Try about 10 years… I remember that picture from a humor section of a web forum I used to regularly read. and that was 1999 to 2001, till when the forum died.
I Never normally comment, but this is SHOCKING and wrong, with the little girl touching daddies….Now i need a dose of Megan Fox to get this Sick photo out of my head.
No this is not shocking, just harmless fun. Crikes, they’re not naked – its also a good way to bring up the subject of the birds and the bees.
What’s shocking is the negative attitude to this kind of stuff. All those who find it shocking and/or weird need to go back to school and grow up.
*LMFHO* I laughed out loud and woke everyone up…
Seriously, throw their wooly asses in the warm water wash. They’ll be the size of Barbie and Ken when they come out.
Oh, and Daddy O was quite generous to himself when he knit his suit wasn’t he? I think he knit Momma’s boobies too.
No there shouldn’t be a law against that. What next? A law against grabbing a furrys’ tail or mane?
FYI, she’s not grabbing his package, just an appendage external to the suit. It’s just your dirty imagination that’s telling you she grabbed his package.
It starts getting weirder when you consider that someone had to buy the materials and stitch these outfits together. What kind of person would spend time on that endeavor? “Hey honey, it’s dinner time” “Be right there, I’m still sewing the ball sack onto the porn suit.” “Well, make sure you wash your hands after.”
@TJ
Something similar on failblog, but not this specifically. There was an asian girl in a suit like this with a penis, with a smug look on her face, awfully creepy…
@Hellbound Alleee
I agree, people are over reacting. The little girl isn’t touching a REAL penis and none of them are actually naked. Nothing about this is illegal, it’s just….really wtf.
While I agree that she isn’t touching anything real, so theres no reason to call CPS, if you think about it, this little, ahem, incident could cause major problems.
If the parents let the little girl touch said part, then she may get the idea that it’s ok to touch “those” parts. Which could, in turn, lead to a very akward/bad situation
But this is most definatly WTF for sure!
Children should be programmed in an isolated community to be fully functional citizens. Only thus can we avoid our humane errors and flaws get in the way of the future society of tomorrow.
I agree, people here should calm down.
First, no, there’s no law against this. Children are not forbidden to touch fake penises. It’s not even forbidden to allow them to see real ones, since naturism is not illegal…
Secondly, no, the girl won’t be traumatised by this, and has no destiny in the porn industry.
Generally speaking, in countries where religion is separated from the state, what is forbidden is sexual contact or representations with children. Real nudity, representations of nudity, or contact with genitals in a non-sexual way is not illegal.
I’ve seen pictures from this series of images posted on a thousand blogs, all with the same strings of hysterical “WTF” comments, but I’ve never even ONCE seen the images attributed to the actual artist who made the suits.
Her name is Ana Maltz, and among other things, that set of suits is actually ABOUT the very prudishness & absolute squeamishness around NATURAL HUMAN NUDITY that always seems to be on display in these little ZOMG-fests you lot like to throw…
Seriously? We need to grow up? this is ok? This is art? Society needs moar knitted birthday suit peado BS?
Personally I believe the purpose of conceptual art like this is to check and see if people are still cringing at the sight of it or if we need to be put down as a species.
OMG WTF!!! doesn’t even cover it.
why are their ankles so thin?
they’re definitely related, they all have small feet, and a blurry aura around their skin.
kinda expecting a grinning E.T. to walk up to them, smoking a fat blunt.
Honestly, the photo would be hilarious (in the fucking with the idea of covering ourselves to hide the naked form kind of way) if that little girl wasn’t gently cupping her dad’s furry shaft….
The sad thing is, Anna Maltz probably got a grant from the NEA. In other words, our tax dollars paid for this “art”. The woman looks a lot like Mariska Hargitay! Eww.
@Dana
Actually, no, the sad thing is all you Broken Internet Children spending so much time on 4chan that you’ve warped your perceptions into seeing everything as kiddie-porn.
Plus, if I recall correctly, Anna Maltz actually did those suits while she was still in school, and bought all the materials with her own money.
So don’t worry: Your parent’s taxes aren’t paying for things that scare you, like, um, “art.”
@Dana
It still isn’t as disturbing as an “art project” featuring pictures of a guy shitting into a jar. Art is subjective, but damn, that was some fucked-up stuff!
@Ohlol
Not a US citizen? Citizen of where? Germany? France? Netherlands? Italy? Or some other country that the army has liberated from oppression in the last century? It’s OK. If some dictator rolls you up in the next century, I’m sure we’ll bail you out again.
Wow. I have an American flag, an apple pie, a noose, a “We don’t like gays, they are destroying the American family/ homosexuality is ok…only if the two girls are hot” bumper sticker, a cross, a bible to shove down in someone’s face, a Hummer/SUV, and a “America for Americans” t-shirt for you. I think all of that will match your hate and loathing very well.
Dude, that ain’t sex education class. That’s a completely different situation. If my daughter’s sex-ed teacher came into school wearing a fake penis and said to her, “Here, check this out. See what it feels like,” I’d put her in a different sex-ed class and have some harsh words for the teacher. I would, by the way, put my daughter in a sex-ed class at that age. I’m no prude, I just believe there’s a line that shouldn’t be crossed.
