Do you find this photo offensive ?

[DigitalDrifter]

This ripoff of U.S. Marines planting Old Glory on Iwo Jima was actually staged and photo taken ten years ago. However with the recent SCOTUS decision, it's been all over the internet.

I find it offensive to mess with such an iconic moment in the history of the U.S.

AND YES I AM AWARE THE ICONIC ROSENTHAL PHOTO ITSELF IS A REENACTMENT FROM AN EARLIER FLAG RAISING.

No...

I find it typical for the society we live in today and remind me more of a Seth MacFarlane type of skit.

 

[ScienceRocks]

What filth.

I believe in the male/female family and that is the only that that is nature. Fuck anything else.

 

[Mr. H.]

I think it's disrespectful to Marines and Rosenthal's legacy. Perhaps his estate should sue.

Other than that, it's our new modern world now.

Certainly not the first time an iconic moment was parodied, or altered. This is one though, I think they should leave alone.

 

[my2¢]

More saddened than offended, to me it exhibits poor taste and disrespect.

 

[Zander]

Looks fucking gay to me......

 

[Moonglow]

Nice mountain tops...

If you do find it offensive, they own you.

But then, you fools are constantly looking for some reason to get all offended and junk.

I can't understand why the fat gheys are not represented...

Yeah. And where's the shirtless gay women in that picture?

 

[TheOldSchool]

It's a picture that's meant to shock people. There are millions of those. Get over it.

Plus it was taken 10 years ago after the Christian right had swept republicans back into power after they ran on a platform that appealed to evangelicals and their hatred of gays.

It's disrespectful, but that's par for the course when it comes to progressive America.

Damn. A seriously sober post from you.

I'll drink to that.

As a veteran ... No it doesn't.
You can copy greatness, or parody it ... But there is no way in Hell it will ever mean the same thing.

But I'm not fat...I'm big boned...now you know what they meant by a hung jury....

 

[S.J.]

Not offensive, just laughable.

See, there you go bitchin' again...
