The fuck? This is a real photo?

It’s not, there’s no shadow of the coffin

Not to mention the shadow of the humans is… slenderman?

I think given it's a high angle light, it's cut off at the bottom of the stage

I mean it’s also a picture of the vice president of the United States motor-boating the widow of a prominent political figure while she stands on his coffin which — while we do live in a time of insane things happening in the American political landscape — really probably didn’t happen.

So the shadows of two people in "embrace" form a pregnant woman?

How do you people function on a day-to-day basis?

Yes, this is a totally real photo. Erika Kirk stood on her husband's casket getting motorboated by the vice president of the US while their shadows merged into one. This is definitely an event that would absolutely happen.

/s because obviously you need it.

There are some people on this platform that absolutely cannot pick satire to save their own lives, and there are some who are just plain stupid.

The person you replied to is likely both.

Have you been paying attention to reality lately? Weirder shit happens every day.

After posting the comment, I looked at the pic again and yeah it looked odd, but I wasn't going to delete my comment over it.

Also, if the lighting was at an angle, the shadows could have combined like that. It was the jumbled up text in the background that raised my eyebrow.

Yea. Look at the Shadow