And if you don’t think the man, woman, and two children in this photo are mean to represent a family, I strongly believe you’re misinterpreting the image. Think what you want, but if an artist shows us a man, a woman, a young boy, and a young girl, all standing together in a posed photo, I’m pretty sure we’re not supposed to think they’re a group of strangers.
I will allow for one possible scenario that would make this photo okay: The four actors are posing for the pic, standing straight and looking into the camera. Then the little girl turns around of her own accord and grabs the male actors fake penis, saying, “Hey, what’s this?” The man is slightly embarrassed and responds along the lines of, “Oh, you probably shouldn’t touch that,” which explains the smile on his face. If that’s what happened here, then it’s just a humorous outtake from the photo shoot. But if this was the intended image and the photographer said, “Okay, little girl, now take the man’s penis in your hand,” then it crosses a line that I personally believe shouldn’t be crossed.
So those are my feelings on this photo in as much detail as I can express them. I’m not being reactionary and I’m certainly not going to rail against the NEA—tax dollars should support art and culture as much as they support anything else.
@The What Now?
They’re probably a family, I’ve seen a short film about the artist that showed her making another family pose. Fun fact was that the editor blurred the suits. But anyway that was not my point, I don’t think the link between these people matter.
My point is that nothing sexual is occurring in this pic. And also that the woolen penis is not evil, it doesn’t corrupt any who touches it – and I do think that insinuating that it does is to give way to a effectively reactionnary idea about sexuality and about what can it be associated with, and that your beliefs are not personnal ones (as if such things could be personnal) but a christian hangover.
Children are curious about what is usually hidden and I suppose the kid wasn’t told to touch it. But even if that was the case, it wouldn’t be of any consequence.
@Dana
I’m from a country that used its ICBM, aircraft carriers, submarines, jet fighters and bombers to fight its own dictators in the last century. Oh wait, no, in fact all those were never used.
@Ohlol I agree, completely. Nudity =/= sexuality or sex. The end.
@Dana: You *do* realize that America hasn’t actually fought in every war in every country that ever was, single handedly saving the populace from “evil” Ultimate Showdown-style, right? Right?!? (*please* say yes)
Honestly, if Bush *needed* to fight a war with a country that Bin Laden *wasn’t* hiding in, he should’ve sent troops to Darfur to stop the genocide still taking place. But I guess all those refugees needed to have some oil fields before America would save them, huh?
I find the conclusions you are jumping to very interesting. First off, I’m not Christian. I’m not even religious. People are able to have personal beliefs that are not molded by a religious philosophy. That being said, I still hold that if this photo was directed to be a shot of a little girl holding a man’s penis, it’s messed up. However, I do not believe that’s what it was. Children are, as you point out, extremely curious about such things. I know, I have two kids. The thing is dangling there at eye level, the kid probably just saw it and decided to see what it felt like. This is not a sexual photograph. More than anything, it’s kind of silly. Did I have a knee-jerk reaction it it when I first saw it? Yes. Probably based on overprotectiveness of my own daughter. Did you have a knee-jerk reaction to my comments? Yes. Probably based on pre-existing notions of Americans and Christianity. By the way, I want you to know there is not animosity in my comments to you. I’ve actually found this a rather lively discussion.

Ahem … sounds like it … Just don’t take it so personal, ‘K? Thanks! Jesus love you
That’s Sexy. The little girl is acctually fondling her dad under the suit. She is gonna be a prosititue when she is older. That picture can make some one very horny.
-That such costumes exist in family edition for entire families
-that they sell
-That people wear them outdoors
-The father/daughter action going on there
So if the man “pretends” to finger the little girl, it’s OK, right, but cause he’s not really doing it. And if he “pretends” f*ck the little girl, it’s ok because he’s not really doing it, right?
Y’know, as a citizen of a country (Canada) that fought in two World Wars at the beginning and not just when it became clear who the winner was, I get a little tired of the USA acting like they single handedly won either of those wars. As for all the “dictators” the US government got rid of in South America, ask a Chilean how they felt about being “liberated” by Pinochet. I for one hope never to be “liberated” of my oil, or water, by my southerly neighbour.
@The What Now?
There’s no one here playing with genitals. The father is wearing a full-body-coverage suit. The child is playing with some interesting bits of that suit (and, incidentally, they are the easy part for her to get to; could have something to do with it). I agree this is totally (as someone above put it) W. T. F. But not illegal. After watching a video of another family, I’m thinking the kids will have a good laugh about this as well as their parents.
@Guy Smiley
You make an excellent point, I agree. There is nothing good about a little girl touching her dad’s genitalia or vice-versa, whether its fake or real.
Although I agree that children have to learn about sex sometime, this is certainly not the way to go about it. The daughter touching the fake penis just makes it harder to look at. *shudder*
This makes me laugh because people find nothing wrong with a little girl in this situation.
And it’s not even terrible that a little girl is curiously touching something hanging off her dad’s clothes as she probably doesn’t even know what it is. What’s really wrong with this picture is that the dad looks like he actually likes it.
