Algae on the top of a very colorful pond.

A really bad acid trip?

Chestnuts roasted by ColonelCatsup @ 08/04/2006 10:47 PM EST

The third image for the download code from Johnny Mnemonic?

Chestnuts roasted by Knegative @ 08/04/2006 10:47 PM EST

Looks like a poorly recorded VHS of a car commercial.

Chestnuts roasted by RedLightBulbs @ 08/04/2006 10:52 PM EST

Someone sent you a Beta tape from the 80's that you couldn't use, but you tried to play it in a VHS machine anyway?

Chestnuts roasted by Sphynn @ 08/04/2006 10:55 PM EST

It does look like a scrambled premium cable channel from back before digital cable...but I'm going to say Disney over porn.

Chestnuts roasted by Ragnarok @ 08/04/2006 10:56 PM EST

that cyclops dude from heman? on a dying dubbed old ass beta....???

either that or a deleted scene from one night in paris..

Chestnuts roasted by shady @ 08/04/2006 11:02 PM EST

Possibly something by Warhol?

Chestnuts roasted by Jinx @ 08/04/2006 11:03 PM EST

Looks like any number of video games (cartriges that is) that go all wonky when you turn the power on. Doesn't matter what system, they all did it... Intellivision, Atari 2600, Colecovision, etc.

Chestnuts roasted by Bludge @ 08/04/2006 11:18 PM EST

Looks like someone forgot to write an entry.

Chestnuts roasted by BDBull @ 08/04/2006 11:19 PM EST

Hint? Please?

I'm going with a beat up, worn VHS tape.

It look like some kind of face.

Chestnuts roasted by Deuce @ 08/04/2006 11:35 PM EST

CLEARLY, what we have here is a snap from a slighlty corrupt video of a yeti-- or some other lens-shy beast. It seems to have jostled the camera and mangled the video with its yeti-magic. Some would presume that it is trying to hide its own existence by attacking the photographer. I say Mr. Yeti was just trying to make contact, in a Harry and the Hendersons sort of way. I mean, just look at it.

Chestnuts roasted by mr.skeleton @ 08/04/2006 11:36 PM EST

Seems like the guy from the "You Can't Do That On Television" bumpers. You know what I'm talking about...the drawing of the guy who looked like Bob Newhart?

Chestnuts roasted by Invader Norbert @ 08/04/2006 11:36 PM EST

The "It's Only a Northern Song" portion of the movie "Yellow Submarine"?

Chestnuts roasted by marcus @ 08/05/2006 12:03 AM EST

Is it one of those hidden picture things? Because when I squint and back away from the computer I see a horrible demonic face... But maybe that's because I forgot my medication this morning. 0.o

Chestnuts roasted by Hazzard @ 08/05/2006 12:08 AM EST

Abstract picture of Zorak. Or a bad recording of a show starring a blue ghost wearing sunglasses and some sort of dolphin hat.

Chestnuts roasted by dylan @ 08/05/2006 12:32 AM EST

It's either a talking piece of broccoli or the videotape for a third Ring movie.

A frame from an old Ninja Turtles Playset commercial that got horrible reception.

Chestnuts roasted by Mars @ 08/05/2006 12:49 AM EST

Hopefully not a broken ipod screen.

Chestnuts roasted by Matthew J @ 08/05/2006 12:51 AM EST

I was thinking a messed up computer screen.

Chestnuts roasted by Ryane @ 08/05/2006 12:58 AM EST

I'll say, 'A)Squidward Tentacles' from Spongebob Squarepants -- final answer.

Chestnuts roasted by A Person Who Hates Spongebob Squarepants @ 08/05/2006 12:58 AM EST

No, wait! I take that back! The correct answer is 'C)Squidward Tentacles -- with hair' from ... the Spongebob Squarepants prequel...?

(Some tinkering with the image in MSPaint showed some hair on the head of the cartoon )

a schooner. No, a sailboat. Dudes, a schooner is a sailboat.

captain planet on VHS?

Chestnuts roasted by diarrhea Dave @ 08/05/2006 01:14 AM EST

It looks like a video game, maybe. Something like Zelda with lots forests? Metropolis or something. I'm reaching, I know.

Chestnuts roasted by Todd @ 08/05/2006 01:17 AM EST

Early MTV with REALLY bad reception or a video game dying.

Comic-con 2006.

This is awesome - I've never won anything before!!

Chestnuts roasted by gramsci @ 08/05/2006 02:53 AM EST

Looks to me like a picture of a body of water with perhaps a beach in the background/ foreground and maybe some boats out in the water. I lack the imaging tools to play with color too much.Whatever it is, then I'll be damned if I know how it ended up like that.

Chestnuts roasted by Tak @ 08/05/2006 03:28 AM EST

It's a robot.

Chestnuts roasted by Davy @ 08/05/2006 03:53 AM EST

Hmmm. Is it Mac from the hilarious yet heart rending and Coca-Cola laden, "Mac & Me".

Only, you know. Fucked up a bit.

Matt, I really don't think you should fuck around with the Videodrome.... seriously...

Long Live the New Flesh.

I wish I had thought of Wonka's joke.

Chestnuts roasted by The Manimal @ 08/05/2006 09:21 AM EST

Scrambled Weather Channel. It's one of those digital images where a big green swirly thing in the middle of blue represents a tropical storm.

Chestnuts roasted by Hey I'm Jeff @ 08/05/2006 10:04 AM EST

I agree with Kris... TOM SELLECK

BTW, check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1tz1wzZ0qk

Did you know that Tom Selleck was the original choice to play Indy Jones? But the 'stache had already committed to Magnum P.I.

A Toy Boat in a bathtub.

Chestnuts roasted by MDH @ 08/05/2006 10:51 AM EST

It does kind of look like scrambled porn, actually. On the left would be the arm, then the woman's side, and in the green bar there it looks like her right breast.

Chestnuts roasted by X @ 08/05/2006 10:57 AM EST

Since it's not Mechaneck that only leaves the possibilty that it's a casino of some kind.

Chestnuts roasted by dohopoki @ 08/05/2006 11:23 AM EST

An old late 1960s psychadelic rock video on a worn out VHS tape.

I remember back in the late 1980s the Disney Channel was a premium network. Sometimes if you flip the channel it would get unscrambled for a few minutes so you could watch the Raccoons. Too bad it didn't work for the whole program.

And it never worked for porn channels for me, you couldn't even hear the dialogue.

Chestnuts roasted by mjf7583 @ 08/05/2006 11:44 AM EST

My guess: It's a way to get out of doing an actual blog entry. Just kidding Matt (no offense meant at all) My real guess: it's an 80's commercial video tape that got left out in the hot sun during the heat wave.....eh, I got nothin'

Am I the only one seeing Col. Sanders from KFC? Maybe on a bucket of chicken?...Maybe I'm just hungry...

It's either an Alien or Mario...oKay, I don't know.

Chestnuts roasted by dohopoki @ 08/05/2006 03:06 PM EST

It's Sonic the Hedgehog.

Chestnuts roasted by Terminus Est @ 08/05/2006 04:09 PM EST

Late post...but I wanted to list my guess before going to the next day to see what it actually is... to me it looks like Predator-vision.
