These are some of the 1,075 photographs taken by Taryn Simon who spent 5 days last year taking pictures of cargo seized or detained from express mail and passengers entering the USA from abroad at Kennedy airport. All the photos were shot for the project “Contraband”. Some of these counterfeit and prohibited items are weird, others are just hilarious.

These posters contain some of the strangest and bizarre propaganda of all times. Some deal with the military, some deal with everyday life, and they are all very old and rather funny. Remember that loose lips sink ships.
A pretty huge quantity of photos is taken during the most special day of your life and you may find some awesomely weird, funny and awkward shots among them, whether they were made on purpose or not. Anyway, here are some of the best of these pictures.
There’s a little bit o f everything in this selection, but what gathers them is that they all are related in one way or another to school: from awkward yearbook photos to funny party pics and many others, you’ll see it all!
These are certainly some weird looking plant and animals that are found it nature. To say they are unusual is an understatement. There is only a couple that I recognize at all.
Midwife toad
The male midwife toad carries fertilised eggs on its back to protect them from predators.
These have to be some of the weirdest wedding cakes ever. Some of them don’t even appear to be real cakes. I suppose as long as the bride and groom like them that’s all that matters. They are very interesting but weird.

These people are just plain weird. Regardless if it is the makeup, costumes, or what they are doing, they are really strange but really funny. There doesn’t seem to be any special event going on. These people are just being themselves, which sometimes isn’t the best choice.
This has to be some of the strangest websites for dating ever. I realize that everyone needs a way to meet their soul mate but these websites take it to the extreme. I guess it is true that there really is someone for everyone.
These sports posters are from the 1980s and 1990s and are just a little weird. Sports figures posing as gangsters or superheroes seem a little unsettling.

Hamburgers and French fries are probably the most permanent food you can find on earth. It’s proved by New York photographer Sally Davies who has held a unique project of taking photos of the same hamburger and French fries every day for 137 days. Even after 4.5 months this food looks almost the same as on the very first day of the project. It’s unbelievable and so weird!
Laws about sex are pretty much the same all around the world (intercourse with minors and non-consensual sex are illegal…etc) but there are some extra laws in some countries or states that are very… strange!

A "deviant" 5 years old boy viciously beat his disabled grandmother with several items and then urinated on her back when she tried to escape!
The boy’s mother was arrested on child neglect and incapacitated adult abuse charges because she sat on the couch and watched television while her 58-year old mother was beaten...
iDish is probably the most weird application released for the iPad and iPhone. Even though it looks dumb, it is creative and very original.
This collection shows the weirdest people you can meet on beaches in the USA. These are not hot girls in bikinis, as you might have hoped.
These are the most frightening and weird looking dolls I have ever seen. I would not like to have one of these toys at home, because every time I look at these pictures I have chills running down my spine.
It’s like a Kinder surprise… except the fact that a normal egg is not supposed to have a surprise in it!
Ladies, would you like to carry a sacrificial cat in your hands? There is such a bag, if you would. It is designed by James Piatt from the USA. As for me, all his bags are a bit weird. Still he sells them for up to $989 per unit.
Take a close look at this boiled egg. Even half an hour of boiling didn’t kill weird inhabitants that seem to enjoy being alive.
Some of these donuts are really weird looking, it is even hard to call them donuts…
Well, it seems that different countries have their own perception of how donuts should be :)
Let’s take a look.

Graduation cakes are supposed to be a way of congratulating the graduate. However, as some of the graduation cakes in these photos show, they have a strange way of saying congratulations. Whoever prepared these cakes had a weird sense of humor.
Dogs are awesome creatures, we don’t call them men’s best friends for no reason, but dogs are not always… smart!
Some of them can eat things you could hardly think it is possible to swallow, I’m not talking about poo… no, I’m more thinking about items such as forks, soccer balls… and lots of other crazy things!
Homer Simpson
Some of the toys from this collection made me laugh. Others looked as if they had come alive from a horror movie. What kind of parents would buy such toys to their kids?
People can be very strange but intriguing at the same time. From the weird to the obscene the folk in these photos run the entire gambit. It is no wonder they are so interesting.
