Is this a picture of Brad in his southern youth?

Stumbled upon this picture, and yeah, how can this not be Brad? He grew up in the south right? Must need answers.

EDIT: Cased solved, Little_Socrates did some investigating and apparently this is a pornstar named seth.

God, I hope so.

How did you stumble upon it?

Some things are better left unexplained. The less we know man, the less...we...know.

That's probably more likely Brad's dad in the 1970s.

That was my first question as well.

Fuck.

@ImmortalSaiyan said:

The stumble upon site, it was just this pic, no site or context.

@FluxWaveZ: Ahh, so you think it's shopped?

Does he have a flower in his hair?

@BestUsernameEver: Uh, no. I was posting that because you had posted the exact same image in that page 6 months ago, which apparently you just deleted.

Let's say yes.

@FluxWaveZ: Riight.

@BestUsernameEver said:

@FluxWaveZ: Riight.

Yeah, I mean there can't possibly be a reason that Google still lists the result for that exact same link, right?

@FluxWaveZ: You're really not having a point, I wanted to know if this was a real picture of Brad, and you just keep saying it's in the photoshop thread.

Hot damn.

@BestUsernameEver: Sorry? All I did was post the link for the result that that search yielded for me pointing to you posting that picture in that thread 6 months ago. That is all.

@FluxWaveZ: Ok, thanks I guess, not sure where the angst is coming from, but thanks for trying to help out.

lol sounds like his point is that you just got caught lying.

Lying about what? I am seriously lost here.

That's not really....WAIT, BRAD IS FROM THE SOUTH?!?!?!

I posit that it is shopped.

@stise: If it is, it's an insanely good one. I cannot find any flaws with color or face position really.

He's saying that you posted this in the photoshop thread six months ago, which would imply that you are the one who created the photoshop. However, the name associated with the image was "markmagiorrishots" in that image, because it comes from the nude art blog "markmaggiorishots." While the rest of the site is NSFW, the page it's taken from is not: this is Seth, and the photo was taken in 2011. I'm not gonna ask why you were on this particular nude art blog because I don't really care, but it is clearly not Brad.

@Little_Socrates: Another case solved.

@stise: If it is, it's an insanely good one. I cannot find any flaws with color or face position really.

@Little_Socrates: Ahh cool thanks.

I think we know where the "angst" is coming from. (:

Teenage-ness.

I like where this thread has gone.

Respect for not acknowledging any of the comments

So... its is Brad, but he also leads one of his multiple other lives as a pornstar named Seth? Seems about right.

I looked at the rest of the site and learned that there is such a thing as a phone fetish. Now I hate my life.

I'd imagine that North Carolina people looked like that circa 1970. We've - for the most part - caught up to the times since then.

That doesn't look like Brad anyway, regardless of the proof that it definitively isn't Brad.

How could we possibly mistake Brad by a pornstar?

As a whole, the South isn't much better now. Once you get out of cities and suburbs, you're mostly in run-down towns and what you would think of as being stereotypical images of the South. But yeah, the South pre-1980 was pretty messed up. Anyway, that picture was taken in Arizona, so it's kind of a moot point.

I'm not in a city or suburb. The town I live in isn't run down.

Well, OK, I guess it's worth mentioning that Charlotte, a sprawling city, is about an hour away. Still, I've been around here, and while I've seen some run down areas, there are some small towns here and there that don't give off that vibe. I don't think the point is really moot since the picture implies that all southerners are stupid ignorant rednecks, a notion which I vehemently abhor.

I did not want to click that link because, at the time of posting, I was in a school computer lab. At the back table, out of everyone's sight, but I was still in a computer lab.

Judging by your avatar, you should.

You too, I guess.

Fuck.

Yeah that kid must be from the south where nobody wears shirts, everybody carries guns, and non-functioning vehicles litter every property. Once you get below a certain latitude, things magically start looking like this picture.

Creepy resemblance.

I CANNOT help but to get a Badlands vibe off of looking at that picture.
