Anti Fourth of July
FOUND by Jonathan Guggenheim
in Hollywood, California
Found on the sidewalk in a photo book entitled "Anti Fourth of July." The cover had an American flag with black duct tape replacing the red stripes.

to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...

» We're hopping on a plane and jetting to Europe for our Fall 2008 Euro Tour!
Well, that's fucked up.
Couldn't have said it better than Sara.
There are some things in life that you just can't unsee. This is one of them.
Disturbing. Very disturbing.
Well, they look the type to play with roadkill.
EW.
...if you don't like the United States of America and what we stand for then you can get the fuck out. Animal sacrifice is sadistic and wrong, I truly hope these two and anyone like them have a grueling death and rot on the side of the road.
Why are they replacing the color of bloodshed with black, considering they're apparently ok with bloodshed...
...or this could be a weird anti-drinking and driving thing...I doubt it. Bastards.
And THIS is why it can be so hard not to hate strangers. If one saw these two at a gas station off the highway, one might toss at them a passing greeting. This makes me not want to be nice to strangers because they might be sick a$$h0les. How could someone be so disrespectful?! How could someone be so blind?! What can one even say to describe just how sad this is? >:'(
Wow their parents must be so proud. I mean, how messed up do you have to be to see a dead deer on the side of the road and think "oh look, photo opp".
Disgusting.
This is a great find! The comments just make it better. I'm more concerned about Kristen than the two in the photo.
Well, if this disgusting display's soul purpose was to represent the over abundance of completely ignorant,ultimately stupid,disrespectful A-hole's there are in this country....success!
nice to see people getting mad over roadkill, war going on? nah, just deer
At least we can safely assume she got panty crickets from sitting on a disease infested rotting deer carcass. I capital H hope so.
To "really": You know, some people actually find sadism and needless death repulsive, no matter the species. Maybe if more people had more compassion for the defenseless on the planet, we wouldn't have to worry about obliterating ourselves and each other. Wanna see the war end? Draft the Bush twins.
That's Hot.
you can care about animals AND ending the war you know...
I second "Mur" on the panty crickets....sick fucks, they are!
What's going on, Kristen? From experience per days past, I might contribute such rapid-scattered thoughts to a little late-night aromatherapy.
Hee hee.... panty crickets.... never heard that phrase before but I love it... Takes a little of the sting out of this disturbing photo.
Kristen, you're funny.
I think if everyone in the states who wasn't completely happy with it left, it would be a pretty quite part of the world. Who knows? Even the national anthem has question marks in it...
if only you americans cared about all the iraqi citizens that get killed every day as much
i dont think it is right to generalize every american citizen and say that "we" dont care as much. i think about those souls every day, and it breaks my heart that there isnt much i can do to help.
maybe the deer jumped in front of their car, sacrificing itself for awareness of civilizations intrusion into it's natural habitat.
oh wait, maybe i should just appreciate it for its weirdness and try not to get so caught up in some mundane analysis of a photo where i try to draw parallels between dead deer, redneck america, and the war. yay!
I THINK I KNOW THAT GUY
I imagine the intent of the picture is to shock people. Personally, I think it's juvenile and stupid, not edgy.
SNOB
Didn't any of you see Tom Green hump a dead moose on his show? Blame Canada!
Seems unlikely that this is "roadkill" as some have suggested. Have none of you seen a deer hit by a car? They don't die that nicely. The position of this one has more in common with a decoy than a deer hit by a vehicle.
Looking at the photo, I never once thought these two were responsible for killing the deer. If the deer's already dead, what's the harm in posing with it (apart from a few panty crickets)? What are they supposed to do, bury it?
its pictures like this that give Americans a bad name. With regard to people caring more about deer than Iraqis, people who think this is disgusting, would think that mistreatment/war with other people is disgusting as well, but this is what we are given today, to comment on. A 'found' picture of a human body being disrespected would get comments as well. (god, i hope we never have to deal with a found like that) Respect for life is respect for life.
i love how two teenagers who are probably drunk off their asses and doing something stupid, can be called sadistic and be said to represent all thats wrong in america. i, too, am against animal abuse, but i dont think they killed this deer. i think theyre careless kids who were making a joke out of a death that couldnt be prevented.
animal sacrifice?!?! oh, get over yourself kristen... of course they didn't kill the animal, they're just idiots posing for a stupid photo. at worst you could criticise this for being 'not very funny', but i'd hardly wish them a grueling death at the side of the road... sicko...
