We need an ANTIDOTE!

Photo of Obama and Spain's First Children Causes a Stir September 25, 2009 04:53 PM ET | Paul Bedard, Alex Kingsbury | Permanent Link | Print

Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero was in for a rude shock if he thought the same privacy conventions that shield the children of public figures in his home country would extend to the United States. Zapatero brought his wife and two daughters along on his trip to New York for the opening session of the United Nations General Assembly, and on Wednesday he and his family posed for a photograph with President Obama at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The photo caused a huge stir in Spain because the public had never before seen an image of its leader's children, ages 13 and 16, who appeared in the photograph sporting slightly gothic attire.
The photo, credited in the Spanish press to White House photog Lawrence Jackson, was posted on the State Department Flickr site, according to sources. Conservative news outlets in Spain prominently featured the photograph of the Socialist leader's family—with the faces slightly pixilated to comply with the country's aforementioned privacy laws concerning minors—in their papers and on their websites. The conservative El Mundo newspaper put the photograph on Page A1. The liberal El Pais, meanwhile, ran a detailed explainer about why it was not publishing the offending image.
After a request by the Spanish government, the White House removed the photograph from the State Department website. But it was too late. Many Spanish in-boxes today were flooded with a series of E-mails with the photograph—obviously altered—depicting the two teens as members of the Addams Family, the band KISS , and J. R. R. Tolkien's troll-like Orcs.
She looks familiar?
I don’t like the black tights/pantyhose. Fashion faux pas.
I think that she’d look nice without pantyhose or a neutral color. Maybe it’s a European thing?
Hopefully the White House learned something and the parents learned something. I’m sorry for the kids. Maybe their folks won’t drag them somewhere they don’t want to be or photographed if they don’t want to. I don’t like to get photographed and most of my pictures show that. I remember what it was like to feel awkward as a teen. I grew up hand-me-downs and I sewed a lot. I was always getting made fun of for my clothes. I just don’t understand their parents. But then I’m not a socialist either........
self esteem issues so obvious
I don't think it is, I think the mother and the daughters are anarchists!

It just gets better and better
There is something sort of Hypnotizing in that.
Creepy. It’s the same smile as the Addams family pics.
He does look like a cardboard cutout. His smile looks photoshopped on his face.

Bless their hearts!
would that constitute the “violence” that “chrissy matthews” was warning about? will they get a visit from the SS? ;) or is it protected “free speech”?
The girls look like nice young girls. The parents on the other hand............
So who are Gomez, Morticia, Lurch, Uncle Fester...?
A possessed Mr. Bean
No wonder the Leftist Zapatero didn’t want pictures of his family shown to the public.
What a horror show! Literally!
Of course, I also understand that 98% of the people who read those post have no idea what it is about and most likely think I lost my mind.
And when Charles Nelson Reilly died, I posted a link to the lyrics for Serrated Edge and had no replies.
I was a bit disappointed.
Just me on a hilltop with 15 girls,
In a Nelson Reilly orgy that'll make your hair curl.
Yeah, Charles Nelson Reilly, he's our man,
He can't heal the sick with the touch of his hand,
He can't walk on water, can't make wine flow;
Just another greedy actor on the late late show!
The Milkmen were one of my favorite bands, I saw them play at least 20 times and hung out with them in Austin when they were recoding Bucky Fellini and Beelzebubba. They put on great shows.
In college I had turned on a bunch of younger students on to the Milkmen and one night, very late I got a phone call and was told that some kid was holed up in his dorm room, tripping acid and trying desperately to discover the deeper meaning of Dead Milkmen songs.
I went to his dorm room, and while he did not know me, he let me in believing that I was somehow a Milkmen guru. We listened to a few songs,”Earwig” five or six times and I talked him down and explained the deeper meaning of Dead Milkmen’s lyrics.
“The Dead Milkmen’s lyrics have a very deep meaning and that is to make fun of everyone in the world except for me and of course you.”