(GOOD message) Hopefully there being raised no’ing good and proper sex,(good birds and bees) and maybe the GLP won’t get their hooks into them like they’ve done everywhere else.Oh yea,their actors,sorry,God I love the 1st amendment–
I you people used your brain, youd find the tre meaning of these clothes. It shows your not to be afraid of who you are. I, for one, really think these are interesting.
I laughed when I saw this and went and checked out the video http://www.videosift.com/video/Hand-Knit-Naked-Suits-Make-Great-Family-Photos
and I smiled at the sweet innocence and the quirky humour of this entire concept. This isn’t sexual .We come from a culture that is clothed and so this seems really shocking to some of you .Obviously in reality you can’t have a child touching an adults penis in a significant way BUT I think this was just a moment of curiosity and rather insignificant . A knitted penis at eye level invites investigation and It isn’t the same as the real thing.
All of the oh too serious replies ruined the funny. I guess as an artist I understand the context. A couple of people got it as well. The little girl proboably wondered what the fake peins was because none of any other pair of pants she has seen had that sewn to the front. Curiousity nothing more. If she would’ve been close to the mommy she proboably would’ve touched the bush. Kids are curious, and when something looks odd or out of place they investigate it.
Wow, there are a lot of really prude people out there!
It’s no wonder the world is so screwed up these days!
It’s not like anyone is really naked here for crying out loud.
But what will become of those of us with a very delicate balance of mind when such depictions are viewed? We who teeter on “the edge” may succumb to even more perverse impulses than we see here. No judgement, folks, just a suggestion to consider the impact possible.
Art should be beautiful and uplifting to the soul. This is just disgusting hydrophilic crap, not art in any sense of the word. The only one who’d see this as art and think there was nothing wrong with it is Roman Polanski.
Depending on ones upbringing it seems difficult for some people to cope with the own human physical identity. But it’s the intention that counts, not the surface. On my opinion this art photography tries to explain in a disguised way, that there can be an innocent look at things, apart from the cases of abuse we are confronted in media. A superficial perspective is contraproductive, as it deflects the attention from the essential problems. That’s also the reason, why people are judged for their gender, body shape, richness, disabilites or talents, age or ethnicity.
Um… While I don’t see what the little girl( the “daughter”) is doing as sexual, it seems inappropriate for someone her age. It’s like if the boy was to grab the “mother’s” chest or crotch. I think the “parent” simply telling the child that she shouldn’t be touching that is what should be done and that would be the end of it.
Without context behind this photo, it could easily be taken sexually. I don’t think these are intended as “educational”, because in an educational setting, they would not have the daughter/young girl touching the father/adults penis. And… as far as art goes… I guess everything is art, depending on the interpretation. They remind me of dolls that they use in child molestation cases though.
Here is my issue… anyone notice that mom has gigantic breasts and dad is packing major heat? Apparently this is a family of furry little porn stars, or simply wishful thinking transplanted onto felt…
what’s the big deal, you can tell by the girl’s grip this isn’t her first rodeo, and there is nothing that actually claims any of the people in the video are lineal descendants, i would even go so far as to argue that perhaps the smaller two persons suffer from the same condition os emanuel lewis and are actually adults…nothing to see here.
Wow, to the people who are extremely offended or recommend jail time for the parents in this picture your narrow minds are a lot more scary than the ppl in the pic!!!
It’s pretty clear that the boy and father think this is amusing and the girl is just being curious.
Anyone not ashamed of their body will not be afraid to walk naked in their home, or from the shower to bedroom…kids are curious and will ask questions or point at your junk when coming out of the shower and ask what’s that, so what, we all have the same parts and no need to grow up sexually repressed.
Oh yeah this pic is WTF but nothing illegal or so extremely disturbing.
OK, quit reading the comments about halfway down, due to outrage at widespread stupidity. And only two particular offenses stuck out enough to warrant a response.
1. No, Christianity generally does not “prohibit sex education or thinking”. Not sure where you learned that. A Dawkins book? You’ve clearly had very little experience with actual Christianity. Truth be told there ARE some fringe sects that have a problem with asking questions, but you have assholes like that in every school of thought. The point is, you’ve got a rather screwed up and bass-ackwards idea of what Christianity is. Bet you can’t even tell me how many animals the apostle Paul put on the Ark of the Covenant.
(protip: it’s a trick question. but you knew that. sure ya’ did.)
2. Yeah, actually, what my tax dollars do IS highly relevant. I worked hard to earn them. I worked hard to keep as many of them from being unjustly robbed IMEAN uhm shit uhm duly collected from me, they represent my hard work. When they get granted to artists, it pisses me off – if I wanted to give artists money, I would buy art. Which, you know, I would but the government keeps taking all my money away. To give to the artists THEY choose, rather than myself. Huh. Makes a lot of sense. Glad to know she did NOT get an NEA grant. Don’t like government art. Don’t much like THIS art either, but that’s neither here nor there.
tl;dr Dawkins, Hitchens et al. don’t really have a clue, also IRS = FAIL.
