Nov 11 2008Fake! Shadows Are Too Perfect, This Is From The Summer Blockbuster Never Back Down From Beating A Dead Horse: Real Life Photoshop

This is what Photoshop would look like in real life. If you think it's fake you can go this Flickr gallery to see its construction, then suck it. And if you think it's from the scene in Never Back Down where The Geekologie Writer stabs a commenter through their monitor, well, I can make that happen.
What Photoshop Would Look Like in Real Life [gizmodo]
Thanks to Harrison and Roberto, who are neither fake nor from a stupid freaking movie.

first? my first comment is first? what a loser
5. Daisy - November 11, 2008 11:02 AM
FAKE!!!!
This is an obvious photoshop job. You can tell its fake because the shadows are all wrong.
It kinda looks like the scene from the movie Never Back Down where Max's friend Daisy calls the GW a dipshit. A big lovable alcoholic dipshit, but dipped in shit nontheless. XO <3
6. Dan - November 11, 2008 11:06 AM

7. wesxninja - November 11, 2008 11:16 AM
ok, now we can kill Daisy
annnnnnd go.
8. Don't click on my name! - November 11, 2008 11:18 AM
Kind of off topic. Why doesn't Darth Vader have a neck in the costume ad above?

GW FTW! PEW PEW PEW
GW - 1
Daisy - (0) Fail
11. Foobar - November 11, 2008 11:20 AM
@10 - I'd call this a draw....in photoshop.
12. Moose Knuckle - November 11, 2008 11:23 AM
REAL!!!
Those shadows are completely accurate, this bears no resembance, in any way, to anything in the movie "Never Back Down". Although it does look similar to a scene from the movie "Bail Out" starring David Hasselhoff as Detective/Tennis pro "White Bread".
13. tylerdurden - November 11, 2008 11:25 AM
That bitch got f***ing owned.
GW ftw. Pew Pew bitches.
14. Moose Knuckle - November 11, 2008 11:26 AM
@8 'cause it was photoshopped, see the shadows...?
15. I'm a Computer - November 11, 2008 11:34 AM
so much attention payed to the little details. yet no attention payed to the smaller details. and moderate attention payed to the major details. in conclusion, the value of attention payed was not equal to, or more than, what could have been the full value of this project. still payin' attention?
16. YAY! - November 11, 2008 11:43 AM
Daisy has lost. FINISH HER!
17. greg - November 11, 2008 11:53 AM
DAISY OWNED
18. Richard Revolved! - November 11, 2008 11:55 AM
When is Daisy going to take the subtle hint everyone is giving her to stop with the lame comments.
Maybe we should stop beating around the bush and tell her how we really feel.
Pew³
19. Test Tickles - November 11, 2008 12:00 PM
Yes, everybody. Let's pay more attention to Daisy, and more specifically to the phrase he/she always reiterates. Then let's hope it's gonna make it stop.
You've breathed new life into Daisy, now that beast can never be stopped. Ever.
20. RIMTUCK - November 11, 2008 12:01 PM
cool i guess.
Let's see that done in Adobe Illustrator.
21. Gizmoduck - November 11, 2008 12:02 PM
pew pew pew
this daisy, never back down is dickbutt.
never go ass to mouth
22. Dr.Freak - November 11, 2008 12:04 PM
Something tells me she still doesn't get the hint...
All those who hate the idiot say "aye"
23. Gizmoduck - November 11, 2008 12:06 PM
@10
finish her
24. dliup - November 11, 2008 12:11 PM
Daisy, give up. No one is going to PAY for your stupid movie. It's rated 15% on rotten tomatoes. That means Out of any 7 movies, 6 movies will be better than that POS movie.
For those who want to see it, don't pay for it, don't rent it. Just download it and see how bad the acting and story line it has.
25. 42 y/o undead warlock - November 11, 2008 12:42 PM
@24
I'll take that as a hint to not bother with the movie.
I have been wondering why so many people here included the title in their posts.
26. Thumperchica - November 11, 2008 12:47 PM
So if you stick to it, relentlessly, and NEVER BACK DOWN. You can get the GW to not only acknowledge your lame ass posts, you can get him to use your comments as a blog title...
Daisy - You fail at life, but win here at geekologie.
27. Rithly - November 11, 2008 12:47 PM
@24
She's not trying to sell the movie. Many a week ago, before the age of the new writers, there was a post on Geekologie that got a lot of Never Back Down referenced comments, and it kind of caught on. For days, hilarity ensued on Geekologie as people used Never Back Down in as many ways as possible.
Daisy is just keeping up with the old ways, she is a survivor of good times forgotten.
Besides, I don't see why you all complain about it. It's one little comment per post, and you don't HAVE to read it. Since when are comments on a blog so important to people they need to constantly complain when they are delayed reading them for one second.
