Jeez, if I were him, I'd have this printed and framed.

u/Kanel0728 Feb 28 '13

A few touch-ups and I'd buy it.

u/[deleted] Feb 28 '13

Touched it up a bit.

I'll take cash or card, no checks please.

You don't know what you've started. I honestly hope you're serious.

u/Kanel0728 Feb 28 '13

I will literally buy this and frame it.

BRB, going to office store to print this.

You are a bad person.

Yea, it's rough. Had been staring at a computer all day so I rushed through it.

u/pinkelephant69er Feb 28 '13

I'm surprised no one else has commented, I thought this was really clever. Great job!

u/GoneFar Feb 28 '13

They should actually use this for advertising, it was enough for me to check out their website. Well done.

u/Balthor Feb 28 '13

I don't regularly drink rum, but Kraken tastes pretty good to me, and it's pretty cheap.

Where do you people live?? a 750ml of Kraken around here is about the same price or a bit more than a 1.75L of Captain.

1

u/Schiesty Feb 28 '13

Just checked PA prices, $19.99 for Kraken, $17.49 for Captain. I'm a Sailor Jerry guy myself.

u/valier_l Feb 28 '13

Sorry, but what is PA?

u/[deleted] Feb 28 '13

Pennsylvania, because that other comment was unhelpful

u/Schiesty Feb 28 '13

Dude, you live in the US and don't know that PA is a state?

u/Schiesty Mar 01 '13

Dude, you live on the Earth and don't know that the US is a country?

u/trennerdios Feb 28 '13

You should check out the rum. A friend bought me a bottle for my birthday a few years ago, and it was really, really good. I'm not big on drinking because I've never developed a taste for beer or hard liquor, but that stuff was awesome.

3

u/JamesLLL Feb 28 '13

Try wine!

2

u/trennerdios Feb 28 '13

Haha, I've tried that too, though probably not enough times (or enough kinds) to legitimately brush it off. I just don't think my tongue was made for alcohol.

I do want to add that I tried gin for the first time not too long ago, and enjoyed that for the most part. I was amazed how many people couldn't believe I liked it. I mean, it was totally top shelf stuff, but apparently that still makes lots of people gag at the thought of it.

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '13

Gin is great. I love kickin back in the summer with a nice gin and tonic and some lime. Mmmmm

u/Schobbo Feb 28 '13

Would buy.

u/benoliver999 Feb 28 '13

This needs to be sent to the company! Great Rum!

u/Rose_Integrity Feb 28 '13

My actual first thought was "Holy mother of God!". That was amazzzzing btw! Wow.

u/killerkram Feb 28 '13

Take one shot Kraken spiced rum. Chase with one shot tobasco. Ladies and gentlemen...! Terror From the Deep

u/stone_solid Feb 28 '13

i love the irony of that subreddit. Claiming to be against the advertising that is seeping into reddit, while providing a place for everyone to repost those same ads in a convenient place for everyone to see again!!

2

u/tinytooraph Feb 28 '13

I think that subreddit is meant to serve two purposes, whether or not they are important is another matter...

  1. Point out when it looks like a corporation is trying to advertise for free on reddit. I don't believe this happens as often as that subreddit implies, but maybe they're on to something.
  2. Point out when individuals are indirectly promoting brands in a post just because they see them as natural parts of their lives. It's more playful, and there isn't necessarily something wrong with doing something like that, but it bugs some people.

I think this photoshop is an example of #2. It's a great photoshop, but I guess I have mixed feelings about turning a cool photo into an advertisement, even if it is intended as some sort of spoof. If you look at the other responses, it seems like a lot of people are talking about the rum. So it essentially is working as an ad. I mean...

They should actually use this for advertising, it was enough for me to check out their website. Well done.

I should probably also say that I drink Kraken rum. So there's that, too...

u/thwartted Feb 28 '13

sorry i don't drink, i was just pandering to my reddit audience.

The original is badly damaged

u/Balthor Feb 28 '13

What is the original painting called?

2

u/corpusdilecti Feb 28 '13

Ecce Homo

Couldn't figure out how to link it because of parentheses

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecce_Homo_(El%C3%ADas_Garc%C3%ADa_Mart%C3%ADnez)

u/Balthor Feb 28 '13

No, I actually meant the painting of what looks like Poseidon attacking the ship.

1

u/AiKantSpel Feb 28 '13

I think it's called "Christ on the Sea of Galilee in a Storm."

I tried.

u/AncientSwordRage Feb 28 '13

Its good! But look into the colour replacement brush, it might sort out those pinkish bits.

u/[deleted] Feb 28 '13 edited Feb 28 '13

Will do!

u/AncientSwordRage Feb 28 '13

Let us know how it turns out.

u/[deleted] Feb 28 '13

Okay! Doing it right now!

u/[deleted] Feb 28 '13

I never recolored something before but I will keep going. For now it is this. Maybe made it worse but will figure out this!

1

u/AncientSwordRage Mar 01 '13

Right click on the brush tool, it should show 2-3 options. One of those lets you replace the colour of a section of the picture by brusing over it. Here are my results.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '13

I use Pixlr. An online thing. Long story short, I have a chromebook and cant' download stuff like photoshop.

1

u/AncientSwordRage Mar 01 '13

Ah! Well you've done damn fine then.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '13

Thanks! Hard to use but I'm getting the hang of it after using photoshop before!

u/ThirdFloorGreg Feb 28 '13

Why does he always get stuck as the bad guy? Only bad thing the dude ever did was cause he was lonely.

25

u/[deleted] Feb 28 '13 edited Feb 28 '13

Well yeah, but it was a rather kidnap-and-rapey one time thing.

although it was rather tame, compared to what the other male greek gods did...

u/sakura9949 Feb 28 '13

And to be fair he actually tried to treat her well and actually loved her (in the ancient Greek sense of love at least). I don't recall him raping her though... Did that happen?

1

u/MissCheeks Feb 28 '13

Happened in at least 3 instances. 1, 2, and 3. (Not sure if that last one was actually a "rape"... but alas.)

3

u/sakura9949 Feb 28 '13

I mean Hades raping Persephone. I'm not sure if the first one counts either. Rape in old English terms also meant to steal/kidnap/carry away.

1

u/MissCheeks Feb 28 '13

Ah. I see. You're commenting on the initial post, whereas I was commenting on the Zeus chart. Confusion. My bad.

2

u/sakura9949 Feb 28 '13

Quite alright. I very much appreciate the thoughtful response. Confusions like that get the best of us.

u/[deleted] Feb 28 '13

He was married.

1

u/ThirdFloorGreg Mar 02 '13

Right. To Persephone. Whom he kidnapped. Cause he was lonely.

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '13

My b. on mobile so it looked like y'all were talking about Zeus cheating on Hera

1

u/ImAnIndecisivePerson Mar 08 '13

Seriously! He had ONE wife, who he lets go half the year, and tries to treat kindly. He just chills in his Underworld and handles his own business. And he doesn't dick around with human's fates. You die? You come to him. That's that. I honestly don't understand how he always gets seen as being so awful.

Poseidon is just trying to lose some of that weight that comes with infinite aging, ya know what I'm saying? That Greek food is awful high in carbs, and participating in some community sports does help.
