The 16 Funniest Photoshopped Looter and Rioter Images

August 25, 2011 By Anne Burwell Leave a Comment

You’ll notice the title of this post makes a distinction between looters and rioters. Looters are people who break stuff in order to steal things. Rioters are people who break stuff for great justice.

Even if said great justice is poorly articulated.

You may not think there is anything funny to be said about a plague of riots that ended up killing and injuring scores of people and causing untold structural and financial damage to the great cities of England.

Alas and as usual, your opinion is wrong. Some of us here at This Blog Rules happen to think everything is funny. Not because of some high-minded positive outlook on life, but because we are sick and in need of psychiatric treatment, preferably the kind that involves a bone saw and an ice pick.

No, it’s not too soon. In fact, it’s a bit tardy. It’s a good thing the people behind the now-famous website Photoshop Looter and its lesser-known offshoot Photoshop Rioter had our backs.

Beginning on August 9, 2011, Photoshop Looter began posting doctored images of the chaos while it was still going on. The apparent mission of PL is to make the looters look as ridiculous as possible.

Both of the sites blew up in popularity, and now there is allegedly a book in progress, with funds to support the cleanup efforts. So any prudes who think it’s wrong to laugh at tragedy can think about that until their hair lights up like a red double-decker.

We poured through the dozens of submissions featured on PL and PR and picked out our ten LOL-worthy favorites. All of them speak for themselves, but we’re comment on them anyway…

20 Amazing Photos from the 2011 England Riots

August 16, 2011 By Vernon Gadson Leave a Comment

Chaos ran rampant through the streets of London, Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool (among others) from the 6th to the 9th of August, 2011 as hundreds of rioters trashed stores and burned down buildings for reasons that were for the most part inexplicable. What started out as a peaceful protest in reaction to the fatal shooting by police of a Tottenham local quickly turned into a slew of pointless, barbaric, copycat violence that slowly spread from city to city. Britons watched on the news and on the streets themselves as the country tore itself apart, hordes of youths rampaging across England to loot local shops and commit horrifying acts of arson.

16,000 police officers patrolled the streets on the last night of the riots to protect the UK from the animalistic violence, in the end resulting in more than 1,600 arrests. And amidst all of this mindless anarchy were photographers (both professional and amateur) snapping striking images of these acts of thuggish criminality. Here are the top 20 most amazing of these images, assembled in no particular order. [Read more…]
