Strongbad from Homestar Runner would love this! Real photo, not quite safe for work :-)

A Stanley Cup lost.


A nation in turmoil.


A city in flames.


...Riot Nookie!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

I think this will be one of those iconic photos of Canadian history.

I freaking love that photo. It's just gorgeous.

Though I saw yesterday somewhere, the follow up photos including from the helicopters and it actually looks like the girl was hurt and the guy was reassuring her/helping her up instead of - well, what it looks like.

Oh. I didn't realize that. That makes me feel like an asshole for posting it then as Riot Nookie if she was actually hurt.

If you are, so am I. :) I sent it to a bunch of people laughing at it the other night.

It's still a great photo, and the girl wasn't badly hurt (there was an article in one of the Vancouver papers about them that I saw last night) so I think it totally should go down in history.

I mean, seriously, she gets hurt, the guy stays there comforting her while the riot police approach? How romantic. :D

That is awesome!

It is a great shot but I feel like an asshole for posting it as Riot Nookie when later information shows it was more "Riot Roadkill".

Well, we can dream, can't we?
