We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
It's a cute picture of "Spidy" and "Mary Jane." Kind of odd they had it done professionally, but cute nonetheless. I bet they went to a Halloween party afterwards.
It's nice to see that Drew Barrymore has found love again.
Jan, I was thinking the exact same thing.
This is possibly the best, most entertaining photo find I've ever seen.
I bet it's Toby under there, you know how those celeb types are...
What I love is her kissing him... you cant even see his face..but you can feel the love she has for her Spidey Man.
Dudes! Look at his right hand. While she's kissing him, what the *@%^ is he reaching for??!?!
this is really beautifully done. cute!
Another prime example of when love and desperation meet.
I find this picture really creepy.
And what is up with the fourth grade school picture background?
Let me be the first to say it: CREEPY!
it must have been taken at their senior prom. that explains the backdrop. in which case I've got mad respect for their strangeness, though I don't know that I'd ever want to meet them...
i never understood the appeal of comic book characters. this girl apparently does.
Colleen, I agree. Maybe I'm just being cynical this morning and I am quite sure this pic was special and sweet to them, blah blah blah, but... I don't know. Weird.
I see this picture with two back stories:
1) The woman is an elementary school teacher and on Halloween/picture day her boyfriend came to the school and surprised her and her students with a visit from the hero. This picture was snapped to commemorate the moment. Highly unlikely, but cute.
2) Someone is a little too obsessed with spiderman. Possibly two someones. This would be the more likely story.
I think that this picture is cute the way it is, but it would have been even better if Spider Man was upside down and kissing Mary Jane.
Welp, there goes my 16-year streak of nightmare-less nights.
HEY back off where his hand is...thats for only for me to know! and the background was all we could afford then you know i'm a waitress/actress and hes a photographer!
my theory: high school halloween dance. Sometimes they do pictures there, too...
maybe it's a wedding announcement photo for a couple with a good sense of humor.
I bet there's a comment on the back:
"I love you Mary Jane! <3
xoxo
Peter 'Spiderman' Parker"
hahaahashhashashs. that's ridiculous
If this weren't such an amateurish photo I'd bet money that is Drew Barrymore. Creepy indeed...
Hey, that's my boyfriend!
His Spidey-Sense is tingling...there's a villain hiding in her pants.
I think this is my ex-boyfriend. Minus the freakish Spiderman get-up, every time I leaned over just a little bit, he was there to fake-bugger me in the hoo-ha.
We had a "Meet Spiderman" event at our Wal-mart recently. The pictures were free and they were taken with the photolab's backdrop. I wouldn't be surprised if this was a similar event at a different store.
when i first looked at it i though the spidey was fake which makes it funny
then i read the comments and scrolled back up. now i'm not so sure and sufficiently creeped out.
(it could be a joke for a senior picture???)
....must...maintain...cynicism....Must...not...fall
i agree with samba, i was going to say the same thing, it looks like spiderman was edited in there!
Maybe her parents are avowed racists and her boyfriend is an avowed black man, and as such, he wears his Spiderman costume at all times to avoid any potential conflict.
i think she pressured him to have their photo taken or she wouldn't marry him, but he's cheating on someone else with her and didnt want his other lover(s) to ever find out. or something ;) long shot i know :P
When I saw it, I thought maybe it was at a sci-fi convention. People dress up there (I've heard. I'm not so geeky I'd go! Actually I'm just not so rich) and I'd imagine that they would have professional school-type photographers set up to take pictures of all the people in costume. That would be a fun gig, if true. Especially compared to taking pictures of snotty-nosed grade twos.

This is sweet - I bet someone is disappointed that it's lost. It's cute.
Can't afford a decent backdrop, but can afford to photoshop in Spidey? I think not.
this is severely sketchy
i wonder what the photographer was thinking...
Oh Flargy, you always have such insightful, yet cheery things to say.
This find goes out to Mr. Mike H. and his undying love for ~most~ things Marvel!
Amanda... you don't always have to buy photoshop...
I love spidey too, in fact any superhero is crush-able. I did marry Mr. Incredible after all.
this is severely sketchy
i wonder what the photographer was thinking...
is that spiderman costume home-made? people put a lot of work into their obsessions.
It looks like an OK photoshop job
I don't get it ... what's supposed to be photoshopped here? Looks like a school/studio photo with either her boyfriend (or girlfriend!) dressed in a Spider-man costume OR just a Spider-man dummy that she's kissing on.
Great find!
look hes grabbing her crotch. lol that makes the creepyness even more.
Okay, I find this picture EXTREMELY creepy. Like, EXTREMELY! He looks so stiff and disconnected from her, and she's clutching his arm to her and kissing him...it's like she dragged her bf to the photoshoot and he is totally uncomfortable...