I have to admit that I find this disturbing and sick as well, and that so many think it is ok just show how decadant Europe is. I am not American, and I am not Christian. But I have values and this is not right. While my family all think America is moraly bankrupt I now can point to here and say Europens are even more moraly bankrupt.
ok so in the video that “truthseeker” posted above the lady mentioned that when people wear the suits others come up and want to feel them. so sometimes people will feel the womens breast and forget that they are groping the actual woman underneath it. so from this it is my understanding the the little girl IS groping the “fathers” penis. am i wrong or not?
soo this is art?? ookay…. and as far as the little girl is concerned.. so what.. shit happens.. i myself am a mother and my daughter once grabbed her dad’s junk… we simply told her to not touch it. no big deal… kids are naturally curious and don’t think like we do… they don’t think ” omg its a penis” they think more along the lines of ” what is that ?”
There is SO much wrong with all you lot being offended by this innocent picture. What a bunch of sad, repressed, god-bothering twats you are! Silly numpties!!
1. They are not naked.
2. The funny and/or jiggly bits are fake.
3. Under the fake body suits, they are each wearing at least one or two layers of clothing.
Wake up! Will you “listen” to yourselves! You lot are beggining to sound like the Taleban!
Seriously, it’s just a suit. The penis thing is really WTF, but it doesn’t seem that bad to me. I seriously doubt any real mother would let her kid grab her husband’s junk for real. It’s bizzare, yes, but hardly illegal.
It’s similar to having a little kid play with the lapels on her daddy’s suit because they’re weird-looking. You people need to lighten up and stop acting like the world is RAEP because of the internet. Seriously.
There is SO much wrong with this!
oh… dear lord O_o
Hey, kids gotta learn sometime.
dude… this is f**ked up. the girl is stroking the dad!
this is the Amish way to teach kids about the birds and the bees
Those are not Amish. They don’t have gardens like that.
Wasn’t one of these used by the title character in Brüno?
…in the future… I see… THERAPY!
It looks like the little girl is staring into her magic ball…
WHY
EXACTLY. >.<
I’m sad that you took four months to post my submission and that you put someone else’s name on it as the submitter.
@Schlake This photo has been on the internet for well over 4 years, I’m sure you were not the only one submitting this.
Try about 10 years… I remember that picture from a humor section of a web forum I used to regularly read. and that was 1999 to 2001, till when the forum died.
A family that plays together, stays together!
OMG its the Aristocrats!!!!!!!!!!
@raznarukus
OMG it soo true lol
Hey, full-body merkins are making a comeback!
where the fuck is this??
Words…. fail….me…. holy crap!
… why are they so fluffy?
There’s something very, very wrong with this family.
Costume outtakes from Jim Carrey’s The Grinch Grows Up??? It’s like H. R. Puffinstuff disturbing.
This lot’s kids should have a sleepover with the Hitler doll girl.
You mean those ones that came with the crochet cookies?
This is probably the first time I’m actually floored by this site… totally WTF.
@clara agree!!!!! i have never been at such a loss lol
furries doing it wrong
I recently saw a video clip of this photographer somewhere. She comes around with this hand-knit naked outfits and then does family portraits:
http://www.videosift.com/video/Hand-Knit-Naked-Suits-Make-Great-Family-Photos
I don’t think it is bad.
HUH are u for real????? look at this photo!
OMG this is so WTF?! i agree with @Clara. also, lolz thats my name
I find it hillarious that they felt a need to blur out bits in the video clip.
yep… yeah… thats pretty disturbing!
what is the origin of this photo??
@S.
There’s a video clip of this crap? Ugh. This is why furries should not be allowed to procreate.
How are they furries when the suits are clearly meant to look human?
A fursuit has to look like an animal for it to be a fursuit. -_-
so Humans are not animals? is that what you are saying?
OLD
I Never normally comment, but this is SHOCKING and wrong, with the little girl touching daddies….Now i need a dose of Megan Fox to get this Sick photo out of my head.
No this is not shocking, just harmless fun. Crikes, they’re not naked – its also a good way to bring up the subject of the birds and the bees.

*LMFHO* I laughed out loud and woke everyone up…
Seriously, throw their wooly asses in the warm water wash. They’ll be the size of Barbie and Ken when they come out.
Oh, and Daddy O was quite generous to himself when he knit his suit wasn’t he? I think he knit Momma’s boobies too.
forward this to CPS, quick!
Isn’t this a repost? Or maybe I saw it on failblog…
OMFG !!!
The mom’s kind of hot…
i was thinking wintery nudist colony…
@AnnaRexia
Those are not furries. This is more of naturist thing.
BTW, the FBI is on their way. Have a seat over there.
so wrong so unbelievably wrong.
Holy shit ! BUT still awesome.
Holy shit.
thank you, i am so glad that i am not the only person that thought, “winter wear for nudists, maybe?”
Nudists in winter!!
But that is so gross…
look at how small the boys penis is!
@Nene
Yeah, I can tell the little girl is touching daddy’s penis in a real professional way.
The little girl is grabbing her dad’s package. Isn’t there a law against that … even if the package is made of felt?
No there shouldn’t be a law against that. What next? A law against grabbing a furrys’ tail or mane?
FYI, she’s not grabbing his package, just an appendage external to the suit. It’s just your dirty imagination that’s telling you she grabbed his package.
