Miss Switzerland: Half Itty Car Condensed


It's kind of beautiful seeing the carefully added (albeit multiplying) shadows and the car's translucent windows. What does the paving signify? Is the car really that tiny?

Thanks to Julien!

That is just all-over disturbing.

I feel like all the models and the car will fall right off that steep slope.

the leaning woman in the lower far right corner looks like she's in the wrong advertisement. She should be posing for a sex catalog, not for cars.

Shelley said...

The blonde all the way to the right doesn't even have leg shadows.

Deaf Indian Muslim Anarchist! said...

oops, I mean in the far LEFT bottom corner.

Lisa said...

I keep hearing in the back of my mind the song "Up on the Roof." Either the car is really small or the girls are really big!!!

garth2 said...

the girls in the back are even bigger, too...it looks like they're on band risers or something. invisible band risers

Judging by the angle of what look to me to be roofing shingles, the right rear bumper is buried a couple feet in the ground.

Holy crap, the total disregard for perspective is causing nausea. My head is spinning. Oh shit I sprained my eyes! Ouch it hurts! I need Gin!

Maybe the car is partly embedded into the ground? Hence the reason why it's not crashing down that slope...

Begy said...

Some of the models have GIANT hands.

Blissful Builder said...

I am sure the winner of "Miss Central Switzerland" pageant would be more than happy to get the diminutive car as a prize.

John said...

The woman in the far back on the left has something wrong with her left arm and hand. It look like it went through the model next to her, either that or its a manikin hand.

Verification word: mulnuerr - French - As in its all a bunch of Mulneurr.

headleak said...

the car and the women seem to inhabit different coordinate systems. definitely something weird with perspective that Hurts My Head.

and the woman at back left - does she have an exceptionally long left leg? or am i imagining it?

Aly C.I.A said...

The whole roof and all of the girls seem to be tilted. The car is just too cool for that.

Kasey said...

None of those long-legged girls could fit in that tiny car. They'd have to sit in the trunk to drive it!

Clearly these girls hated each other so much that they couldn't be shot in a real group photo.

gods dj said...

ok, but surely that isn't even supposed to look real...

The Mushroom said...

Kasey: I think it's the car that hates the girls. Or the designer that hates the car.

David said...

The slope really is that sheer, or how could the back row be that far above the front row? Seems like quite careful attention to perspective to me.

No, what you've overlooked is that all these young women are wearing stilettos on which an extra 12" of heel is buried beneath the visible surface to prevent them from sliding down. The only question left unanswered by this image is, will this contest be won by the tall, skinny, long-haired blonde, or the tall, skinny, long-haired brunette. And why is the car so small, obvo.

Don't you realise?
This is 'intentional surrealist art'

Mrs. Cleanest said...

The perspective in this is all wrong. The creator needs an art class or five. I like how the girl with the stomach-ache has stump-legs.

breixo said...

The car is not tiny, This car is the tiniest! (See www.smart.com).
I have a very cheaper model of this Smart and everybody envy me! I park it almost everywhere.

Tread Width, Front 50.5 (in) / 1.28 (m)
Height, Overall 60.7 (in) / 1.54 (m)
Length, Overall 106.1 (in) / 2,70 (m)
Bye

PD: Besides, my car reachs 140 km/h =:-O

ZaphodQB said...

breixo, Me and my 454cdi 71 Chevelle do not envy you, not one little bit. In fact when we blaze past you and blow your pitiful ass right off the road into the ditch, we will probably feel a little sorry for you.

arthole said...

@Briexo:

One of my best friends has a Smart Car, and they're small, but they're not THAT small. Don't EVEN try and excuse this mess of a Photopshop collage. Both the scale and the perspective are ridiculously off.

nathalyru said...

these are just gigantic Ginormicas...

Current Resident said...

The car is setting on a platform that is built diagonally into the slope of the roof, that's why it only appears to be at an incorrect angle.

girlrat said...

It's a Smart Car, so yes, it is that tiny. Not that this isn't a horrible, horrible comp job.

Frog said...

John already mentioned this, but I swear that girl in the left top corner is completely missing an arm. And is randomly holding onto the arm of the girl next to her. Either that or her hand is sprouting another hand. There's something weird about the third one from the right, too.

Alex said...

Power Wheels have sure gotten fancy since when I was a kid.

Myque said...

Can anyone tell me what the tag TTH means?

Guánder Guóman! said...

European cars, you know...

brunswick said...

The look of despair on the face of the blonde in the bottom right-hand corner says it all.

gazzatrone said...

What a car crash. Obviously not involving present car. The only thing that would worry is a gnat.

adler said...

have mercy, this looks like a drawing by 5 year old.

genti said...

Be careful, it's Miss Central-Switzerland. This is a low budget production. Nothing to do with the bigger show Miss Switzerland

Miranda said...

Car? What car? Screw the car. Lemme buy these chicks a drink! XD

BRING IT HOME TO MAMA

Becky said...

The poor girl in the front standing next to the car has the most absurd look on her face, not at all like someone competing in a beauty pageant. She looks like she'd rather be ANYWHERE ELSE than in this photo.

sTeFaNnIe said...

I'm gonna vomit

Jim said...

I have to wonder why these beauty pageant contestants all have such bad hair.

Is it my imagination or is the rightmost girl in each line the same girl?

Nathan said...

theAndi said...

sorry, but the car Is that small http://www.autoplenum.de/Bilder/P/p0501390/SMART/SMART-smart-fortwo-cabrio-pure--2007-2008-.jpg

stop_making_sense said...

The girl in the bottom far right looks like the angry long-fingered mutant from 'W: as in WTF', just with much less make-up XD

The fingers gave her away...
