Aha! I didn't think it was Photoshopped. It was a pretty cool picture. It reminded me of that famous photo taken in Times Square of the sailor kissing the girl on V-J Day. They were never definitively ID, but a bunch of people have said over the years they were the ones in the photo.

Actually, the nurse in the picture was identified and just recently passed away at an advanced age. It's the sailor who was never ID'd for sure, though some ten different men have claimed to be the one. She certainly didn't know who he was and he zipped off before she could demand he introduce himself.

Personally, I think the media is frothing at the mouth to equate the Vancouver Kiss photo with the iconic Times Square kiss & run sailor pic on her V-J Day. I'm a champion of oral froth, but at the end of the day it will be night. It's only pixels.

Just an observation her but this is the net in a nutshell. We will (or others will as i could care less) know everything there is to know about these two. they will be instant celebrities and get job offers and be invited onto countless shows over something that could simply have been staged to get this reaction. All the things going on in the world and this has been getting headlines left and right.

Okay they were kissing in a riot BFD.

I was just talking with a friend over email about this, and wondering if the Vancouver kiss would ever rise to that status. I doubt it, or it will only for a limited number of people, if only b/c of the sheer number of pictures out there. Will it stand out like the Times Square kiss, or the kid in the napalm picture, or things like that? Unlikely.

They didn't stage this. I think that's been pretty well established. And I don't care about them, either, and have watched absolutely none of the TV coverage (I generally don't turn on the TV during the day, the kids do, and it goes to Sprout). It's not necessarily that they were kissing in a riot; the photographer just happened to capture a moment, which is what they do. But yes, things do go viral quickly, and this did.

This is the first I heard about it, and the last I will care, probably.

There was a riot in Vancouver?

Did somebody forget to make the coffee?

Uh oh, I sense a possible contestant on the next season of Dancing with the Stars! Yeah, it's my favorite show, but I still wonder what the hell the producers at ABC are thinking when they put some of the "stars" on that show.

I had heard about the riot. I had not heard about the making out.

I think we should have a lit reality show. Let's all get together and live in a big house and have all kinds of feuds and affairs and of course most important of all there is sure to be plenty of witty banter.

For the record if this comes to pass I am going on record as saying I will not under any circumstances be Pilot 71's roommate.

Yeah, no Kidding! I'm soooo glad that the Lady Gaga / Stephen Hawking pairing fell through.

Okay now I have this horrible idea running through my head of hearing Hawkins singing poker face!

Thanks Ben!

I like Christopher Walken's version of poker face.
Its weird...even for him.

Party pooper.

If we only get one veto, I'm using it on scouries (his alts are included, I assume).

Can you imagine having to listen to his insane psycho-babble, conspiracy theory bullshit for one night, let alone however long said reality show would last?

Yeah, but we can bind him with duct tape and shove his ass in a closet.

 

[voluptuary_manque]

Well, if we were on an island there would be plenty of deep water around . . . Jus' sayin', yanno.

 

[LettersFromTatyana]

Yeah, I think I'll go with water.

Otherwise it's just a waste of perfectly good duct tape.

 

[lovecraft68]

Duct tape in a house full of erotic authors should only be used for recreational purposes. In which case it would certainly not involve scouries.

Now Emeraldkitten on the other hand

Damn straight! I've seen the stuff he writes

But I think wrapping scouries head to toe in duct tape and shoving him into a closet would be fun recreational exercise.

If you wrap somebody in enough duct tape (think: the giant rolling ball from Raiders of the Lost Ark) you can toss him onto the freeway.

But then he would turn it into a clever storey like;

Oh michchick.... I groaned

or

Ohhh duct tape.... I exclaimed.

damn double posts.