So that’s where that photo turned up. I’ve been looking for it everywhere.
Father will be pleased…
K I’ve seen a lot of WTF in my life, but my jaw actually dropped on this one. W. T. F. indeed.
Update already, damn you!
Ah, I remember these characters on Sesame Street. They were great!
holy shit this is fucking disgusting
This poor little girl is now destin to a life in the porn industry. Tragic.
It starts getting weirder when you consider that someone had to buy the materials and stitch these outfits together. What kind of person would spend time on that endeavor? “Hey honey, it’s dinner time” “Be right there, I’m still sewing the ball sack onto the porn suit.” “Well, make sure you wash your hands after.”
@TJ

this is so great in many ways.

The dad looks Asian.
I agree, people here should calm down.
First, no, there’s no law against this. Children are not forbidden to touch fake penises. It’s not even forbidden to allow them to see real ones, since naturism is not illegal…

at least her tiny hands make his fake pink ape penis look HUGE!
Damn hippies.
Show me yours, I’ll show you mine. Oldest game in the world.
Mmmh, furry…
Why are they wearing shoes?
I’ve seen pictures from this series of images posted on a thousand blogs, all with the same strings of hysterical “WTF” comments, but I’ve never even ONCE seen the images attributed to the actual artist who made the suits.

Seriously? We need to grow up? this is ok? This is art? Society needs moar knitted birthday suit peado BS?
Personally I believe the purpose of conceptual art like this is to check and see if people are still cringing at the sight of it or if we need to be put down as a species.

why are their ankles so thin?
they’re definitely related, they all have small feet, and a blurry aura around their skin.

This is too disturbing for words… Except, of course, “WHAT THE F#CK!?!?”
@simO)))
SimO FTW!
Honestly, the photo would be hilarious (in the fucking with the idea of covering ourselves to hide the naked form kind of way) if that little girl wasn’t gently cupping her dad’s furry shaft….
WTF!!! WTFitude to the max. What is wrong with people?
i hope this his real penis is not inside that thing O_O
@raznarukus
GET IT? THE ARISTOCRATS!
lol, good one.
@Schlake
Waaaaa! Waaaaa! Call the Waaaaaamulance!
The sad thing is, Anna Maltz probably got a grant from the NEA. In other words, our tax dollars paid for this “art”. The woman looks a lot like Mariska Hargitay! Eww.
@Dana
Actually, no, the sad thing is all you Broken Internet Children spending so much time on 4chan that you’ve warped your perceptions into seeing everything as kiddie-porn.
Plus, if I recall correctly, Anna Maltz actually did those suits while she was still in school, and bought all the materials with her own money.
So don’t worry: Your parent’s taxes aren’t paying for things that scare you, like, um, “art.”
omg…that girl is learning to be a slut!!
they should have made the son’s junk bigger..
@truthseeker
Thank goodness. But “my parent’s” taxes still pay for lots of other similar art, um, “crap”.
@Dana
It still isn’t as disturbing as an “art project” featuring pictures of a guy shitting into a jar. Art is subjective, but damn, that was some fucked-up stuff!
@Ohlol
Not a US citizen? Citizen of where? Germany? France? Netherlands? Italy? Or some other country that the army has liberated from oppression in the last century? It’s OK. If some dictator rolls you up in the next century, I’m sure we’ll bail you out again.
this shit aint legal you know
@Dana
Wow. I have an American flag, an apple pie, a noose, a “We don’t like gays, they are destroying the American family/ homosexuality is ok…only if the two girls are hot” bumper sticker, a cross, a bible to shove down in someone’s face, a Hummer/SUV, and a “America for Americans” t-shirt for you. I think all of that will match your hate and loathing very well.
@Madame Blavatska
I believe I will need therapy after this trauma.
Wow, talk about jumping to conclusions.@MODOG
This is REALLY f*cked up…
@MODOG
Dude, that ain’t sex education class. That’s a completely different situation. If my daughter’s sex-ed teacher came into school wearing a fake penis and said to her, “Here, check this out. See what it feels like,” I’d put her in a different sex-ed class and have some harsh words for the teacher. I would, by the way, put my daughter in a sex-ed class at that age. I’m no prude, I just believe there’s a line that shouldn’t be crossed.
@Ohlol
And if you don’t think the man, woman, and two children in this photo are mean to represent a family, I strongly believe you’re misinterpreting the image. Think what you want, but if an artist shows us a man, a woman, a young boy, and a young girl, all standing together in a posed photo, I’m pretty sure we’re not supposed to think they’re a group of strangers.

Then the little girl turns around of her own accord and grabs the male actors fake penis, saying, “Hey, what’s this?” The man is slightly embarrassed and responds along the lines of, “Oh, you probably shouldn’t touch that,” which explains the smile on his face. If that’s what happened here, then it’s just a humorous outtake from the photo shoot. But if this was the intended image and the photographer said, “Okay, little girl, now take the man’s penis in your hand,” then it crosses a line that I personally believe shouldn’t be crossed.
So those are my feelings on this photo in as much detail as I can express them. I’m not being reactionary and I’m certainly not going to rail against the NEA—tax dollars should support art and culture as much as they support anything else.
