i'll dismiss the cutting theory quickly though. i've done a dissection on an eyeball before. making a clean cut through that tissue even with a scalpel isn't the easiest thing to do, it's much tougher than flesh. if the eyes were too far gone, they simply would have removed the whole thing.

i'm not sure why i've taken such an interest in arguing the authenticity of this pic. haha.

wtf are you talking about? I don't see any cuts to the eyeballs. I've dissected eyes. There is no way these eyes are "cut". I don't get what you're talking about. His right eye looks totally intact and drooping a bit with his right cheek dropped and his left eye is partially covered by his eyelid which is all fucked up. I saw this many MANY years ago on rotten.com and believe it's legit. The eyes look exactly how i'd expect them to look with the structure of the face all fucked up. Not only that, I highly, HIGHLY doubt it's photoshopped. People that say that tend not to even know how to use the program and really back then.. with PS3 or whatever that didn't even have layers. heh. good luck. And it's better than virtually any special fx prop i've seen, definately not the work of students.

I don't think it's a shotgun blast at all though.

That said.. anything can be faked with enough skill time and effort, but it's not naive at all to believe it's real, you just don't have to be the obligatory person that jumps into every single little thread where anything even slightly implausible is posted yelling "fake".