SALT best laugh I've had in a long time
...this is the worst digression in comments I've ever seen on this site. Sarah nailed it on comment one and then it turned into all Americans being assholes...? I'm sorry, but my first question has to be: Where is it stated that those are Americans posing in the photo? Hrmmm...
What Abby said.
DOH! I just realized that *I* have a polaroid I took years ago of two coworkers in the parking lot posing with a dead deer - one holding the deer's head up for the pic - and I love it! One of them had found the deer on the way to work, pulled over (an opportunist!), found that it had just been hit, and put it in his trunk. They were about to slaughter it and then take it to a freezer somewhere at lunchtime. Hey, it was Minnesota.
Ya know, some of us love animals AND have a sick sense of humor! I do see the point about disrespect. But it seems so many people are desperate for reasons to think other people are much more stupid and inferior than they are, because it is easier that way.
In fact, that job in Minnesota taught me a lot about this, not to drone on TOO much. I was just out of art school, and of course assumed all typical suburban people were boring, ignorant idiots. This job was in a very typical new suburb, and my coworkers lived there, and... I was wrong.
Most of ya'll are thinkin' way to hard. Decoy, animal sacrifice, dead Iraqies....who cares. More than anything this picture is gross. And I hope that bitch showered.
I hope those two don't breed.
we live in northern michigan and harvest our own meat. While this is not our preferred method of hunting - i can't say we have never hit a deer then taken it home - at least it didnt die needlessly, you just cut off the mangled part - i.e. "dog food" and process the rest. Can anyone say Dinner! Get over yourselves - meat is yummy.
I guess you had to be there.
sick, indecent pieces of sh**. GOD BLESS AMERICA.
I wonder what the comments would be like if these two were disgracing a effigy of a bloody George W. Bush.... I bet the compassion would be incredible.
SALT is the Tom Green of Found. Insipid.
I did assume the people in the photo were americans. THe photo was found in california, so, reasonable assumption, tho i guess they could be vacationing.
I like meat as much as the next omnivore. I dont object to harvesting a deer that's been needlessly killed. I think that's more respectful of the sacrifice than to leave it to rot there. Native americans/canadians give thanks to the animal spirits for giving of their lives for their sustenance (i'm sure that i dont have that exactly right, but, you get the point)
However.
I think hunters who pose with their kill, who decorate their dens with their heads are as barbaric as these two.
First, "panty crickets" and "I guess you had to be there" both made me lose a little biscuit to laughing. Thanks for that.
Second, some people on this site *coughkristencough* need to relax. Living in any rural area means you're going to see a whole lot of dead deer at certain times of the year. While I would never actually squat over one like I were about to rub my funk on it, I've seen my fair share of them. Jesus Lord that girl needs to rethink what is okay to touch with bare skin, especially when you're wearing what looks like a skirt.
I have to say though, I enjoy the guy's pose, like he just kicked that deer's ass. Not that I think the deer needed an ass-kicking, just that I know if he'd gone mano-a-hoofo with a deer, he'd be creamed. But seriously, the guy's dirty wifebeater and studded belt matches perfectly with his dead-deer-humpin girlfriend.
How bizzare ! I like to think of myself as spontaneous and fun loving , but it would never occur to me to straddle a roadkill and smile for the camera . And what does this have to do with independence ? Each to his own , though ! Hey , let's really do this 4th up right while we still have limited free speech and a few rights ok ?!
This is pretty sick, but I don't think they killed the deer themselves, which is some consolation.
also, what is a panty cricket?
Panty crickets ! I laughed so hard I almost threw up !
Come on! Forget the 'panty crickets' and petty bickering and focus on the fact that this man thought it was cool to give the finger to a dead deer. If that's not how to express yourself, I don't know what is.
Once, I was walking with my friend and came across a dead bird. Acting on some strange impulse, I wedged the clove I was smoking into the dead bird's open beak and took a picture. After developing it, I wrote in the margin "Smoking Kills Birds" and thought it funny.
I don't hate animals. I love them actually and am a vegetarian. I was just bored and 19 years old. I imagine the circumstances leading to this picture are something like that.
The most disturbing part about this picture is the fact that there is a third person actually snapping the pic, I like to call him "The Director". He set this shot up. Probably and Tarrantino wanna-be.
Wow! Panty crickets! I love it! The digression of comments makes me laugh harder though. It's just picture for the love of christ, people need to get over themselves. -cough-kristen-cough
Doesn't so much bother me. At all. Happens some times...and like tbone said..I'm sure you had to be there.
I've heard of Mexican donkey show but this is rediculous. What a skank.
Anyone who thinks this is an example of animal sacrifice is even stupider than the two corpse fondling yayhoos in the picture.
