The internet used to be reserved for the geeks and techies of this world. Now the internet is for everyone. And when I say everyone, that’s the idiots of the planet as well. This image, recently uploaded to Imgur, has received a lot of heat from those who claim it is inappropriate and promotes child abuse.

Many people believed this was a picture of a man about to defecate on his baby. Obviously this isn’t a prime example of good parenting. In fact, it’s probably not something that you should ever do. But take a long hard look at this picture and see if you can work out what’s going on.

Here is the original picture

And this is how the internet responded

Of course, it’s just a picture of a man kissing his baby. But there has been a common misconception about what the photo shows. Comments have ranged from “Totally thought it was some misshapen ass gaping over the baby” to “That took far too long to realize what was going on.”
