Looking for a photo

[Tigranes]

So I'm doing something, and I need a photo.

 

I remember that it was very famous, in fact 'iconic'. It was a frontal, full-body shot of a soldier, possibly American, holding a dead, naked black child in his arms.

 

My memory keeps saying "no it was an ASTRONAUT not a soldier", but who knows why the hell it's doing that.

 

It's not much, but it was just that famous, the simple, 'understated' photograph of holding that limp dead child in his arms.

 

So... anyone?

Would help if you knew what general period it was from.

The horrible thing is that this rings a bell. I will try to see if I can't find something.

[Tigranes]

I'm pretty sure it's Vietnam or post-Vietnam. It wasn't one of those old b&w photos and the soldier uniform, I am pretty sure, is the modern 'guerilla' green stuff.

 

Zero degree frontal view, head to toe of a soldier. Soldier's not looking down crying at the dead child or anything like that, just looks straight ahead. That was what made it so powerful.

 

Trying to think of more details but...

I was out looking for that photo and ended up on this site:

Oh my god, thanks for the link - the technology articles are pure gold considering that they call themselves "IT-professionals."

 

Ubuntu/Linux:

The Linux nerds are upset that some people have faster computers than others, so this new feature takes processing power from fast computers and donates them to people who have slower computers.

 

To make matters worse, in order to install an application you must be ?root? which entails memorizing a series of confusing passwords. By contrast Windows allows any user to install the applications they need to do their work ? a wise productivity gain that endears the flexible NT platform to IT departments the world over.

 

Finally we notice that Ubuntu Linux is the first OS to come bundled with software that runs Bit-torrent: As we previously reported this is software used by European pirates to rip off American industry and steal bandwidth from telcos to distribute porn.

 

Linux is great for calculating how much hemp-based tofu it might take to fill your bio-gas-powered eco-dome, but for all serious jobs you need a serious operating system such as Microsoft Windows.

 

Linux is utterly un-American, linux is harmful to our society, it’s unsafe and it’s basically just Russian spyware! No true American will ever even consider using anything else then the good old Windows!

 

I just recently found out that there is actually a Satanic edition of the Linux game called: “Ubuntu”.

 

I have tried to download and install this game on my Windows Vista but it didn’t work. I downloaded 4.3GB of junkware for nothing.

 

 

Unnamed sources though say that the goal in this Ubuntu game is to hunt and kill Christians.

 

 

 

WiFi:

A Wi-Fi base-station is more-usually called an ‘airport’, [b]the first ever Airport was made by Apple computer because they needed a more effective method of distributing liberal pro-abortion videos around their Cupertino campus.[/b] According to leading scientists, having an Airport in your home could expose your children to harmful radiation.

 

When African evangelicals called to ask what to do with OLPC laptops which have been corrupted by pornography, [b]my simple advice was to burn every affected device, plus any that may have been within WiFi - range of infected machines.[/b] I explained that porn is like a virus and WiFi provides unlimited means of infection. Sadly the children are now without their laptops, but on the positive side, none of them will ever again be subjected to the temptation of an unfiltered WiFi connection.

 

Apple:

Playing music [on a MAc] though is a problem. Apple does not deliver their operating system with the Windows Media Player.

 

Once the private domain of sinister closet-dwelling liberals, the growth of WiFi means that they can bring their obscene pornography into any location. This liberalwas caught teaching children how to surf for porn in a high-school playground.

 

Games/Gaming:

 

Unicorns are one of the most mysterious of the creatures described in the Holy Bible, they are enchanting creatures beloved of our children, however any child who sets foot in this virtual “statue-park” will find themselves brutally sodomized by a sex-crazed monster. Young girls who submit to this defilement are rewarded by birthing a “baby unicorn”. This is only one of the ways that 2nd life encourages kids into a life of fornication and bestiality.

 

An image of Picachu “Evolving”, from the Pokemon TV Hentai series. Whe this show was first broadcast in Japan, many kids had violent convulsions. The Pokemon-people said it was just “epilepsy”, but knowing what I know now about this show I suspect that it was demonic posession.

 

 

[b]Metapod: is one of the rarest and most powerful Pokemons.[/b] It is surely no coincidence that it is crescent shaped, like the crescent-moon the Muslims worship. This is burka-clad pokeman is an advert for children to turn away from Jesus Christ, as the player who can evolve the most Pokemons into Islamofascist Metapods is at an advantage.

 

Jigglypuff: The only pokeman to be “gay” and “out” - [b]Jigglypuff’s trademark move is to sing songs which entice characters into a drug-like trance of sexual debauchery.[/b] This ultra-liberal pokeman says “It’s Okay to be Gay”.

 

Video games systems like Nintendo’s “Playstation” are marketed at kids.

Congratulations. You just won the most off-topic post of the week.

Don't worry - It's a joke site..

[cronicler]

Are you sure? It is a bit less aggressive than the crap I see hosted over here but... :

[Walsingham]

Yeah, it's a joke site.

 

Back on topic, I can imagine such a picture, but I'm damned if I've actually seen one. Sorry I can't help. In fact, since I am often hunting for military photos I'm surprised I don't know this one.

[Tigranes]

Yeah, it was really famous (a Pullitzer even? though I might be confusing that with the naked Vietnamese child one), but grah. I've sifted through hundreds of disgusting pics and I still can't find it. I just know a lot more about what human bodies look partially blown up, now.