Deer live in my neck of the woods too. I've seen dozens that were struck by vehicles and have even run over one myself. There's nothing unusual about this carcass. Do dear explode when you hit them in other places? I dont' know what else to make of the "They don't die that nicely." comment.
sadly enough this photo is the only surviving memory of my days as a roadie for nancy wilson...
Hot.
ew. just ew.
animal abuse at it's 'best' folks (this is really bad, and i'm totally against all animal abuse, etc.) this is actually so horrible.
my heart goes out to that deer and all other animals that fall victim to the tires of bad and careless drivers and become roadkill, and to that deer for enduring sexual abuse after death.. what's that called?? necrophilia? (something like that.. that girl is a necrophiliac) check this out, some guy did the same thing. i guess having sex with dead deer is some kind of new fad, wonder if paris hilton has tried it out yet.. maybe she started it: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/1116061deer1.h
@burnt reynolds: Okay, you win. LOL!
just guessing, but panty crickets = crabs = pubic lice.
Hannahbelle, you must be a terribly young and innocent little thing.
Johnny dude, IMBD says you been outta work for a while. How's Hollywood treating you?
Personally, I big L love the photo. Deer live in my neck of the woods too, and they look like this far too often.
This ones been there for a day or so though, don't know if I would sit in it. Looks puffy and stiff. Pressure from sitting on it could lead to a bad deflation reaction. Yuck for the girl.
Umm- why are their eyes blacked out?!! Never seen that before.
Johnny- is this really you? Did you submit a pic of yourself claiming it as a find? Seems a little fishy....
Still love the photo. I would totally pose. In fact, it might be my next coffee table book. Me and the dead.
i'm in love with animals said: enduring sexual abuse after death.. what's that called?? necrophilia? (something like that.. that girl is a necrophiliac)
It's called "pyronecrobeastiality", which is where you have sex with a dead animal until it catches on fire. Clearly, she's just getting started.
Is he giving it the finger or is he pantomiming masturbation? Either way, these people are awesome!
all you folks who get up in arms about disrespecting animals n shit need to 1) stop eating meat and 2) stop encroaching on animal's habitats before you can claim an ounce of moral superiority over these two. Insanity.
Perhaps the deer isn't quite dead and the girl is just trying to hold it down.
I was expecting something a little more uplifting today, so I'm disappointed in this picture and these comments to say the least. I also miss Jo, Eggs1234 and Flargy, and unfortunately they seem to have been replaced by the constant obnoxious SALT comments.
Guy: Yeah, man! Rock on! Bastard deer! WOOO!
Girl: Like. This will be so funny!
Deer: I hope this doesn't end up on the internet.
OMG! This is quite possibly the DUMBEST photo I've ever viewed.
This has just been a few minutes of life I will never get back. Gah!
This is just 'all kinds of wrong!'
I don't like this picture. Then again, I get a shiver when I see any roadkill, even if the roadkill doesn't have two people playing with it.
My opinion is that it's in poor taste...only because it's disrespectful to the vessel that once housed a life. Giving it the finger and squatting on it does not seem necessary. I hope that if they were going to fool with it, they also took the time to drag it off the road so it could decompose faster (in the dirt as opposed to non absorbent concrete), thus spreading less disease.
Oh, and yes to being a vegetarian; yes to hating war and killing and violence and excessive materialism, disease and poverty. And stupidity.* I think that about covers it. ;)
*But I don't judge those who think differently than I do. Just so long as they don't kill me, hurt me, give me diseases or make me consume flesh.
Turbo, you're killing me. That was just too damn funny.
Could you imagine passing them while on the highway? Personally, I have no idea what the hell I would do or say.....I think I would just slow down in utter shock then shout some sick profanities, or maybe run them over like the deer......poor deer.
Here I am, Stephanie! I've been very busy the last few days, but now that I'm back at work I have some free time again.
Turbo, did you make that up? If so, you've just coined my favorite word since I discovered "defenestration."
To "i'm in love with animals": You're an idiot. Careless drivers?! Have you ever seen a deer get hit by a vehicle? Have you ever been in the vehicle? One second you're driving along, singing along with the Ramones or Public Enemy or Simon & Garfunkle, and the next minute there's a deer on your hood, headed for the windshield, eyes bugging out of its head and nostrils flaring. They just come out of nowhere.
I don't disagree that there are countless idiots operating vehicles on our nation's roads every day. In fact, I think that pretty much everyone but me is a lousy driver (whereas I'm an excellent driver). However, being a moron behind the wheel has absolutely nothing to do with hitting a deer.
