoshopper on Sep 4, 2009

for every comment about it not being photoshopped, 5 will claim it is. so dont feed trolls by telling them they’re wrong. this picture is obviously CGI

By this guy on Sep 5, 2009

Click my name to understand ’shopped. When people are saying it’s photoshopped, they’re not actually saying it’s photoshopped. They’re doing it to troll, and to get a reaction out of you. Guess what? They win.

By YouAllAreIdiots on Sep 5, 2009

I can’t believe it’s been years and years and some people still haven’t heard of xkcd.

BTW those pics? Totally photoshopped. I would know, I’ve seen a few photoshoops in my day.

me = pro

By Phil E. Drifter on Sep 5, 2009

I can’t believe people still have heard about the shops meme yet, great trolling material.

By Lol on Sep 6, 2009

This is actually a photo of me in July 2007 on Hua Shan mountain in China. There were much scarier parts of the park. The original photo’s post is here: http://www.penelopesloom.com/?p=1433. It’s always nice to give credit to the photographer, Pei-Ketron

By Eric on Sep 6, 2009

Aren’t there any other adjectives you Americans can use besides “awesome”. You’re killing a beautiful language.

By The Baldchemist on Sep 8, 2009

AWESOME. I think i just photo-shopped in my pants a little bit.

By AWESOME on Sep 8, 2009

While I do find it enjoyable to watch people freak out because someone says it’s photoshoped it still really bothers me. You guys are the real idiots, of course it’s not shopped they say that as a joke

By Chad on Sep 8, 2009

Photoshoped. You can tell by his haircut (who would get a haircut like that?)

By Anonymous on Sep 8, 2009

All I can say is fuck that! Every nightmare I’ve ever had has involved really steep and tall stairs and this is worse than any of them…

By The Gil on Sep 8, 2009

I agree. I took some shop classes in college, and based on that, I can tell that the pixels are all wrong - they are casting the wrong shadows onto other pixels. I’ve seen a few shops in my time, and this shop is a shop.

By frodoshopped on Sep 13, 2009

How can it be shopped if ive been there?

stupid ppl probably just look at cool pictures and just post comments like: Shopped! all f***ing day.

By REALITY SHOP? on Sep 29, 2009

Disreguard that, I suck cocks.

By REALITY SHOP? on Oct 12, 2009

That is NOT photoshopped. I’ve been there. It’s not a staircase, it’s a ladder. the steps are flat on the horizontal. Do a little research before you judge.

By Brandon on Oct 19, 2009

THIS LOOKS SHOPPED.

I can tell from some of the pixels..

and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.

By Joe on Nov 1, 2009

As an amateur photographer and a person who has looked at architecture and ancient China. This image is not “photoshopped”, but a poor grade most likely cellular camera or disposable camera turned into a CD picture. These stairs are located in China and is the Mt. Huashan Hiking Trails it leads to a Holy Taoist Place. These stairs are real stairs and they are called Huashan Stairway. Just Google or Bing them. Pixels do not equate “shopping”, They equate quality. Hope this helps.

By Mr. S. on Nov 7, 2009

Also yes you may want to look into Aztec and Mayan stairs not to mention ancient Chinese methods of architecture. These stairs were carved directly out of Mt. Huashan directly. Also people in the photo wearing the white glove is because this place goes approximately 1000m up. There is usually icy patches and snow and the glove is to keep it warm while holding the chains. Most the care takers of this Holy Taoist site wear white gloves. Also I used photoshop since it came out Version 1.0 So yes This is in fact real.

By Mr. S. on Nov 7, 2009

I think it’s the set from “The Lord of the Rings” representing the Straight Stair behind Minas Morgul, just outside Mordor.

By JRT on Nov 25, 2009

I love the flame wars here… Its so… drama.

All of you who think this photo is not photoshopped are photoshopped.

By photochopped on Dec 18, 2009

disregard that, I suck cocks

By Mr. S. on Feb 18, 2010

SHOPPED. I can tell by some of the pixels and from having seen quite a few shops in my day.

By BobDole on Mar 7, 2010

you can watch them climb the stairs here and other parts of the mountain that it’s on.

By lala on Mar 8, 2010

Hey MORONS….those people know that it’s not photoshopped, they are just trolls trying to get a reaction from you, stop areguing with them…you are doing exactly what they want…dumbass.

By troll on May 31, 2010

haha, shopped or not shopped those are some serious REAL stairs
