I don't understand why you're posting this in the manner you did. It's an artistic piece.

This is not your photograph. This is a sculpture by Patricia Piccinini called "The Young Family."

Ease up a bit people, I think he was aiming for humor. Surely he couldn't be attempting an actual hoax.....

No worries, this will not be forgotten or excused, we are currently discussing options behind the scenes.

Soo..

It,s NOT in the countryside..NOT in a cabin...NOT real..NOT your photograph??

It's not even 'mythical'
It's a sculpture in a gallery representing a human/canine hybrid..

So I can only assume you posted this in the wrong place..You wanted the humour section of general chit chat in BTS or something..

Or else you are the worlds worst hoaxer.
Hmmm I wonder which.

I can't believe that this was an attempt at a hoax since the photo clearly was not taken in a "small cabin".

I suppose it was an attempt at humor? Might make sense if it was in any way funny or clever.

I suppose the post really does belong in the ATS Mysterious forum because I, for one, am at a loss to explain it.

If this paragraph -

Then it appears the author of the thread is attempting to deceive one or more persons on ATS. I also believe this is against policy and am familiar with what the policy says should be done.

Lay the pitchforks down, and douse those torches.

This is clearly not a hoax attempt.

The OP was much more interesting to read than the standard 'hey guys, is this photo for real?'

Agreed. But it clearly belongs in BTS, not ATS. Perhaps a mod can move it and be done with it.

But a warn may be in order, as well. Afterall, I've gotten warns for committing less grievous offenses of the T&C than this.

Hello everyone,

I apologize for making this thread, I had made it as a joke.
When I saw the image, I was like wow, I gotta post this on ATS as a joke, which was of course very stupid and impulsive.

I've been a member of other forums with much much less members, so these kinda 'every now and then' joke threads were permitted.

But as a member of ATS now, since it has such a bigger number of members I gotta condition myself not to do this mistake again.

It was a good thing that my posting priviliges were temporarily taken away, this put emphasis on the "don't do it again".

So once again I apologize for my childish behavior, I shouldn't have done it and i'll ensure nothing remotely similar happens again from my username.

My apologies everyone again, btw I love ATS!

Thanks
ModernAcademia