I second every comment about the nastiness of squatting on dead, probably infested animals while wearing short shorts (or skirts). Eww!
I'm not sure how I feel about this photo. At first I was really repulsed. Then I read all the comments and looked at it some more. I think it is gross. I can see how they thought it was humorous, but I'm not really feeling it. Flipping off roadkill seems stupid. But I guess I just had to be there.
I still don't see what that picture has to do with "anti-4th of July". It's kinda non-sequitur.
Isn't this something like how AIDS got started, people please refrain from any sexual advances (and/or) urges towards deer, I know their long legs and mysterious look my be tempting but you may save millions of lives......hummmmm choices, choices.
disgusting
Best. Comments. Ever.
Panty crickets! ahahahahahahahaha!
Lara, I'll bet your life is full of trivial disappointments that you let yourself get caught up in and that are nowhere near as traumatic as what those in Iraq are experiencing. I can't think of anything more disgusting than war, but that doesn't mean people can't give a damn about something else once in awhile.
That being said, I'm no expert on roadkill, but I'm pretty certain this animal was just hit by a vehicle and left on the side of the road. This picture is tacky and gross, but I would say it's just two kids with a disturbing sense of humor.
picture: lol
WOW! I've looked at this site every morning for months and this is the first time I was truely disturbed by what I saw. Ewww!
Wait a minute...don't those two look familiar? Is this what a certain divorcing celebrity couple did on their honeymoon? Doesn't anyone else see the resemblance? The Flip Flops?! The facial hair and 'wife beater' tank top...
Get your kicks on route 666.
I live in the Midwest. Trust me when I tell you, this is what road kill looks like. I’m sure they didn't sacrifice it. Jesus. The shit you people think of. Road kill comes in all different forms. Now if it had been hit by a semi truck...it would be all over everywhere. But this one just jumped out in front of a car. A daily occurrence in the Midwest. Deer are an over populated species. I know that sounds terrible, but it's true. They’re also not very smart. This is why they continue to jump into oncoming traffic. Again, sad...but true.
Also, this picture is disgusting. I’m sure that deer smelled horribly and was covered in flies, beetles and maggots. Those people…are NASTY.
Wow, I can't help but wonder what the conversation leading up to this moment could have been. When did this idea become a "good" idea for these folks?
Oh and Mona Lisa, you aren't really trying to say that canadians as a general rule give thanks to the spirit of every animal they eat, are you? Your comment seemed to imply so. Even having grown up in a hippie mecca as I have...that one is hard to believe.
At first I thought the couple themselves had hit the deer, as that would explain why he is flipping off the deer: he's mad that the deer screwed up his car. But the blood on the road looks pretty old. Sick bastards.
Thanks for coming back Flargy! I like how you have time again-now that you're back at work. Interesting job you must have...
Heheheh, good one!
While this photo was found in some book called "Anti 4th Of July" (the way some of youz complain when they don't name the book, wake up--Anti-4th was the book, not the photo)...where was I?
Oh, yes, this photo is completely Pro-4th of July. See the 4th is all about freedom. It might surprise some of you to know that freedom is not just about the things you approve of, it's also about the things you don't. Taking a silly photo of yourselves with a dead deer on the side of the road is not illegal, only stupid. It doesn't warrant death or torture to the participants, if it did, I don't know what that would be called, but it wouldn't be freedom.
Please remember if we were given the power to kill everybody we thought was stupid, none of us would be here, not even you.
Why did the chicken cross the road?
To show the deer it IS possible.
Deer suck! Think they're all so pretty. They get all active in the evening to eat the grass humans cut along the road and then get in the way. They deserve it.
(Um...translation: I'm pretending to be the the people posing who seem to be acting like what I just wrote. I don't think the posers did any killing.)
Another interesting finder! Seems like there's all sorts of finders who work on documentaries. Makes sense, I suppose.
i love the "the constant obnoxious SALT comments"
Um. Ew. Someone needs to tell that girl that sitting on a carcus in shorts is not sanitary.
God, I wish she'd wipe that awful grin off her face.
girldetective, i did not imply that all canadians thanked the spirits for food they eat. I meant native americans, and native canadians. Probably not too many of them, anymore either. No, us canajuns can be just as crass as ungrateful as you 'mericans. People are people. Most people just take whatever they have for granted.
Rex, about vegetarianism. My kids and hubby are vegetarians. My daughters, i think, because they truly respect life in all of its forms. My husband, i think, just to make things difficult for em. Me... i have no excuse.... people are people. I am I.
