I guess they're taking the idea of rejection in a male's point of view way too extreme. That thing is creepy as fuck.

"Who is Joshua? A life-size, puppet-like character created by artist Charlie White and the poster boy for all men who've ever suffered rejection and low self-esteem. EGG takes a look at White's photographs of Joshua in the suburban hell he inhabits, and with the artist's help, attempts to understand what it means to be an American male."

so the weird monkey thing is supposed to represent what it feels like as a man who's been rejected at some point or another? WTF?

I've never felt that rejected to the point where I look like that monkey thing.

Soooo strange...

2/6/2008 9:44:00 AM

god damn that's weird and creepy

2/6/2008 9:44:51 AM

well it's a relief to hear that that's not an actual person
I always wondered if that dude was real, and felt mucho sorry for him

2/6/2008 10:02:11 AM

don't you get it?

it is a real person

...

2/6/2008 10:06:06 AM

of course...that's guy is me...he's every insecure male, doing his best in a world he doesn't understand...seeking and craving affection, yet always losing out...always on the outside looking in

but I prefer to regard him as a hideous creepy puppet who appears in funny internet pics

fwiw

every time this subject came up on tww

I reported that I once saw a bunch of these photos in an issue of adbusters magazine circa 2003

the accompanying story had something to do with psychology and human meaning, (as does much of the magazine)

2/6/2008 1:05:59 PM

2/6/2008 1:09:45 PM

LOTR first movie came out in 2001

2/6/2008 1:11:06 PM

2/6/2008 1:15:24 PM

2/6/2008 1:18:28 PM
