sometimes when i go to flickr i am greeted with this picture

now is it just me, or is this picture/child absolutely disgusting... its like, i just cant look at it. i turn my eyes away and cant help but go "eww"

what do you think??

Courtneyyy · 2nd Apr 2009, 09:03 PM

I actually think he's adorable. I like his funny glasses.

2nd Apr 2009, 09:06 PM

I'm not disgusted, but rather worried lol. My fatherly instinct comes out and makes me want to take that child to a dermatologist. He looks like he suffers from severe acne, but he's just a little kid!

I wonder why they put that picture on Flickr's frontpage.

Cheria · 2nd Apr 2009, 09:13 PM

Not to be mean, but it looks like he got run over by something.

2nd Apr 2009, 09:19 PM

He looks like one of those kids you pick out and send a $1 a month to support with health and education. I think the whole dollar is going to the education portion though.

2nd Apr 2009, 09:29 PM

THe kids too young to get acne...isn't he? Not that I would know. I didn't get my first pimple until Iwas like 18. I nearly freaked out and shat a brick too.

A) Dont be cruel.
B) He doesn't look like he has been run down by something

C) Its probably Eczema, or a skin condition.

For some reason when I look at this picture most of it doesn't seem real~! I might be going crazy, but some things look very digitally added or something~!

otc877 · 3rd Apr 2009, 01:08 AM

And despite all these negative comments from strangers, this kid still manages to look happy. I admire that.

**Maddy** · 3rd Apr 2009, 01:10 AM

Just looks to me like he has eczema or some skin pigmentation issue.

Janvier · 3rd Apr 2009, 01:33 AM

Well, at least I'm glad I'm not him

HeronsStorm · 3rd Apr 2009, 02:26 AM

Well, I don't like kids in the first place, so of course he freaks me out.

Stuie · 3rd Apr 2009, 02:32 AM

I like small children when they don't pinch me. As he can't pinch me, he's right up there on my list of "Small Children who are OK" and that list is very small! SMALL CHILDREN LIKE TO PINCH ME!

it can be lonely beeing a child sometimes

Halpert · 3rd Apr 2009, 07:38 AM

Does anyone else think his mushroom cut is awesome?

Just Adam · 3rd Apr 2009, 07:44 AM

id shoot the person who did the fringe its uneven will have to be trimmed

Alex19 · 3rd Apr 2009, 08:07 AM

i thought it was scary, but not really disgusting. at least your honest.

Just Adam · 3rd Apr 2009, 08:13 AM

its the sort of thing if you were in the street turned round and see him youd go AHHH WTF.... then after seeing his horror and his mothers disbelief as she holds him back from the scary shouty person you realise what you did and say im so sorry i thought i mean i..i look down to him say its not your fault..then walk off leaveing mum to explain what the person meant... :S

Dazed · 3rd Apr 2009, 08:24 AM

im not freaked out...or grossed out.

i bet all of you have a horrible picture you mother likes to show everyone.

*wags fingers at the mean people*

**Lexington** · 3rd Apr 2009, 08:25 AM

The picture is weird. Between the colors, the odd glasses, the vacant expression, etc etc - the picture ends up looking not real in the slightest. It's almost like a bizarre oil painting.