Girldetective, I think Mona Lisa meant was that some people known as Native Americans actually descended from people who originally inhabited the land now known as Canada.
It would be kind of cool, however, if every time you flipped to a hockey game being played in Canada, the camera would pan across the crowd, showing scads of our northern neighbors enthusiastically blessing their hot dogs and thanking the animal spirits for giving up their lips and assholes for the sake of such tasty "meat" snacks.
Flargy, I also really enjoy the word "defenestration", as I am in love with the English language. Pyronecrobeastiality is my creation. Use it as you deem fit. It looks really nice if it is written with our old friend's red correcting pen.
that dead deer is likely covered with all kinds of fleas, lice, flies, maybe maggots, bacteria, possibly some yummy fungus; I wonder what kind of surprises are in store for Miss Mini Skirt.
This is distrubing & sadistic!! I was hoping bambi was part of a movie set and the imbeciles were just having fun with the fake deer. But after zooming the picture, it sure does look like dried up blood on the concrete. This pic gives off some real strong emotions. I don't like it.
Who blacked out their eyes? Found? I doubt it.
This ia raunchy and wrong, I LOVE IT!!
I really hope those are shorts. Though I guess if it's a skirt the karma of disrespecting the poor deer would catch up to her sooner than expected.
Poor little guy though, roadkill is so sad. I almost ran over a raccoon with my bike once, but I'm pretty sure if I had hit it I would have been the only one hurt... It was HUGE
terrieissovery, well said!
That is so sicken that am at loss for words!!! =(

HAHAHAHAHA
I want to meet a girl like that.
She is hot, though. I'm not sure why she's hanging out with that dude.
THAT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT OKAY. I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I WANT BAD THINGS TO HAPPEN TO THOSE TWO PEOPLE - THE WORST OF THE WORST. MAY THEY LIVE IN COMPLETE PAIN THEIR ENTIRE LIVES.
What if someone did that to their grandmother? Would it be funny then? What if someone did that to their daughter? Would you all crack jokes?
It's a fucking dead deer and two dickwads are making a joke of it. They stopped their car, got out and had someone take a picture of them being complete fuckfarts.
(Found, this was not a necessary photo to post. I'm sure you had a ton of other reasonable shit to display.)
Good bye. This site is no longer fun.
wow, red. calm the fuck down. the worst of the worst? i think not.
Red, don't go away mad...just go hump yer hat. And have fun trying to get your knickers untwisted - looks like it could be a pretty big job.
I can't wait until the Found guys post something that offends me, so I can have a tantrum of my own and reprimand them as if they made the thing (as opposed to just displaying it on their website).
On an unrelated note: I know a lot of people who post here are also PostSecret fans. Has anyone noticed there were no new secrets posted this Sunday? Anyone know why?
thank god that deer is dead; who knows what she'd catch from that skanky girl.
this whole thing is wrong.
First of all people, it's "Anti Fourth of July." Second, it isn't often that you see people interacting w/ roadkill.
HAHAHA Stef and Lenny, thanks for giving me REAL laugh-out-louds!
Yes, this photo is the absolute perfect example of "you had to be there."
Has anyone seen that antique photo of the well-dressed gentleman sitting on the dead horse that even non-Foundish people and reporters have tried to figure out? He does have long pants on, thank god, and appears very respectable.
Here it is:
http://www.inreview.com/showthread.php?s=0d7a1
Oh, Sorry about that.
The address will still work, tho!
Did anyone ever consider that these two are high or intoxicated as hell?? Cause I know I have done some crazy shit while messed up in the head, but it would have to be some pretty funky stuff to make me become some type of horny taxidermist!
SHES AN EVIL HORNY TAXIDERMIST!!
BEWARE BEWARE!
This made me so sad. Before checking out the find of the day I checked my email. My inbox contained an email from a boyfriend from 7 years ago who said he still thinks of me when he sees dead animals and road kill.
I always stop for dead or hurt animals in the road, and this is what my ex was refering to. I stop and gently move their bodies off the road. I do this even if it's "just a seagull." These people are sick. This picture hurts me. Get ready for this...this is going to sound nasty to some...looks like guantanamo bay pics with animals instead of humans - these people have problems.
YES this is great we need more of this everything is fucked and funny and i feel like pukeing everywhere i go! FEED ME TO THE LIONS MOTHERFUCKERS!
