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.

  1. It does seem pretty "tongue in cheek".

  2. Here is a headline that might also make one wonder.

  3. 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.

Because of a recent ton of spam and weird insulting comments from a brand-new poster, I'm putting in comment moderation for a bit. I'm planning to do comment moderation "Ms. Kitty Style," as in, with a very light touch and kicking only off-topic and unreasonably insulting posts.