Brüno was running around Berlin, Germany with the same suit while promoting his movie. See a pic here:

What I learn from this picture is white people’s skin is pink.
i think this is quite a special and magical family moment. SO JUST BACK OFF WILL YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????!!!!!!!!! jesus!
“Normal” shoes? What’s a good wool anatomically correct suit if you’re not going to have feet?
Go big or go home, people.
what the hell… this is wrong in so many ways… OMG.
This is so sick and disturbing,what the hell was they thinking of?They should be locked up!
Umm… yeah, I’ve got nothing to say.
Brings a new meaning to MILF. Mother I’d like to Furry.
@The What Now?
They’re probably a family, I’ve seen a short film about the artist that showed her making another family pose. Fun fact was that the editor blurred the suits. But anyway that was not my point, I don’t think the link between these people matter.
My point is that nothing sexual is occurring in this pic. And also that the woolen penis is not evil, it doesn’t corrupt any who touches it – and I do think that insinuating that it does is to give way to a effectively reactionnary idea about sexuality and about what can it be associated with, and that your beliefs are not personnal ones (as if such things could be personnal) but a christian hangover.
Children are curious about what is usually hidden and I suppose the kid wasn’t told to touch it. But even if that was the case, it wouldn’t be of any consequence.
@Dana
I’m from a country that used its ICBM, aircraft carriers, submarines, jet fighters and bombers to fight its own dictators in the last century. Oh wait, no, in fact all those were never used.
Well said!
WHAT THE FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF***!?
@Jason
and why, *ahem*, are you looking at boy-penis?
@Ohlol I agree, completely. Nudity =/= sexuality or sex. The end.
@Dana: You *do* realize that America hasn’t actually fought in every war in every country that ever was, single handedly saving the populace from “evil” Ultimate Showdown-style, right? Right?!? (*please* say yes)
Honestly, if Bush *needed* to fight a war with a country that Bin Laden *wasn’t* hiding in, he should’ve sent troops to Darfur to stop the genocide still taking place. But I guess all those refugees needed to have some oil fields before America would save them, huh?
@Ohlol
I find the conclusions you are jumping to very interesting. First off, I’m not Christian. I’m not even religious. People are able to have personal beliefs that are not molded by a religious philosophy. That being said, I still hold that if this photo was directed to be a shot of a little girl holding a man’s penis, it’s messed up. However, I do not believe that’s what it was. Children are, as you point out, extremely curious about such things. I know, I have two kids. The thing is dangling there at eye level, the kid probably just saw it and decided to see what it felt like. This is not a sexual photograph. More than anything, it’s kind of silly. Did I have a knee-jerk reaction it it when I first saw it? Yes. Probably based on overprotectiveness of my own daughter. Did you have a knee-jerk reaction to my comments? Yes. Probably based on pre-existing notions of Americans and Christianity. By the way, I want you to know there is not animosity in my comments to you. I’ve actually found this a rather lively discussion.
Individually, they put a lot of thought into their footwear to match the Angora Anatomically Semi-Correct suits.
Ahem … sounds like it … Just don’t take it so personal, ‘K? Thanks! Jesus love you
@AFtERBIRtH33
uhhh…
who gives a fuck?
you have ruined the picture with your seriousness
What a terrible family photos hehehehe
@AFtERBIRtH33
And I love Jesus. Just not in THAT way.
@Reversetelevision
You’re right. Let’s stop being serious. Here’s what I should have posted way back in the beginning:
When these folks get a Brazilian, it REALLY hurts.
That’s Sexy. The little girl is acctually fondling her dad under the suit. She is gonna be a prosititue when she is older. That picture can make some one very horny.
SEXYYY!!!
Wow, this discussion was very, very close to bring Hitler to the scene, Iam giving 10 Internets to the first of you who put down when it was!
someone hurry up and photoshop Pedobear into that picture!
I don’t even know where to begin with this…
-That such costumes exist in family edition for entire families
-that they sell
-That people wear them outdoors
-The father/daughter action going on there
it would be ok if it were just the adults
but the kids!
who the f**k would do something like this
@Hellbound Alleee
So if the man “pretends” to finger the little girl, it’s OK, right, but cause he’s not really doing it. And if he “pretends” f*ck the little girl, it’s ok because he’s not really doing it, right?
Fucking Europeans
@Dana
Y’know, as a citizen of a country (Canada) that fought in two World Wars at the beginning and not just when it became clear who the winner was, I get a little tired of the USA acting like they single handedly won either of those wars. As for all the “dictators” the US government got rid of in South America, ask a Chilean how they felt about being “liberated” by Pinochet. I for one hope never to be “liberated” of my oil, or water, by my southerly neighbour.
What the shit is this?
@The What Now?
There’s no one here playing with genitals. The father is wearing a full-body-coverage suit. The child is playing with some interesting bits of that suit (and, incidentally, they are the easy part for her to get to; could have something to do with it). I agree this is totally (as someone above put it) W. T. F. But not illegal. After watching a video of another family, I’m thinking the kids will have a good laugh about this as well as their parents.
