| Awkward MORMON Family Photos |

I think we can all agree that this family is Mormon. o Is this type of family portrait common? |
Were the kids photoshopped out? |
They are all corpses. It’s a Mormon version of those Victorian death photos. |
Ronan, FTW. |
Why are they all staring at someone that is not their spouse? Also, waaaay too much touching going on there. |
The staring thing is a lame photographer trick to try and make it look like they are having a spontaneous conversation. It’s usually used when they look horrible staring at the camera. And yes, they absolutely have to be LDS. |
They have to be LDS. This is a classic awkward photo. Just terrible |
I didn’t know Professor Lupin was Mormon! But there he is, front and centre. |
What they need is a pile of fries and a quart of ketchup. |
They are not Mormon. The guy in the front row is not wearing a tie. (And don’t even get me started on his moustache.) |
Last Lemming, I think that the guy in front is wearing one of the old, Elvis-style jumpsuits that people used to wear in the temple. |
Hey, where’s Dad? |
It was pretty gutsy to take a camera in and do a family photo before the endowment session started. |
o Is this type of family portrait common? Thank the Good Lord, no. o Will we really have poufy hair in heaven? No. this is a classic example of “outer darkness hair.” See, especially the hair on the seated woman on the right side. It’s particularly disturbing and may be the result of devil worship. It’s one of the punishments of being a son of perdition that you spend eternity with a pompadour. Terrestial hair and celestial hair are far superior. There is no body hair whatsoever in the telestial kingdom (see, precise definition of “TK Smoothies”). o If you were the stylist for this picture, would you have encouraged everyone to remove their glasses, since our perfected eyes will not need them (fingers crossed)? I would have encouraged them to put bags over their heads, since no one with any degree of righteousness will ever look like this after the second coming. The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, will not permit it. o Why didn’t the family request the pithier and more hopeful phrase: ‘Families are Forever’? “Families are Forever” is factually inaccurate. Especially for this family. Grandma looks like she’s about to make a break for it. That’s why they’re holding onto her. The kids already fled the scene in horror. In short, it doesn’t look good. |
I’d be the guy who showed up in a blue shirt. |
It’s the Brady Bunch, finally released from their squares. |
DKL: They don’t do jumpsuits in the temple anymore? When did that happen? |
The guy in the jumpsuit down front looks like Stan from the movie “IT”. |
There’s an odd woman out who doesn’t have a partner to stare at, which seems, well, awkward. |
This reminds me so much of an LDS cartoon (by either Pat Bagley or Calvin Grondahl) that shows three adult couples, all looking the same age and all dressed in white, arriving in the celestial kingdom. The receptionist (behind a desk), looks up and asks, “So…which of you are the parents?” |
I just can’t stop looking at the noses… Those are some huge beaks, man. The photographer probably unintentionally captured these triangular protrusions in their most emphatic position, the profile. Showing probably a full 45 to 48 percent of the surface of the nose. They’re like almost perfect 45 degree angles. Round faces pointy noses… They could lay prone in the sun and you could use them as sundials. |
Whatever they did with the photo, I hope they whipped the photographer and then chased him out of town. |
I guess obesity transcends death and resurrection… |
Hmmmmm. I seem to recall that this “portrait” is an advertisement for clothing. I am skeptical that it is a portrait. |
#23, If this was a commercial photo for an ad, I hope the company got their money back from the photographer. The photo actually comes from this web site: http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/ That’s where I originally saw it. Though, that may not be the first online occurance. #18, I count 1 unattached man, and 2 unattached women. Ostensibly, the older lady in the middle is the widowed matriarch. |
There’s a comment on another web site that explains the picture: Most Mormons are used to being mocked by non-believers, but I hope the family doesn’t read some of the above comments here at MM. |