28. Elmo - November 11, 2008 1:12 PM
woah I've seen this before, damnit.. I'm not screaming "OLD" cause all I've seen is this one anal-retentive dude's art table.... but the 'tool' boxes weren't there *well they might have been*
29. Barbalargas - November 11, 2008 1:24 PM
Cool idea, not sure how much it was worth the constructor's time, considering a new PS is on the way.
I guess complaining about Daisy is the 'new Never Back Down' fad.
30. Amy - November 11, 2008 1:24 PM
As a mod for another site, seriously why don't you guys just IP ban her already?
31. Simon - November 11, 2008 1:31 PM
GW, uou just have to block those words in comments :
Never back down fake photoshop wrong shadows
and Daisy's f***ed hard.
You can block them easily in your sript. You can also block Daisy as a user name if you want.
32. Blu - November 11, 2008 1:31 PM
Really? You're a mod from another site. Thank you for that brilliant advice. I am certain nobody else was sharp enough to figure that out without your invaluable input.
33. Simon - November 11, 2008 1:34 PM
Daisy will only change her IP, this is stupid, blocking words is a better (but not the best) solution.
34. Simon - November 11, 2008 1:35 PM
However, the real solution is to cut Daisy's fingers with a butcher's knife.
35. Blu - November 11, 2008 1:35 PM
Simon, further priceless advice. Not only would that solve the "Daisy problem" (or Herpes Simplex 1) but it would also prevent the following problematic sentences:
I've NEVER understood why Simon's mother continues to let him live DOWN in the SHADOWs of her basement.
It's just plain WRONG the way Simon jacks off every time his mother turns her BACK to him.
.........
36. blp - November 11, 2008 1:43 PM
That made my day but u know you're just encouraging her. Good laugh, but now's the time to start ignoring the bitch and she might go away. Starting from...NOW!
37. Simon - November 11, 2008 1:48 PM
That's why synonyms exists :
AT NO TIME have I understood why Blu's mother continues to let him live BELOW in the DARKNESS of her basement.
It's just plain INCORRECT the way Blu jacks off every time his mother turns her POSTERIOR to him.
No problem here...
38. Simon - November 11, 2008 1:50 PM
However blocking "Never back down" and replacing it with synonyms would give :
At no time below posterior. Daisy's f***ed.
39. Simon - November 11, 2008 1:55 PM
Another good thing would be :
DELETE * FROM comments WHERE user_name = "Daisy";
and run this command every 5 minutes.
40. LMAO @ All of you - November 11, 2008 1:58 PM
The phrase was originally spawned when GW posted a clip from the movie, Never Back Down, as an actual fight scene. He was quickly admonished for his mistake and the trend was born because SO MANY people posted the comment; "This is from the movie Never Back Down".
http://www.geekologie.com/2008/09/showing_off_how_not_to_win_a_f.php#comment
Know your history you scubby nubs. and to Daisy, Congrats on getting your very own Geekologie reference, you win 10 internets.
41. Tina - November 11, 2008 2:12 PM
40, its really not a trend if Daisy is the only one doing it. Its just annoying. And it's pretty clear that the GW is pretty annoyed as well. Thanks GW, for showing me that i'm not the only one annoyed by that stupid flower!
42. Kenny - November 11, 2008 2:21 PM
I never did understand why everyone was always so pissed at Daisy for her "catchphrase", i mean its not a big deal or anything. Especially when she is just referencing an old joke. I mean shouldn't you be more pissed at the retards who scream FIRST into the first comment thinking they're cool?
43. Kenny - November 11, 2008 2:22 PM
Or the writer thought it was funny, if someone annoyed me I wouldn't have glorified them by making a title a joke about them, would you?
44. Jordan - November 11, 2008 2:26 PM
The shadows are just right...
And if you don't believe me, the GW will come out of your monitor, Ring Style.
45. Tina - November 11, 2008 2:36 PM
Kenny im totally with you on the people who write "first".
46. Atrides - November 11, 2008 2:49 PM
I can't believe GW bothers to read our inane dialogues
47. jean - November 11, 2008 3:39 PM
waaaay too simple...i would like to see MS Visual Studio 2008 with ALL its drawers open wide....it takes both my monitors on my system....and there's no space left for sourcecode!!
48. Beastman AIDS - November 11, 2008 4:33 PM
@46
OMG LOL YOU 4GOT THE 'S' IN 'INSANE'!!!111!!!one!
49. radlad - November 11, 2008 4:50 PM