LOL! I was wondering what was wrong with my skin all these years!
@Anna
To “The What Now?”
I’ve now read your later posts, so I’d be obliged if you would ignore mine from a few minutes ago — Thanks!
@Christian
that… i dont even know how to describe that. Other than WTF?????
why doesn’t the man have hairy legs?
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.MAKE IT GO AWAY!
Yeah I’m hungry for some burgers.. fur burgers.
I am scared for life and now think i may be a homosexual…….
has anyone thought this was an “oops” shot, and that the girl isn’t supposed to be touching that?
@kosher ham
I was wondering the same thing, glad someone else caught that too
@Guy Smiley
You make an excellent point, I agree. There is nothing good about a little girl touching her dad’s genitalia or vice-versa, whether its fake or real.
The Mom is totally do-able. I want to see her real birthday suit.
what. the. fuck?
Two words:
Mach Three.
Although I agree that children have to learn about sex sometime, this is certainly not the way to go about it. The daughter touching the fake penis just makes it harder to look at. *shudder*
OK, ijits like Dana in no way represent this American’s views.
I blame our piss-poor education system.
at lest they are wearing shoes
This makes me laugh because people find nothing wrong with a little girl in this situation.
And it’s not even terrible that a little girl is curiously touching something hanging off her dad’s clothes as she probably doesn’t even know what it is. What’s really wrong with this picture is that the dad looks like he actually likes it.
(GOOD message) Hopefully there being raised no’ing good and proper sex,(good birds and bees) and maybe the GLP won’t get their hooks into them like they’ve done everywhere else.Oh yea,their actors,sorry,God I love the 1st amendment–
I you people used your brain, youd find the tre meaning of these clothes. It shows your not to be afraid of who you are. I, for one, really think these are interesting.
This is a picture title “The Bashful Nudists” by Mitch Cumstein
It’s just like the British royal family.
Will they adopt me?
Aaaa…my eyes….!
I laughed when I saw this and went and checked out the video
http://www.videosift.com/video/Hand-Knit-Naked-Suits-Make-Great-Family-Photos
and I smiled at the sweet innocence and the quirky humour of this entire concept. This isn’t sexual .We come from a culture that is clothed and so this seems really shocking to some of you .Obviously in reality you can’t have a child touching an adults penis in a significant way BUT I think this was just a moment of curiosity and rather insignificant . A knitted penis at eye level invites investigation and It isn’t the same as the real thing.
Why won’t they just be naked?
BTW… I’m really disturbed by this o.o
Whatever! just keep that to yourself in you own house…
This is indeed very WTF. but seriously, chill out, people!
The worst part is that someone in the world is probably fapping to this.
Bizzaro Sasquatch family?
What? Why. why.
All of the oh too serious replies ruined the funny. I guess as an artist I understand the context. A couple of people got it as well. The little girl proboably wondered what the fake peins was because none of any other pair of pants she has seen had that sewn to the front. Curiousity nothing more. If she would’ve been close to the mommy she proboably would’ve touched the bush. Kids are curious, and when something looks odd or out of place they investigate it.
Why is she grabing his junk. and why is the mom so calm about the whole thing!
I will bang the mom then the dad and then the kids! My cock is SOOOO HUGE
WELL NOW COOL ROOSTER
i wanna c it then cool rooster
ur tuning me on!!
Most WTFs are pretty stupid and weird, but this is the stupidest and weirdest!
for some reason i can’t stop looking.
like really… uhh wtf hahah.
Wow, there are a lot of really prude people out there!
It’s no wonder the world is so screwed up these days!
It’s not like anyone is really naked here for crying out loud.
the thing that bugs me here is not the fake nudity, but the little girl playing with that dude’s junk.
But what will become of those of us with a very delicate balance of mind when such depictions are viewed? We who teeter on “the edge” may succumb to even more perverse impulses than we see here. No judgement, folks, just a suggestion to consider the impact possible.
Ummmm….wow….I don’t even know what to say!
LMFAO
The Mother Just looks into space as the little Girl plays with the Dad We WE
turn on !!! nnnnnoooooooottttt
wth??? thats one ****ed up family.
Amazing. Whoever said it first, this IS the Aristocrats. You found the source of it all. Bravo.
DEAR GOD I’M GONNA CUM
Art should be beautiful and uplifting to the soul. This is just disgusting hydrophilic crap, not art in any sense of the word. The only one who’d see this as art and think there was nothing wrong with it is Roman Polanski.
Will somebody knit some clothes for those people already!!
Depending on ones upbringing it seems difficult for some people to cope with the own human physical identity. But it’s the intention that counts, not the surface. On my opinion this art photography tries to explain in a disguised way, that there can be an innocent look at things, apart from the cases of abuse we are confronted in media. A superficial perspective is contraproductive, as it deflects the attention from the essential problems. That’s also the reason, why people are judged for their gender, body shape, richness, disabilites or talents, age or ethnicity.
I really feel the need to take a shower after looking at this.
………….
who the helll would do this!?
bottom line, people are fucked.
and realy why does the mmom have some huge bush, its not the goddamn ’70s anymore.