Although I like Hope's idea of it being at Wal-Mart, and this creepy Drew Barrymore lookalike and a perfect stranger in a mask both mutually sexually assaulting one another.
Yes, Spidey is grabbing Drew's crotch. That's why she's kissing him.
damn that girl is beautiful
It's not creepy - the girl is smiling. I would find it "creepy" if spiderman was lurking in the background unnoticed, or something. Why does everyone's spidey sense about "creepiness" seem to be tingling out of control these days. Chill.
For my highschool grad photos there was a couples section they put in the yearbook (stupid idea seeing as most of those couples will probably break up and look at that photo in their yearbook and just get annoyed)
But maybe this is one of those. You get some pretty crazy stuff, i know one of my buddies and his boyfriend at the time dressed up as Rocky and Bullwinkle...never thought to ask why they had the costumes..
I think it's adorable... although that guy had to go out a buy a Spiderman costume, which can't be cheap, so he's a little bit obsessed. Somehow I find Trekkies even more creepy.
Hey!
Let's just hope she has an incredibly long torso, and Spiderman isn't actually reaching what we all think he's reaching for.
this creeps me out =/
oh, nerd love. Wonderful. :)
I wish our highschool photographer let us get away with stuff like this. It would have been Awesome!
Nothing sketchy about it, Jo's right, thats a good old-fashioned Hoo Ha
Spidey has some damn big hands. I bet he stuffs.
I hope she doesn't fall for his web of lies.
(I had to).
As soon as I saw this pic, I began eagerly anticipating all the people calling it creepy! 6, and one of them EXTREME! That's the best in a long time. Brav-O.
I'm gonna go with Flargy's interpretation. I like it best. :)

Where?
:-))
AHH! I love this find; it's one of the best ones yet!
he seems out of proportion and stiff- i think its a department store dummy, but i had to stop and read the comments because i thought it was drew barrymore too.
haha.. you can actually see spidey smiling.. i dunno what these people were thinking
That ain't no dummy, look, he's got a smile on his face under there. On the other hand he can't see a lot through those fake eyes, so it's probably not his fault that he's just grabbing what comes to hand, tee hee.
this one is har-larious for sure, and I suppose I would have to lean more towards creepy than cute.
As far as origins, I'm going to have to agree with Hope. Most box stores have "photography studios" that offer packages for five to ten bucks. Before I even read the comments I was reminded of last Christmas when one of my friends called me and said that she had bought a package for $9 while grocery shopping at Meijer (in Michigan they are like Wal-mart without the evil) and invited me to join her photo session. We dressed up like cowgirls and acted really filthy the whole time we were there. It was cheap fun, but I suspect anyone who came across one of our pics on the sidewalk would find it a little creepy too.
So funny. It's as if it was "meet spiderman" day and the girl knew the man behind the mask was here crush or maybe boyfriend so decided to take the photo while he was hard at work. Otherwise why such professionalism? Eh?
Jo...fake bugger you in the hoo-ha? I don't want to be a grammar nazi...but I always capitalize my HOO-HA.
Spidey is smiling. I always capitalize my HOO_HA too, and the rest of you are judgmental bitches!
This is a board with a hole cut in it. It has a fake left arm from elbow down and you lean through and someone can snap your picture.. Hello everyone!!!!! Wake the (*&*&&^ Up already.
i took one look at this and started laughing...it was just such an odd and delightful surprise
could it not be one of those thing where you pose with a character at like a theme park or something (obviously it would be more professional) but you know what i mean...
I firmly beleive that this is a dummy head and arms. She is holding "Spidey's" left arm to make it seem more natural, but the right arm hanging free is obviously fake. No one holds their hand in that position when posing with someone.
Wendy in Austin is right, that's not a real spiderman. Flargy not interesting anymore.
Upon further inspection, maybe she is giving him a small, comforting kiss after dragging his ass out of an apartment fire. HOO-HA!!!!!
That lucky bitch!
spider man is hot!
His costume is crotchless.
i want Spiderman to be my Boyfriend!
At Universal Studios in Orlando, once or twice a day, Spiderman appears in a store where you can go to have your picture taken with him. I have several pictures of my son with Spiderman from the 2 years we went there. The background is the same.
I am a bit alarmed at how Spidey's hand seems to be creeping down her. I'm hoping they know each other out of costume. Her Spidey-sense will be tingling!
My boyfriend is a costume designer. We were at a portrait studio documenting his work. Yes the background is corny, but the picture was not posed. I was helping him with his various costumes and the photographer suggested we take a picture. And his hand is not reaching for anything! His mom was there!
hahahaha, kristy, stop picking stuff up off the ground girl! i guess miriam could stop throwing stuff on the ground for that matter! hooray for found magazine!
'That's me', if that's really you, I would like to congratulate your costume-designer boyfriend on his fantastic taste in women!
hey kristie, that's funny!
