I have a questions for whoever picked the photo illustrating this news story.

Was that intentional?

Ps. Can't deal with a *headesk* today. Let's look at puppies instead. Or Kirsten Dunst singing "Turning Japanese." I dunno. Something happy.

It does seem pretty "tongue in cheek".

Here is a headline that might also make one wonder.

Hmmm. Doesn't look very coincidental. Tackily appropriate? Offensively on-topic? [looking at photo and furrowing brow]

Yeah, there are a thousand other photos that would've been better picks for the article. A not-so-subtle reminder of how every image we see in mass media is put together with the notion that we'll see/read it and get the idea that its creators wanted us to get.

Thanks for the link, CC--it'll make great discussion material for my students.
