# please
I hate it when people use that picture, it's never ever funny.
Thank you for letting me voice my personal opinion.

# don't remove it - personally I don't think any image is beyond humour
maybe just make it a linky for people that don't have the same view

# don't worry
you didn't know!
and it's not like it's the first time someone's used that picture. Some people just find it upsetting.

Anyway we can all comfort ourselves with the thought of the ace work Kim Phuc is now doing with that Peace/Forgivenessy/Anti-war foundation thingie.

# I'm sorry too,
and I said it was just a personal opinion. you all go ahead if you want.
I'm a bit sensitive like that. I don't even watch scary movies cos I can't cope.

# While wondering who Kim Phuc was
I found out that the guy who took the photo, Nick Ut, put his camera away instantly after taking it and took her to hospital, thus saving her life.

Nice little tale to end the (normal persons) working day there.