So, at first i thought to myself "self, we is repulsed!" But then I can't help to wonder what the rest of the story is behind this rather unique photograph. Were these two in the car that hit this deer? Did the car careen off of the road and into a tree or off of a cliff? Is this man celebrating the fact that this animal that had jumped out in front of him and his friend?, lover?, wife?, sister?, perished and he lived? Perhaps this couple has a child now in the intensive care unit due to the accident caused by this animal leaping in front of thier auto and this is some way for him to deal with his grief. The fact remains that we don't know and this photo is taken completely out of context. It is foolish of us to judge. I will give it a "hmm, interesting"
If it was still just a little warm they should have fucked it 'til blood squirted out of its' nose. That would teach it to litter the highways and byways of the GREATEST NATION ON EARTH! YeeHah!
Nuke the roadkill!
that's just disgusting. why the hell is the girl sitting on the deer? I hope she gets some type of lyme disease from a tick on that poor dead animal.
"lenny, in far around the bend"... that was great!
On a side note, this picture is just sick. But the just the mere thought of that chick getting panty crickets... makes it not so bad for a few moments. Panty crickets... ha ha ha
May the Fourth be with you.
(But not with the sick freaks in the pic.)
Sorry Kristen, but this IS what America stands for: the privilege to consider some lives expendable. Condemning the photo is pointless, as it may be an ironic comment on that very fact.
Oh my... SO much to say... but FIRST, I too digress.... what the heck happened to PostSecrets this week? Thanks FlarGee... I thought I was crazy (kept checking the date; checking my date)... or maybe they've changed their ways and I didn't 'subscribe' and I'm stuck in yester-year... or .??.. And the comments didn't seem to reflect the what-the-heck happened!?! theme....
And THIS o-so-strange picture.. and the great comments (starting with Sarah)... among many many others... Teresa was it? 'their parents must be proud...see a dead deer and react 'oh! photo opp!!'...
and Mur -- I capital L Love your comment ... "panty crickets" will remain in a lotta people's vocabularies after this day!
Matt -- even the National Anthem has ? marks in it!!
and Mickey B -- I too hope those 2 don't breed!!
Jenny in W-S... I agree 'til we get to the guy's pose... I tho't it looked like a (disgustingly) sexual allusion... kind of like Rex said
Hannah dear -- I hope you never have to experience 'panty crickets'!
And all the peoples who remember what it was like to be young & dumb (& sometimes drunk)...
And D.... the "Director".. a new twist & dimension to this weird photo; thanks
And Turbo... heh heh. I like your coined x-pressions!
I like this lively discussion (sorry to the sensitive ones)....
Oh I could go on and on (oops! I just did!!)
And don't forget folks... sometimes, without Dark Humor, there'd be No Humor at all!!
Some people can be offended so easily. "How dare you sit on that dead deer!" I honestly think it doesn't mind.
Monika -- I don't even think the panty crickets mind!! (eeeeuww)
Flargy, I was wondering the same thing. I keep hitting "refresh," and it's the same Image-of-God woman...
ok, so seeing that my name is pretty bloody and all anyway, I must say to each their own, but I wouldn't be caught dead doing it. I'm afraid of panty crickets.
And Anti-4th of July? What does dead deer have to do with Pro-4th of July? Just makes me think "um?"
And I would imagine the Post Secret guy (Frank?) is on vacation. Lord knows I'd be on vacation...
Happy (anti or pro) fourth of July everybody (even to those not here... light something on fire and eat some bbq...)
or maybe that deer just committed suicide to save itself the annoyance of hearing all of the we are american bullshit you throw out. its just a deer.
Land of the free, and the HOME OF THE BRAVE, INDEED!
Flargy - the comments section in postsecret is gone...and there's still no new secrets. Should we be concerned??
Wow!
I'm pretty sure the female in the picture was trying to perform some deer type of CPR and wasn't even aware of/or didn't care about panty crickets in her attempt to save the deer and the male giving the bird the finger was merely offering something to distract the deer if the CPR measure worked
This is what happens if you mess with roadkill down here:
INJURED KOALA TAKES REVENGE ON DRIVER

CANBERRA (Reuters) - An Australian pensioner was attacked by a dazed and injured koala on Tuesday after he accidentally ran over the cuddly marsupial with his car.
Jack Higgs, 78, received leg wounds as he was trying to rescue the normally docile animal he hit on a highway in the southern mainland state of Victoria.
"He fooled me completely, because just as I approached him and went to grab his back legs to sort of drag him off the road, he turned around and got stuck into me," said Higgs who was recovering in hospital.
The koala, an Australian icon beloved of soft toy manufacturers, is recovering from a ruptured lung at a local veterinary clinic and will probably be returned to the wild following a week at a wildlife sanctuary."
