Suggestion: Getting Crap Past The Radar

Due to the amount of sub-pages, I was thinking an optical illusion could be illustrative: A horse,◊ some dolphins,◊ and a few leaves.◊

I think the horse works the best, the other two show the person(s) too clearly.

What does the horse or the leaves show there?

Look at the shape of the blaze on the horse's face, and the negative space btween the lowest and center leaves.

Oh. Well, I'll thumb down the leaf image as it looks fairly distorted there.

Ironically, I had a harder time seeing the dolphins in the dolphin image. I'll have to shoot that one down on grounds that it's got nipple. (Not that I personally care, but better to not chance it.)

Either the horse or leaves work.

I prefer the leaves. And yes, the dolphins were harder to see than the "hidden" image. The horse is just a silhouette, so I don't think it's very strong.

Heh. I have the dolphin one in a book, and it tells of an occasion when the image was displayed on the street and some nuns complained about it because there were children around, but the children really could only see dolphins and were trying to point them out to their parents.

I think the leaves are best, because the hidden image isn't too explicit, is hidden well whilst not being impossible to see, and is a deliberate image rather than the pure chance of the horse's coloring.

I much prefer the leaves; I actually had to make myself see the dolphins in that pic and the horse is just Photoshoppery.

I'm not fond of any of them.

The concern I have with trying to put a pic on this (especially given that it's a subpaged trope) is that something naughty hidden in an illusion really isn't the trope.

I like the leaf one, for reasons mentioned above.

Clock is set.

Think this could use a crowner?

I've made one, placed my (tentative) votes, and hollered at the mods for it to be hooked to the thread.

Maybe an example of this trope from a comic strip or webcomic might work better?

Those are better suited for the subpages.

The clock is up on this one but I'm in discussion about the crowner.

The crowner's hooked and the thread is re-clocked.

The leaves pic is definitely the best. Very subtle. The horse is really Unfortunate Character Design, Real Life, and the dolphins are a lot harder to see than the naked people.

This is ready to call. The new pic's up and I've changed the old tag to note this thread. A caption would actually hurt the effectiveness of the illusion, so let's go without. Locking up.
