Photo of Spanish PM’s goth daughters causes stir

The picture (see here), taken at a reception given by President Obama for world leaders attending the UN General Assembly, caused a huge stir because no one in Spain has ever seen Prime Minister Zapatero’s goth daughters before.
Not that there’s anything wrong with being a Goth. Really, there isn’t. But Zapatero prevents the Spanish media from running any photographs of his kids to protect their privacy.
His office called the White House to remove the image from the US State Department’s Flickr page and the West Wing withdrew it.
But it was too late!
Many in-boxes were swamped with a series of e-mails with the picture—obviously altered—depicting the two teenagers as members of the Addams Family and The Volturi.

"The one in the middle looks a bit .... er ..... slow in the head." Which one? The one with the red tie or the one with the black dress?

They don’t appear as though they have to run for much food. Honestly, does being goth have something to do with anti-exercise. I only ask because I see lots of chubby goth girls with out much self esteem.

This is the guy who took over after AQ bombed the trains and lead Spain into full retreat. I guess he has about as much backbone dealing with his three women?

Every one of these pictures has the “Joker” wearing the same smile. Needs to be shopped.

I think the anti-Christ carries with him an implicit guarantee of competence, even if it's a malevolent competence...Zapatero then cannot be the anti-Christ ;)

Is Kenya in Europe?
Serious senor Zapatoes in a few shots looks a bit like vampire (I am not joking - creepy). The wife(man) and devilish daughters are also very creepy. Not just Goth but creepy.

I remember back in the 80s some nut preacher speculated that King Juan Carlos was the anti-christ.
Well maybe to Chavez, he is. ;)