Some people made a forum for people to post their secrets, since the comments on PostSecret were deleted. They were probably suffering from withdraw when they made the forum.

To: "Can U Give A Deer CPR? in Maybe So" Holy shit, i'm still laughing! You rock in so many more ways than one!
I was totally expecting a bunch of incensed, indignant "patriotic" comments and unnecessary, unrelated nonsensical political spiels. Hooboy! This is probably one of the weirdest finds I've ever seen! I think Mike in California put it best. Enjoy the holiday, everyone!
at first glance, i thought the man was urinating on the deer and all that stuff around the poor deer was his pee.
actually you can give cpr to a deer, or at least i know that people have tried. i have a clear memory of a photograph, in my hometown paper, of an emergency worker (policeman? fireman? ems?) trying to resuscitate a deer. this is what passes for front-page, cover-story, above-the-fold news where i come from.
"On an unrelated note: I know a lot of people who post here are also PostSecret fans. Has anyone noticed there were no new secrets posted this Sunday? Anyone know why?"
Flargy, your comment answered my question...I was going to go to postsecret next and check again. I was reading the first 100 comments or so from last week, and I was worried the secrets stopped coming because the peanut gallery ruined the fun and scared Frank from posting new secrets. Everyone wigged out about the cat and the bleach, and, well, it just wasn't any fun.
But then, maybe he's just on vacation.
"Intern", please move to my planet, where every creature is treated with respect. Then we can build a treestand and hunt the vermin who crowd our space. Uh, that would be the stupid humans. They far outnumber the compassionate types. And they're not that difficult to spot.
Re PostSecret Frank..
Hmmm... Maybe we should Ask Jeeves at Ask.com?
Maybe file a Missing (VIP) Persons report?
I *knew* this was where to come to figure out the Myssstery... Can't wait for an answer.
Should we 'pony up' for a reward, to 'find and restore' our PostSecrets host???
I mean, if he's on vacation, he could at least post that - and not keep a secret!! (oh, i just remembered - his address is kind of known; doesn't want thieves to know the house is... empty!)
I never knew there was a comments section on PostSecret. It's probably for the best.
hey, what's the opposite of bad?
i guess if you're reading this, i managed to come up with the right answer.
This helps to explain my desire to be cremated immediately upon death. Just imagine how many polaroids of morticians playing with corpses there must be!
Flargy, I think it was a brand new thing, as far as I remember, and I hope it never comes back.
A deer hit my car and it did cost me money to fix. I think all these hunters around here need to do a better job, with all the deer I see around here. Just yesterday I saw a momma and two fawn off 75 and then a little while later I saw another doe next to the highway. All I could think was please don't run out in front of me again!!!
Flargy - I never noticed the 'comments' part either... I just remembered that sometimes an email is added that starts "dear frank".. I was looking for that, but it's sposed to be card-specific or something.
Let's write to all the posted secrets!!?!! where are you? we miss you????
...The Thot Plickens....
nice
I joined that forum thing. Doesn't seem too bad.
I never knew there was a postsecret discussion area, either. I can't even figure out how to send in a response - you know how he posts responses to the secrets - but I guess that's fine. I'm not surprised people wigged out about the cat and the bleach -- it made me gag a little.
Cat and bleach? It's not like Frank wrote it... he just posted it... It's someone's secret, and that's what he posts! It's kinda like the situation with this photo... Oh well
Flargy and all ye other postsecret fans--rumor has it that Frank is on vacation and hasn't posted secrets this week. Whether that's reliable info or not, I'm not sure.
This is damn funny!
you es ay! you es ay!
Dude... It's only roadkill. The thing got killed by a car and these two fun lovers are just hanging out by it. It probably stinks but if thats their thing then leave them alone. Maybe they took it home and ate it.
If they had their pants around their ankles and were actually urinating on the corpse, it might work. But these folks are wannabes. Their little tableau is embarrassing simply because it is so amateurish and insipid. They *should* cover their eyes.
I'm so glad that I don't have to live in America with fuckwit patriots like Kristen.
Is "sick" the new "creepy"?
Those two should be shot! To desecrate the flag and an innocent animal is "F****D" up!
this makes me hate humans. we're really trashy and offensive. american or not. why do we do things like this? i'm so mad at the two in this picture ... it's the ultimate disrespect.
This is a total setup. Made to infuriate people. I can't be offended because this is what this country is all about. Being free to speak your mind, offend and voicing your opinion.
If this picture was never taken, the world would never know about Panty Crickets.
I wish that we were better known for the good people in our country than these classy individuals.
