If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

heard something that may be an urban legend that the person who took that won a nobel prize or some super good award or something for taking that.  They said they didn't step in to help because they were told that they could get diseases if they had any physical contact with the local population and they didn't know if the kid survived and then they killed themselves like a month after winning the award or whatever.

True story.

Johannesburg - Visiting Sudan, a little-known photographer took a picture that made the world weep.  What happened afterward is a tragedy of another sort.  The image presaged no celebration: a child barely alive, a vulture so eager for carrion.  Yet the photograph that epitomised Sudan's famine would win Kevin Carter fame - and hopes for anchoring a career spent hounding the news, free-lancing in war zones, waiting anxiously for assignments amid dire finances, staying in the line of fire for that one great picture.  On May 23, 14 months after capturing that memorable scene, Carter walked up to the dais in the classical rotunda of Columbia University's Low Memorial Library and received the Pulitzer Prize for feature photography.  The South African soaked up the attention.  "I swear I got the most applause of anybody," Carter wrote back to his parents in Johannesburg.  "I can't wait to show you the trophy.  It is the most precious thing, and the highest acknowledgment of my work I could receive."

Carter was feted at some of the most fashionable spots in New York City.  Restaurant patrons, overhearing his claim to fame, would come up and ask for his autograph.  Photo editors at the major magazines wanted to meet the new hotshot, dressed in his black jeans and T shirts, with the tribal bracelets and diamond-stud earring, with the war-weary eyes and tales from the front lines of Nelson Mandela's new South Africa.  Carter signed with Sygma, a prestigious picture agency representing 200 of the world's best photojournalists.  "It can be a very glamorous business," says Sygma's US director, Eliane Laffont.  "It's very hard to make it, but Kevin is one of the few who really broke through.  The pretty girls were falling for him, and everybody wanted to hear what he had to say."

There would be little time for that.  Two months after receiving his Pulitzer, Carter would be dead of carbon-monoxide poisoning in Johannesburg, a suicide at 33.  His red pickup truck was parked near a small river where he used to play as a child; a green garden hose attached to the vehicle's exhaust funneled the fumes inside.  "I'm really, really sorry," he explained in a note left on the passenger seat beneath a knapsack.  "The pain of life overrides the joy to the point that joy does not exist."

So it may or may not be due to the fact that he didn't help that child?

This example of emotive imagery is of child in Uganda holding hands with a missionary. The stark contrast between the two people serves as a reminder of the gulf in wealth between developed and developing countries. Mike Wells, the photographer, took this picture to show the extent of starvation in Africa. He took it for a magazine, and when they went 5 months without printing it, he decided to enter it into a competition. However, Wells has stated that he is against winning a compeition with a picture of a starving boy.

Just look at it for a bit before reading the spoiler/caption.  Incredible photo.

[spoiler]Racing barefooted after kicking off her flip-flops, Cyndie pushes her son Derek Madsen, 10, up and down hallways in the UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento on June 21, 2005, successfully distracting him during the dreaded wait before his bone marrow extraction. Doctors want to determine whether he is eligible for a blood stem cell transplant, his best hope for beating neuroblastoma, a rare childhood cancer, which was diagnosed in November 2004.[/spoiler]

TAIPEI — Residents of Tainan learned a lesson in whale biology after the decomposing remains of a 60-ton sperm whale exploded on a busy street, showering nearby cars and shops with blood and organs and stopping traffic for hours.

The 56-foot-long whale had been on a truck headed for a necropsy by researchers, when gases from internal decay caused its entrails to explode in the southern city of Tainan.

Residents and shop owners wore masks while trying to clean up the spilt blood and entrails.

"What a stinking mess. This blood and other stuff that blew out on the road is disgusting, and the smell is really awful," a BBC News report quoted one Tainan resident as saying.

The sperm whale was being carried by truck through Tainan.

The whale had died on Jan. 17 after it beached itself on the southwestern coast of the island.

Researchers at the National Cheng Kung University in Tainan said enough of the whale remained to allow for an examination by marine biologists.

Once moved to a nearby nature preserve, the male specimen -- the largest whale ever recorded in Taiwan -- drew the attention of locals because of its large penis, measured at some five feet, the Taipei Times reported.

"More than 100 Tainan city residents, mostly men, have reportedly gone to see the corpse to 'experience' the size of its penis," the newspaper reported.

You could even photoshop a jayhawk over the bird and title it "Snake-Bitten!" after a big loss in the tournament or something like that.