50. Jukai - November 11, 2008 5:30 PM
Dig it!
51. Jukai - November 11, 2008 5:33 PM
This may be my favorite GW article ever
52. TetraShiva - November 11, 2008 5:53 PM
We can ignore "First!" posts. Just skip them then get to the convo.
The thing with Daisy is, is that it makes the comments impossible to read or enjoy. We used to have convos in here and make witty comments with one another. Now it's just this shit over and over again. I actually stopped reading & caring because it got so annoying, but I just had to see where this thread would go.
If I had to guess, Daisy is either a troll from a competing sight, or truly a loser very desperate for attention. It would be a lot easier just to ban IPs. If Daisy changed hers using a proxy, ban the proxy. She'll run out eventually.
The fact that she hasn't quit doing this shit yet means she has a bone to grind. I really do suspect it's someone from one of the other competing sights that got nominated with Geekologie for tech/gadget site of the year a while ago.
53. Sally the dude - November 11, 2008 5:53 PM
This probably might be the most non-user-friendly Adobe Photoshop version ever.
And for Daisy:
B u r n !!!
54. Thumperchica - November 11, 2008 5:58 PM
C'mon guys, Daisy = Icon... anyone remember him? He was really mad at the first impersonators...
Or it's smokingirl, hmmmm
55. GEOFF LEPPARD - November 11, 2008 6:33 PM
GEEKOLOGY WRITER used PARODY!
It's super effective!
56. The Heat - November 11, 2008 9:48 PM
Daisy is a great trade for smokingirl.
@52. Seriously, I dare you to find an example of actual wit in the archived posts.
57. Truthiness - November 11, 2008 10:11 PM
GW - I have never wanted you more.
58. Drunken Heathen - November 11, 2008 11:15 PM
long time reader, first time poster, hang in there Daisy, this article is your vindication!
59. SODAssault - November 11, 2008 11:47 PM
Just remember this: no matter how hard Daisy pushes this, it will always be recognized as being both extremely forced and trying too hard.
Failed attempt at meme status is failed.
60. Tina - November 11, 2008 11:50 PM
who is smokingirl? who is icon? why dont i remember these fools?
61. Dear Bastards and Bitches - November 12, 2008 3:13 AM
Dear Bastards and Bitches,
This was written for Daisy and Laisy,
wheather to piss them off or piss them on.
But all of us bastards and bitches out here are wasting
all our extremely valuable time and re- resources,
doing everything else but ignoring him/her.
Please help me I'm so f***ing retarded I badly need to know the meaning of the word IGNORE you IGNO Rant bastards and bitches.
Talking of History and being a first freak. You can go down to the GW archives of 2006 and fill up all the 236 posts that still have no first including the first post which still has 0 comments. Yes. Zeee f***ing Row.
http://www.geekologie.com/2006/04/02-week/
Now ignore this whole shit. Don't type a single word after this. Just walk away from your keyboard, and never come back.
The Bitch Tina's gone senile.
62. that smooth bastard - November 12, 2008 5:11 AM
My Faith has been restored in this site. The force is strong with the GW today....Daisy sucks taint sweat. Peace
63. GEOFF LEPPARD - November 12, 2008 10:26 AM
I love how SODAssault insists on talking like a f***ing mongoloid channer, as though to advertise the fact that they're an invalid.
Bless.
64. Steemo! - November 12, 2008 10:38 AM
Daisy is the funniest poster on here. Everybody else is a bunch of whiney bitches that can't skip a post if their dink depended on it.
65. Gunt - November 12, 2008 10:42 AM
I find it hilarious that everyone jumps on Daisy for beating a dead horse yet no one says anything about everyone continually biting on the GW's comedy genius of "Pew Pew Pew".
Either ignore Daisy or change your own statements, just quit bitching.
66. Atrides - November 12, 2008 10:57 AM
@48 Damn you're dumb
67. LSDiesel - November 12, 2008 11:24 AM
Daisy, I always knew you would achieve geekologie Nirvana. Now you can go away. Go on. Still not leavging? Ok....SHOO! SKIT! NAZI! PEW PEW PEW
68. Phillip J. Fry - November 12, 2008 2:11 PM
Sweet the Gizmodo staff listened to me and actually did this post. For those of you who don't remember I came up with this idea a couple of weeks back. Sorry, I was away last week and no where near a computer otherwise i would have posted it sooner.
69. Simon - November 12, 2008 6:35 PM
@68, I remember it, I still think it is a bad idea.