No wonder people seem to dislike the U.S.
Holy crap!
I was asking for it. Look at the way I was dressed.
i totally was going to come here for the postsecret crisis. i guess when postsecret let's us down, we come to found. i'm glad to see that the same kids that make my days happy here on found are the same kids who secrets make me happy every week. thanks guys!
You're all welcome. Panty crickets, the silent killer.
169 comments! Jesus.
From deerwhistle.com, "The Save-A-Deer deer whistle is an animal alert, deer warning device that aids in accident prevention with animals. Help save human and animal lives through reduced deer and vehicle collisions. Not to mention, you will be able to avoid the severe damage animals can do to your vehicle."
At $5.95 each, for all you who live in deer territory, this is something inexpensive you can at least try.
BTW, just so you know I don't work for deerwhistle.com, deer alerts are also available from the PETA website. But from comments above, I can tell that some posters would rather get panty crickets than log on to peta.
regardless of how seemingly obvious to me it is that this animal has been shot twice...
i am having a serious moment of silence and respect for this pointlessly dead and desicrated soul.
Why? =(
That is hilarious! And I like the idea of being against the 4th of july, even though I celebrate it and actually know what it stands for. It used to be patriotic to be a traitor, back when Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence.
Yeah...this is how I thought it would turn out.
I'm greatly relieved that the finder didn't remove this photo from a cabin's guest book.

I'm greatly relieved that the finder didn't remove the deer.
The deer's legs are standing straight out still. To me, the deer looks fake.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH *breathes* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA. ok. now that I'm done LMAO. 1. Patriotism is so LOLworthy. 2. OMG EW. 3. Deer finder saver thingers DON'T WORK.
That is disgusting! I feel certain that these children (I don't care how old they are) were high.
I hate it when animals get killed in the road. If I'm alone and have time, I stop my car and take a little trash bag out of my trunk and move the smooshed(rabbit, raccoon, squirrel, ect...) to the nearest ditch or grassy area that isn't private property. I feel SORRY for it. These people suck!
this is the one i wish i'd never seen
Lulu/Tx -- forget the "(From deerwhistle.com), "The Save-A-Deer deer whistle is an animal alert,..."
What WE need is panty-cricket-whistles!! (or at least the kids in the picture need 'em)
it's fucked up, we are animals, humans are animals. this place fucking sucks.
"The deer's legs are standing straight out still. To me, the deer looks fake."
Yeah, I noticed that too. Either the deer isn't dead, or it's not real.
Plus, it seems to be bleeding mostly from the head, and yet there doesn't seem to be any visible wounds on the head to warrant that much blood. Something is off here.
"Something is off here" err, ya think?
Everything about this photo is 'off'.
I so agree with Lady Brandy and everyone else who feels sad when they see a dead animal on the road. It makes me want to cry just thinking about it and this picture is horrible! It's not fake either.
I agree w/ Mike in California. This is not necessarily a political statement about America. It's just a really wierd photos w/ some really f'd up people, doing something really gross......And the last time I checked, this is a free country where people can express themselves in any manner they chose. I don't agree w/ them, but if that's how they feel then they have the freedom to express it.
Oh my gosh...deer loving idiots! Let's think about this:
1.) deer have ticks
2.) ticks carry lime disease
3.) if deer population is not controlled then there are a lot of deer everywhere
4.) if deer are everywhere then someone is bound to hit the deer and maybe get killed themselves
There is nothing wrong with hunting deer. I don't think it is necessary to put a deer head on your wall but I do believe in population control for deer. Yes, I know some of you crazy PETA people believe that maybe human population should be controlled but tell that to the thousands of teenage parents who have 4 or more kids. As for me, I value human life over animal life any day. What makes me better than animals...I can reason.
One last comment about this photo:
I believe the deer is real and that the boyfriend hunted it. He seems obviously pleased with himself that he killed it because he is reinacting himself pointing the rifle at the deer. The girlfriend obviously is used to this kind of thing. She may even go hunting herself. There is no wound on this side of the
animal because I believe it was shot on the other end. The blood was not colored black because it is on pavement and will look black because it is in the shade but I see a hint of red where the light hits it.
Yes! This is where it all began! PANTY CRRRICKETTTSSS!!!!!!
Defenestrate those little bastards!
(the quote is from 8:38 Am July 03, 2007, Living in the Real World's comment:)
Something about that phrase, "we harvest our own meat" REALLY bugs me... like they're self-sampling cannibals up there in Northern Michigan or somehing.
The guy looks like a good friend of mine.
who would for sure take a picture like this.
