1. spoiler

At first glance this looks like a 'disturbingly' graphic picture, but if you take a closer look you will see it is actually just a very awkward optical illusion.

The photo, which shows a bald man stooping down to give his baby a kiss, has attracted more than three million views on social media site Imgur and thousands of comments.

It initially prompted confusion for many viewers, who mistook the father's hairy shoulders, bald head and left ear for his bottom.

But many then took to social media to express their relief after realising it was actually just a tender family moment.

13. I definitely had to do a double take on this one.

I saw the butt on first glance.

20. If he is trying to kiss the baby, then why is he trying to poop on it?

That is gross.

29. I saw a man kissing his kid.

Only after reading your post did I realize that it could be seen as something else.

33. I first saw a mass of hairy butt cheeks. Had to read article to see it was a man kissing baby

[Scootaloo]

2. What's disturbing about a dude kissing his kid?

[LiberalElite]

3. (SPOILER ALERT) I see it

it's a man kissing the infant.

[juxtaposed]

4. it's a 3 butt cheek ass

[2naSalit]

8. That's what I was trying to figure out

... what to call the first things I saw when the real image became clear.

You made me laugh out loud!

22. Which means a dual exhaust!

31. That was actually a Monty Python sketch. A man claimed to have 3 butt cheeks, but refused to prove

it on air after the big announcement, "And now, a man with three butt cheeks!"

The announcer was upset, "Do you expect us to just take your word that you have three butt cheeks?"

Too bad the claimant didn't think to provide a picture like this.

5. I'm not sure why this would cause a big stir.

It only takes a second or two to recognize what it actually is.

12. Because internet outrage

is the thing to do.

[whitefordmd]

6. I'm not even sure this qualifies as an optical illusion. eom

[Ed Suspicious]

7. I got it, but absolutely saw something else at first glance.

[johnp3907]

9. I see a shirtless guy kissing a baby.

What's the illusion? What am I supposed to see?

[immoderate]

10. A giant, malformed, heirloom tomato!

Am I right?

[Liberal_in_LA]

11. a heirloom tomato

[baldguy]

15. My first thought was "potato"...

[Warren DeMontague]

14. WHO TH' FUCK LETS BIB FORTUNA NEAR THEIR BABEHS?!?

[rurallib]

16. I think I am beginning to understand how aome people

see Jesus in oily water.

I must lack the imagine gene.

[Snobblevitch]

17. I actually got it right away.

I have never met a person who has a nose hangimg off their left asscheek. Plus, why would a beautiful women (or even a homely woman) hold a baby's legs like that with an anus/butthole so close to her face. I think it is a beautiful, loving photo.

[Thor_MN]

25. To be fair, have you inspected the asscheeks of everyone you have met?

[Snobblevitch]

35. No, but I have seen most of their noses.

[petronius]

18. If Hieronymus Bosch had been a photographer...

[annabanana]

19. !Bingo!. .very good. . . n/t

[MisterP]

21. that's one for Awkward Family Photos right there

[Eleanors38]

23. It does have a certain Rembrandt/Bosch quality.

[Rex]

24. It is a bald headed guy kissing his kid...what am I supposed to see?

[Kalidurga]

26. Potatoes

[Rex]

30. Those are some hairy potatoes.

Blech.

[Kalidurga]

32. I've seen worse

[Rex]

34. Me too, I still don't see anything 'bad'.

But that is okay, whatever illusion is there was overwritten by seeing reality first. I guess I cannot go backward.

[bunnies]

27. Omg.

[Sanity Claws]

28. I don't see any optical illusion

After they finish this tender family moment, I hope someone hangs up those clothes piled up in the corner.

[displacedtexan]

36. The nose was the giveaway for me.

Unless hairy butts have noses, I'm pretty sure that's a guy kissing a baby.
