A photograph that is unplanned and immediate

a person with a camera at Mardi Gras is planning on immediate nekkid pictures plain and simple,this guy who took the pic is no different than the people caught groping in the pic....truely sad,but good post!

[codebreaker]

No but interestingly enough, Clinton is in a lot of the photos submitted for the awards.

Too many far better amateur photos of 09/11 ... can't let the average citizen get the best of the "pros", ya know. (wink)

[codebreaker]

A real man would have jumped down and helped instead of taking a picture.

In my opinion the photgrapher should have been arrested.

Me too, but look at it this way. Years from now, the image of the firemen raising that flag at WTC will still be seen everywhere. I'd prefer that to some award handed out subjectively.

[codebreaker]

There are 38 pages of images competing in the same category and some are pictures at the firefighters funerals.

Interesting in the liberal news release that they defend the decision to block out the woman's identification, like they are princes for obscuring her identity..

[fella]

Just remember that it was this same sort of media people who were caught redhanded sneaking terrorists out of Arafat's HQ and then complained about their rights when arrested.

[Wondervixen]

This is all just SICK...She told them NO and they pull a CLINTON and help themselves. It'll take us decades to erase the damage that sack of Arkansas pigshit did to our society in eight years!

[codebreaker]

I'd prefer not having sexual assualts being recorded by cameras and that sad piece of sh*t cameraman to do something about it instead of snapping a damn picture ...

[codebreaker]

Exactly, remember this is what journalists reward at the core..not families at firefighters funerals but issues to fit the liberal agenda.

What a joke. That picture is awful...how in the world did it win an award? There is nothing in that image that deserves an award. These people who judge these contests are SICK - very sad - pathetic

[Aggie Mama]

That photo is not rated PG. I wanted to vomit looking at that picture. The smiles on the faces of those men are evil. Not one is trying to help her, they're just trying to finger her. Tells you a lot about human nature.

[RGSpincich]

Be sure every one of those animals get a copy. They can show it to their kids.

[codebreaker]

I believe that is a black woman groping a breast in the top middle portion of the screen..these people in the photo should be identified and thrown into jail along with the camerman.
