Default Best present ever?

Please note, despite the fact that this picture IS of some of the flood victims in the US, it has absolutely NOTHING to do with that situation, their colour or anything else so please save your "don't make fun of the victims" comments for someone else. I saw the photo and about a thousand captions popped into my head so I thought I'd share one. If you don't like it... Sorry!

Nothing like taking advantage of the chance of a cheap joke!

Please explain your comment Les, refering to my Disclaimer where necessary. I'd be interested in your interpretation of the picture and caption? I assume you believe that it's mocking the people in New Orleans?

I think it's rather amsuing, maybe even more so if it *is* taken in context of them being victims.

I've already seen the "Hurricaine Relief Fund" banners going up in coffee shops around my area and I'm sick of them already. I will not be guilt-tripped into donating to a disaster that occured naturally, if I give, it will be of my own free will, and to be frank, I don't have any intention of giving anything. The US is a very wealthy country and I think it can quite easilly cough up enough money to help things out, I see no reason why we should have to do so.

Couldn't agree more mate. While I obviously feel sorry for all the victims, I can't think of ANY country less deserving of monetary donations than the US. What possible reason can they have for needing foreign donations when they are easily wealthy enough to cover any costs themselves.

The whole looting thing is funny. I could understand if the Yanks were looting food or water or other essential supplies. But that doesnt seem to be the case





Cos obviously 7 pairs of Nike Airs are what they really need right now!

I'm making no comment on the ethnicity of looters and the correlation of lack of income from anything other than crime or benefits.

Maybe someone should tell them KFC has more fried chicken, might make them stop looting
