WTF Are People Saying
Charlie D on Can You Herp With All the Colo… Hoff on Nimoy Baggins Herp on Sexy Kitty Tubtimes Herp on Scariest Game Show Ever! Herp on Diving In The Forest
FIRST!
i wonder what the story was behind this picture…
its the famous WTF picture of all time
Isn’t this on a antimotivational poster? I wish I could remember the caption…
Mitaclorians won’t fish themselves!
Well the pitcher is a brita filtration type. He’s trying to convert salt water to drinking water. But the funny part is that darth vader can’t drink water. Or can he? And then the picture was overanalyzed and no longer funny. Thanks for making me think Solway.
It makes perfect sense. This is Lord Helmet from Spaceballs after they crawled out of Mega Maid’s nose. He’s getting fresh water for him, Skroob, and Sanders.
And yes, Helmet can drink water. It goes throguh the vent holes in the front of his helmet, and makes a delightful little bubbling sound.
ooooookaaaaaay. WTFed.
AHAHAHAA
Somehow, the thing I love most about this picture is that Vader is pouring from a filtered jug.
Ah, good, someone found a higher res picture. I sent this one in a while ago, but it was lowish rez, and it had the inspirational poster border and text.
is he using the Force? if not, he should.
Does forcing water through a filter count?
I think Darth Vader is causing global warming by warming the sea water in a tea kettle. What a bastard !!! :/
Fun times………i’m there.
I find your lack of filters disturbing!
@Pablo5
umm there is no tea kettle…you u need to look again
That’s a blender, not a kettle. Now, what is he blending? Water and ermmm,… something else? Any ideas?
The Force may be strong with this one, but the intelligence sure is not.
@master baiter
not a blender, brita water filtration pitcher
And the moral of the story is… if you’re going to hold your Star Wars conventions at a coastal resort, do make sure you price your mineral water remotely realistically…
Chad Vader must be restocking the bottled water.
I actually know the guy who took this picture, It was fo an art project, I actually have a copy of this picture.
@master baiter
You scrufy nerf-herder. Thats a water filter, an electric blender in water would produce bad results
omg i try to say its not a kettle and a guy proves me wrong by saying its something completely wrong…wow…fail buddy…
You know, funnily enough this was explained to me yesterday during a seminar (at least I assume the artist up the front knew what he was talking about). He was pretty specific about the name of the person and the location, but then again maybe he just felt the picture illustrated his point and made up a story to give it weight.
He explained it as a performance piece about futility, along the line of what Sandraberry mentioned. The futility of filtering the Black Sea with a single brita filter jug, he didn’t say anything about what Darth Vader had to do with it though… so who knows how that ties in. I’m not an artist so I’m not going to bother analysing that part ^^
I’m wondering now, can those Brita water filter jugs actually filter sea water free of all salts?
That would be cool – I’d go and try, but the only Brita Filter I have at hand is not mine, and no doubt even if it did filter out all the salt, it would kill the filter thing inside I think XD
darth would get a stomachache from that.. . if he still has one;
@25: I imagine it could, but if you worked it that hard it probably wouldn’t last very long. The filters get worn out in time because they have to absorb all the stuff that doesn’t go through.
@Naktarr
Brita filters use charcoal to filter the water, gets a lot of stuff but not Na+ or Cl-. If it did potable water would be as easy as running sea water (got a lot of that) through charcoal (got a lot of that too). Make some salt water and put it through your friend’s brita, it won’t hurt it. Sorry for talking serious.
@Black Label
Thanks ^^ I wasn’t sure what kind of filter it was, there is one type of stone filter that removes salts I know that – okay that’s enough of that discussion!
I hope they could get all the salt marks out of Vader’s outfit, especially if the gloves were leather.
I think symbolically the water is there to represent our fresh water reserves, unlimited amounts of it. Darth Vader represents commercial enterprise, taking from this vast resources, putting it through a tiny filter and then selling it back to us in a little tiny bottle. It is meant to summon up the bottled water industry.
Let’s just focus on the WTF-ness of this picture and protect our brains, okay?
That’s Jeff Vader, it is! He’s having the penne al arabia. He does NOT need a tray.
Darth Vader relaxes at the Death Spa
That could be a lake…
@DrCherry
No, its deffinately Darth Vader. I don’t even know if there is a Darth Lake…
its the artist DANIEL BOZHKOV (sp?).
Just try to get the salt stains out of the cape afterward.
@stcukinthedesert
Where these filters cleaned in an ocean? why with the power of the death star do we not have a filter that is clean!

More of Bozhkov’s work here (Larry King crop pattern, etc.)
what are you talking about? this makes perfect sense!
Absolutely anything done in a Darth Vader costume is hilarious.
ANYTHING.
he can kill you without a tray!
(no wonder they’re all wet, they were dried in the ocean, not a rain forest!)
“Darth Vader Tries to Clean the Black Sea With Brita Filter” 2000
C-print mounted on aluminum, Ed. of 5
50 X 35 1/2 inches
This actually makes more sense than the usual flecks-of-paint-thrown-at-a-canvas nonsense.
I like a’ porno!
Luke, join the sparkling side of the Force!
I’ll never join you!
LOL, Luke Stillwater!
actually this foto makes perfect sense.awesome
@Starlogic
actually?
If anyone heard the origins of this DIRECTLY from the artist, do you remember his name? I heard a vague rumor that it was at least partially the fault of one Jason Hoelsher. Can anyone else confirm this for me? If so…I had him as a professor once and this photo explains so very much XP

How much salt could a sith sift if a sith could sift salt?
would that be drinkable IRL? lol
It’s been hard on poor Darth Vader ever since the Galactic Empire fell.
