Some of this German photographer's pictures may have been posted here before. A friend sent me a whole bunch.

Now we know what it would be like having Steve Irwin as a father.

I know that stuff is faked and photo shopped (I hope all of it.) but there are IQ challenged types out there who would try to duplicate that stuff for real.

Here in CA the Child Protective Services people would do their best to get him put on death row if it it was for real, and I would have a hard time not cheering them on. And I don't like CPS much, once 22 years ago when our special needs boy was 6 we were at the county offices when a train whistled for the crossing next to the building - he LOVES trains and was already stressed being in the waiting room so long. He started screaming to see the train so I ran over snatched him up and ran outside in time for him to see the train go past - someone called CPS and they showed up at the house that afternoon. I explained it and Jon popped up with "Dad was getting me out to see the train!" with a big grin on his face and "He's a good Daddy, he takes me to see trains." They reluctantly cleared me of abuse but still wrote up a "warning". I haven't been a fan ever since, though I know they also do good work, sometimes.

My son-in-law and I put my grand-daughter in a wok and took a photo of her at 7 days. When mom got up from her nap, we got hell! (And the wok wasn't even in the kitchen!)

Photoshop is a very powerful tool.

I suspect most of these are cleverly photoshopped. I Remember that the Michael Jackson balcony photos were definitely real, if you want to talk about idiotic let’s start there.

I received all of these about a week ago from a friend in the UK. It was titled, 'Adventures with Dad'.
Explanation was as follows.

A graphic artist living in Germany works from home.
His wife leaves their baby with him each day as she goes off to work.
A few months ago, she drove him crazy texting him to check on how he was doing with the baby.
So, for revenge, he started photo-shopping responses to text back to her.
It has become a worldwide Instagram sensation.
