*In A Weird Sort of Way
So upon one of my many adventures through twitter, I happened to stumble upon this picture. It was posted on Gizmodo (found via japanifyme ) and when I first saw it, I was stunned speechless.
Now, when one sees this photo for the first time I’m sure that there are a range of emotions that overcome you. Unfortunately I don’t have anyone handy so we’re going to have to use me as an example. Now, after I managed to wrap my head around what I was seeing I did the normal WTF. But then I started to look deeper and realized you know what, I have faith in Japan. Now I grant you that normally when you hear the phrase ‘weird porn’ your mind instantly goes to Japan. But this is also the country that brought us wholesome things like Hello Kitty! Surely there must be a more logical explanation for this photo than what it obviously implies! Luckily for you, I happen to be a man with way too much free time on his hands. So now I give to you, my perfectly logical* an explanation or four for what this is actually a photo of:
~ It’s just taken from a weird perspective! It’s actually a perfectly normal sized girl stepping over a miniature train. She just looks weird from that angle.
~ She’s just calling her giant puppy that we can’t see out of frame
~ She’s actually about to sit down and crush the train so it’s ok!
~ The train is carrying her to the giant horse waiting for her
