1. I can see this on the cover off Time Mag

or something!

2. Yeah. Ya know, we're going to have a find an enemy that's

not so damned cute

:swooooon:

[get the red out]

14. Very attractive people

I have always thought Iranian people tended to be quite attractive over-all. The young man in the picture is a doll, isn't he?

3. American Naive Romanticism

Apparently, nothing gets between him and his Calvin's.

7. I immediately thought that looked like some romanticized CK ad.

4. Does anyone know who made the poster?

I love it!

[Stephanie]

5. The tag says Gothman

But I'm not finding him online - there's a filmmaker but not sure if that's him.

6. Does this remind anyone else

of Obama's 'Hope' poster? That was taken from a photograph too. Let's hope this becomes just as iconic.

13. Yeah, I think that'ws what the thread title was supposed to imply

16. *facepalm* My brain was clearly taking a vacation

Didn't make the connection at all. :blush:

9. Correct

Thanks for adding that.

11. Ouch.

I've hit by rubber bullets before, briefly once, and I thought that was bad. That was nothing.

[comrade snarky]

15. That hurts

But it doesn't look like he regrets a damn thing.

20. I was just getting ready to post the same pic.

Powerful imagery when you put the two photos together.

10. I think it's Iranian women who are the heart of this.

There are a lot of them in the crowds demonstrating.

That is unique in that area of the world.

12. YES! The look of *NO FEAR* in their faces as they rush to protect people

being beaten by police is amazing!!! To see women in that part of the world act out so strongly is really a strong statement!

edited to add pic from Jackeens' post...

19. those women are incredibly beautiful. I love them.

17. Good lord, it's a Calvin Klein ad.

Talk about product placement!

[EFerrari]

18. Nice product placement.

It's hilarious that in 48 hours, this election has a design and a face where our poor elections had zip, nada, nothing and for months.