Um… While I don’t see what the little girl( the “daughter”) is doing as sexual, it seems inappropriate for someone her age. It’s like if the boy was to grab the “mother’s” chest or crotch. I think the “parent” simply telling the child that she shouldn’t be touching that is what should be done and that would be the end of it.
Without context behind this photo, it could easily be taken sexually. I don’t think these are intended as “educational”, because in an educational setting, they would not have the daughter/young girl touching the father/adults penis. And… as far as art goes… I guess everything is art, depending on the interpretation. They remind me of dolls that they use in child molestation cases though.
i – i dont think i’ll sleep D= ….. ever agaain.
xo
Little girl, “Is that felt?”
Daddy, “It is now!”
The Aristocrats!
but isn’t that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi?
this is what happens when the nudists must leave the colony.
is the little girl ganna suck it!?!?
thaT IS MESSED UP!!!
ARE THEY WEARING PINK FUR?????
Here is my issue… anyone notice that mom has gigantic breasts and dad is packing major heat? Apparently this is a family of furry little porn stars, or simply wishful thinking transplanted onto felt…
what’s the big deal, you can tell by the girl’s grip this isn’t her first rodeo, and there is nothing that actually claims any of the people in the video are lineal descendants, i would even go so far as to argue that perhaps the smaller two persons suffer from the same condition os emanuel lewis and are actually adults…nothing to see here.
Wow, to the people who are extremely offended or recommend jail time for the parents in this picture your narrow minds are a lot more scary than the ppl in the pic!!!
It’s pretty clear that the boy and father think this is amusing and the girl is just being curious.
Anyone not ashamed of their body will not be afraid to walk naked in their home, or from the shower to bedroom…kids are curious and will ask questions or point at your junk when coming out of the shower and ask what’s that, so what, we all have the same parts and no need to grow up sexually repressed.
Oh yeah this pic is WTF but nothing illegal or so extremely disturbing.
Is this a Mackenzie Phillips early photo shoot with Papa? That boy is gonna be well hung look at that yarn!
this is very wrong….the parents are deranged and probably paedophiles
OK, quit reading the comments about halfway down, due to outrage at widespread stupidity. And only two particular offenses stuck out enough to warrant a response.
1. No, Christianity generally does not “prohibit sex education or thinking”. Not sure where you learned that. A Dawkins book? You’ve clearly had very little experience with actual Christianity. Truth be told there ARE some fringe sects that have a problem with asking questions, but you have assholes like that in every school of thought. The point is, you’ve got a rather screwed up and bass-ackwards idea of what Christianity is. Bet you can’t even tell me how many animals the apostle Paul put on the Ark of the Covenant.
(protip: it’s a trick question. but you knew that. sure ya’ did.)
2. Yeah, actually, what my tax dollars do IS highly relevant. I worked hard to earn them. I worked hard to keep as many of them from being unjustly robbed IMEAN uhm shit uhm duly collected from me, they represent my hard work. When they get granted to artists, it pisses me off – if I wanted to give artists money, I would buy art. Which, you know, I would but the government keeps taking all my money away. To give to the artists THEY choose, rather than myself. Huh. Makes a lot of sense. Glad to know she did NOT get an NEA grant. Don’t like government art. Don’t much like THIS art either, but that’s neither here nor there.
tl;dr Dawkins, Hitchens et al. don’t really have a clue, also IRS = FAIL.
Like you’ve all never fondled your dad’s nuts?
I have to admit that I find this disturbing and sick as well, and that so many think it is ok just show how decadant Europe is. I am not American, and I am not Christian. But I have values and this is not right. While my family all think America is moraly bankrupt I now can point to here and say Europens are even more moraly bankrupt.
ok so in the video that “truthseeker” posted above the lady mentioned that when people wear the suits others come up and want to feel them. so sometimes people will feel the womens breast and forget that they are groping the actual woman underneath it. so from this it is my understanding the the little girl IS groping the “fathers” penis. am i wrong or not?
soo this is art?? ookay…. and as far as the little girl is concerned.. so what.. shit happens.. i myself am a mother and my daughter once grabbed her dad’s junk… we simply told her to not touch it. no big deal… kids are naturally curious and don’t think like we do… they don’t think ” omg its a penis” they think more along the lines of ” what is that ?”
she probably takes baths with her brother, if the parents had no clue before they do now………
There is SO much wrong with all you lot being offended by this innocent picture. What a bunch of sad, repressed, god-bothering twats you are! Silly numpties!!
1. They are not naked.
2. The funny and/or jiggly bits are fake.
3. Under the fake body suits, they are each wearing at least one or two layers of clothing.
Wake up! Will you “listen” to yourselves! You lot are beggining to sound like the Taleban!
Maaaaaaaasturbation
i cant tell if the father is A. a weirdo
B.a pedophile or C.both
Seriously, it’s just a suit. The penis thing is really WTF, but it doesn’t seem that bad to me. I seriously doubt any real mother would let her kid grab her husband’s junk for real. It’s bizzare, yes, but hardly illegal.
It’s similar to having a little kid play with the lapels on her daddy’s suit because they’re weird-looking. You people need to lighten up and stop acting like the world is RAEP because of the internet. Seriously.
