Warning: There is profanity in it (so careful hopping in), but there are also good points being made about the photo in question. Our personal take: It’s funny, but it’s funny in that “I can’t believe they actually took that photo” sort of way. Ultimately, as a culture we need to have a debate about whether we should necessarily use...
