I've read once somewhere that a lot of these weird photos used for demotivators came from challenges in GISHWHES.

2011 to 2022 though, and I remember this picture (and similar) popping up while I was in high school a couple+ of years prior, so that doesn't line up.

I love that the weirdness comes from a contest that originated from Castiel trying to get a People's Choice Award for Supernatural 😂
