That's the only thing at all strange I can find about the picture, too. Am I missing something?

I don't see anything weird either except the guy with (presumably stuffed) trousers. I don't find the picture amusing either, more like "Uh...okay."

Turban Legend that's what I thought too. As a matter of fact, I didn't even notice the other because I was saying "Hey look! It's Donovan" and then was trying to figure out where in Philadelphia they were.

Has anyone else seen that other picture with the two women at a wedding smiling cutely into the camera, and in the background a guy is casually peeing while holding a beer and chatting with some other guys? The idea is that there's two happy women trying to take a keepsake picture of a fun event they went to, and it's basically ruined by this guy.

I think this could be a similar gag. I can't remember if the other picture was real, but this one looks kind of fake, as in staged.

OR if that really is supposed to be Donovan McNabb, maybe the picture is "priceless" because they have proof of his ginormous schlong?

That photo has been discussed here somewhere, but unfortunately I can't find the thread. However, it was taken at a horse race in Australia and shows, I've been told, typical Aussie sportsgoer behaviour.

Unfounded.

The 'priceless' horse is well and truly still being flogged. It matters not that it was dead some couple of years ago. Some still seem to think it's the 'standard format' for photos which provoke a giggle at someone else's expense.

Old jokes never die.

I tried looking in the Photo Gallery "Archives" section and came up with nothing, but I recall this too. Mostly as we were trying to determine if a guy in the background was peeing or doing something else with his hand.

I remember it distinctly...someone said, "He's having a slash", and I had no idea what "slashing" meant. Ah, to be young and innocent again...
