We like John Daly, really we do, but we’re not always sure that he’s got his head screwed on right.
Thanks Brian.

    Nice pants, so now there’s snow in Hawaii?

      There is snow in Hawaii’s volcanos, you know. There are even a snow godess, Poliahu, in hawaiian mythology.

      • Waldobaby

        What do they have, like, ONE word for snow?

    So what’s wrong with this? All boarders who have fallen on their head once or twice look like their heads are on wrong and way smaller than it should be… This is totally natural for these kind of people.

    Amazing! I AM LOVING IT MAN.

    • Josin

      Dude, I just listened to you singing “Peace Train” on my way to work this morning. Good stuff!

  • Jonny Dade

    Jeez, like this picture wasn’t a trainwreck enough, they decided to throw in a totally pointless golf club for no clear reason whatsoever. This is what happens when you get special needs retards to do the work for free.

      I’m thinking they actually FORGOT to take the golf club out, and that was from another picture, and this is a comping trip gone awry, or they just drew the white sleeves of the jacket in over a golfer’s arm. (Or cut out the jacket sleeves, and the cuffs, and pasted them in, in multiple peices and it was so bad they had to color over it with 100% opaque white in places to hide the awful boarders of their cuts)Both of the arms have pure white triangle shaped patches to imitate shadow/highlight, but its totally unlike the torso of the jacket.

      The bright white on the sleeves (and also a tiny trangle at the bottom left of the jacket that looks like it was done with a magnetic selection tool to try to imitate a highlight/lighting effect) is FLAT AS HECK with absolutely NO texture on some parts; so it ends up looking like it was cut out and/or drawn with the same light/shadow concept as an anime cartoon.

      I’m also pretty sure those black “gloved hands” were just outlined vaguely into a lumpy hand-like shape, and then filled in with a paint bucket. XD;/rambling on and on

      Please, some humility. You and I have obviously never done the things this old veteran has done. His neck. His stature. His intellect. Look at all he’s sacrificed!

      • Jonny Dade

        True, you really gotta there and come back to get away with wearing pants like that. Such outstanding pants…

  • Dianinha72

    How to do this:
    1- Chop hawaiian´s legs, attach to snow board (snow in hawaii, hum)
    2- Attach half legs to small torso, in non-matching clothing and size
    3- Add non-matching, looking-the-other-way head
    4- Add golf club (!!!!) for no reason

    ta-da! Now you´re a professional photoshopper.

  • Josin

    I want to see John Daly pull off that move.

    Broken neck aside… The real disaster is those pants! I thought we got over Zubaz back in 1986?I also like that that snow looks more like a cloud… That background was just a plain blue rectangle, then someone made a new layer and and took a soft brush and dumped a few patches of white and then smudged the hell out of it.. You can still SEE the smudge marks where they did it on too high a strength. But then it got complicated with they had to CHANGE BRUSHES and make thick lumps of white and the bottom and *gasp* add some gray to make a few places where it almost resembled a shadow.Add an airbrush on a low opacity for the dust, and a few dollops of white here and there for the little bits of snow and POOF… this background of ‘clouds and/or snow’ depending on if you’re throwing a dude in ugly pants or a bird over top of it.

  • Vaghyjones

    I really like how the pant pattern is just slapped up. Not even an attempt to mimic wrinkles or contour.

    Igor goes snowboarding while Dr. Frankestein is sleeping.

  • Thatguy

    Legs should not be able to do that…

  • McFrost

    You know, if most of you would just go to the Loudmouth website, you would see both this picture and the one it is cloned from. There is NOTHING wrong with the snowboarder’s legs; his right knee is bent from pulling the board up to his right hand, a common move in both snowboarding and skateboarding.

    The real crime in this ad is Photoshopping Daly’s head into the image so poorly and changing the pattern of the pants to Daly’s style. And yes, the golf club has been added, too. Again, go to the Loudmouth website and click on the John Daly tab. The image will switch back and forth between the real snowboarder and the Daly mishmash.

  • mik

    So what? My girlfriend’s head can do that.

    • Waldobaby

      Yes. Yes it can…

  • besucher

    The legs look short because the planted that pattern onto the trousers without bothering to add some perspective.
    I also think they made that head look in that direction because with the rasied arm it lookes like he’s cheering. And the golf club adds to that impression of “cheering”.

    HOWEVER, they forgot to take a step back and look at the image as a whole. I’m also not sure whether they’ve ever seen an actual snowboarder. Because snowboarders usually look down and don’t carry unnecessary golfclubs with them. And they prefer their snow to be on solid gorund.

  • Farlakes

    makes me wonder what Poliahu’s handicap is…

  • Firewall

    Poliʻahu..! Priceless. Thanks, Saurio.

  • Waldobaby

    RE: the wallpaper pants: I wonder what they would have done if the pattern was plaid… Maybe look like Plaid Jack Clarity?

  • Heidi

    His head doesn’t bother me as much as his pants. If there is any chance the position of his legs was real, there would be wrinkles and creases in his pants, but there are no folds in the pattern

    I wonder … is there anything original in this image at all? Did it start out as a dream in an underfunded Art Director’s mind? “I saw some pic on a billboard driving to work from Marina Del Rey, and it (scribbles on a sheet of graph paper) looked something like this. Can you mock that up, Igor?” “Yeeeeeess, maaaaaster…!”

  • Guest

    Dear Lord. The only thing worse than those legs in this pic are those awful pants. Foreshortening is a bitch.

    • Dickblik

      yeah and making pants on a photo are too, that shit is way too bright and has no shadow on it. i cant be sure of the golf club either. this is the biggest disaster on the site

      LMAOOOOO!!!!!
