The Gayest Stock Photo Of Two Guys Watching Football, EVAH!

Okay, this is one of those photos where you just start playing the "spot everything that's wrong/un-realistic" about this photo.

I imagine after big touchdowns, these two dudes either cuddle, or kiss each other full on the lips, not that there's anything wrong with that, mind you.

I know most REAL football fans, however, watch the game in a slovenly mess, sweatpants, shorts, and with pizza boxes and garbage all over the place. They also don't seem so "Johnny Eager" on the edge of the couch. They are more likely to be grumpy over money lost on the game gambling, anxious at their idiot coach's next dumb move, or just generally loathing the thought of having to return to work on Monday morning.

  1. I showed this to my wife, and the first thing she said was 'I bet this picture was set up and shot by a woman'. Interesting theory. Wonder if it is true.

  2. Stock photos are loved by graphic designers simply due to the fact that they are royalty-free, but not before a paying a steep fee for access to a large library of stock pix that is usually not what you are looking for. With some skill, you can create your own images, videos, and even bumper music now that the software and equipment are now more affordable.

    The two glamor boys in the scene are just one of the examples of how mundane and phony stock photos of "people" are. Now some of the stock pix of ladies (usually attractive) could be classified as soft-core porn...but enough of that.

    Another annoyance is seeing the same stock images on banner ads, gas pumps, and billboards for the past 10 years. You've probably seen the blonde chick jumping up in a business outfit about a 1,000 times, or the goofy fucks with the enlarged heads...

  3. A Simpson's quote comes to mind, when looking at this picture:

    "The rod up that man's butt must have a rod up it's butt."

  4. Is it wrong that I watch a game holding a football like I'm playing? 'Cause if that's wrong I have to tell you, I have to plead ignorance.

  5. are you sure they aren't watching baseball? because these two definitely look like they are a pitcher and catcher.

  6. At least they're watching Directv (the remote is the standard Directv remote) so they at least got that part of it right. The rest is a travesty, and a sham, and a mockery. It's a travishamocracy...

  7. 1. Long sleeved collared shirts to watch football?!?
    2. Sandwiches with frilly toothpicks?
    3. Both have hair gelled up and have shaved today?
    4. I am surprised they aren't using coasters for the beer mug.
    5. A seat with a decorative throw pillow in the background?

  8. sadly, i prefer these two pillow-biters (NTTAWWT) to the insufferable dewshbag schmuck who is out shopping with his wife on a sunday afternoons, taking every opportunity to duck away and hit 'refresh' on his phone to see if the 3rd string tight end from the panthers recorded another pass reception , who then shows up at the water cooler monday morning, after listening to mickey & mickey on the way in, pretending to be a passionate fan who lives & dies with every snap

  9. Czabe, I think that is a large foam #1 finger laying on the table. Wow!

  10. The guy with the remote has hairless forearms. Yea, that happens a lot...And nevermind holding a football while watching a game, who holds a football like that?

  11. Czabe, I don't quite know what your issue is with this. I always dress in my best work casual attire, meticulously clean my house, prepare perfectly stacked deli sandwiches, pour tap beer in mugs, playfully clutch my nerf football, shower, shave, have a quick facial, full body wax, and watch my beloved Packers on Sundays. I used to think I was the only one that went through this routine on NFL Sundays. I'm so happy there's at least two other completely heterosexual men in America that share my pre-game routine. Actually, with the exception of the heterosexual comment, I'm completely full of shit. Crushed beer cans, waning hang overs, greasy good, hoping ol' lazy eye McCarthy doesn't throw the challenge flag, drinking to much, more greasy food, passive aggressive girlfriends, dreading the impending work week...now that sounds like our Sundays!!
