  1. They’re not kissing. One is ripping the tongue out of the mouth of the other. Rugby is a rough sport don’t cha know.

  2. As the Sea Captain would say, “Arrr…That’ll replace the whale in my nightmares.”

  3. Wish I had not seen it, but glad I didn*t miss it. More culture. French culture. A photographer with money or influence or both. = TG

  4. And trust the French to come up with a ‘yellow’ jersey for the lead bike in the tour de France.
    Appropriate.

  5. I (foolishly) clicked the link and now I am wondering…….
    Will the warranty on my LCD monitor be void if I run it through the dishwasher to sanitize it?

  6. Well.there goes a waste of money eating out.
    I just got my “ROI” across my keyboard……

  7. Er, uh, seems that rugby has changed a bit since I last watched it twenty or thirty years ago.

  8. One good turn deserves another:
    Hillary Clinton shows cleavage:
    There was cleavage on display Wednesday afternoon on C-SPAN2. It belonged to Sen. Hillary Clinton.
    She was talking on the Senate floor about the burdensome cost of higher education. She was wearing a rose-colored blazer over a black top. The neckline sat low on her chest and had a subtle V-shape. The cleavage registered after only a quick glance. No scrunch-faced scrutiny was necessary. There wasn’t an unseemly amount of cleavage showing, but there it was. Undeniable.
    It was startling to see that small acknowledgment of sexuality and femininity peeking out of the conservative — aesthetically speaking — environment of Congress.
    Pics and video of Hillary Clinton’s cleavage:

  9. Ahh, the French Follies. One way to separate the men from the umm…., er…., umm….. I give up!

  10. I so hope that whole thing was a photo-shopped image, all of the “participants” actually being computer generated images. Imagine if you were a straight model and you had to do that. They couldn’t pay me enough to ever pose like that.

  11. Sure they could. A million bucks, if everyone knows it’s a joke? There are three possibilities, Schwarze. It is possible that the shot is just an extreemly lucky camera angle, but the odds are against it. It could be a staged event for deliberate comedic effect. Or, it could be a digitally constructed post-hoc phenomenon. Whichever way, the liklihood that it is anything like the intented interpretation is vanishingly small.
    That’s why I wrote A’men, because I could have meant abdomen, acumen, agnomen, albumen, alumen, amtmen, archflamen, or a number of other possibilities.

  12. as a rugby player I take offence at disrespect being shown to this most honorable sport. I’m not going to open up the link again so I don’t know what this photo is trying to promote but whoever is responsible should be ashamed. disgusting.

  13. as a rugby player I take great offence at the disrespect of this most honorable sport. I don’t know what this photo is trying to promote, and I’m sure as hell not opening the link again, but whoever is responsible should be ashamed (although I’m sure they are just the opposite). disgusting.

  14. :the fact the possibility this could be ‘shopped”
    No way. The hookers (really) are leaving the ball completely alone. That would never happen in a Rugby game. I’ve played the game, both my daughters played.
    Nope. Setup shot. Guaranteed.
    Double ewww. Bet the kissers eat hot dogs with a knife and fork like dat Canadiene pussyboy Stephane.
    Double eeewwwww.

  16. The comments remind me of the episode of “All In The Family” when Archie had a heart to heart with his tough guy friend in the pub. Psychiatrist friend says it also runs in biker gangs. Disrespect for women a sure sign. But I’m getting too serious.
    This was unexpected!

  17. Not to put too fine a point on it, Wannabe, yet speaking as a professional computing scientist with over 35 years of experience in the field, please let me note that we practitioners of the art have been thinking about the various problems that digital technology presents to forensic, jurisprudential, and indeed, bibliographic and archeologic evidence, for some decades now. To the best of my knowledge we don’t have a generic solution to the problems, at least not yet.
    But then, we humans have never had, have we; we’re always losing and faking evidence, aren’t we? That’s at least partly why we keep admiring ancient things that don’t even work any more. Or at least, I know I do. Undoubtedly we will eventually muddle through it, as we always have, modulo a few tens of millions dead here or there.
    Am I wrong? And if not, the ultimate question then becomes: do you think it is principally your job to save those tens of millions, or is your first concern to not be one of them? After all, if you are one of them, and so you are dead, how can you help them? Don’t look at me, I’m just askin’ questions.
    (PS: I may be dead, but I took ten of them with me, may be a valid counter argument under certain extreme circumstances, depending on whether or not it’s a valid counter argument.)

  18. Oops. Also sorry for the double post. Something weird going on tonight, either that or I am the idiot Andrew thinks I am.

  19. So just to summarize the comments thus far:
    Texas Canuck: “Barf!”
    ZiLLa: “Barf!”
    notasocialist: “Barf!”
    ‘been around the block: “Yuck!”
    Liz J: “Repugnant!”
    bdogginit: “Disgusting!”
    missing link: “Ewwwwwwwwww!”
    geothermal: “Double eeewwwww!”
    borderguardwannabe: “The Government!”

  20. There’s something we’re all forgetting, it must be a Gay rugby team they like to kiss and grope in public, they are so proud, so emotional.
    May as well continue with the fun, any thoughts on a name for the team?

  21. To all the offended Rugby players.
    I got some ice time coming up!
    Dudes relax!!
    Or we can put the boot to it!
    Your choice!
    I beleve this was a toung in cheek report.

  22. I don’t know about you guys, but I immediately thought the entire thing was CGI. Played any games on the XBox 360 lately? Some of the frames from modern video games come close to being this good. There’s just something about the feel of the pic that reminded me of an XBox football game.

  23. Sorry — can’t post what I think. The Canadian thought police might fine and have me extradited. Have a nice day…Orlin from Marquette.
