# Mainly it's just this picture
it's just that little bit too far for even this site's advanced sense of post-modernism to disassociate it from genuine suffering. Don't worry, you're definitely not the first, but steer clear of this one in future, ta. :)

# Hmm
If this pic is out of bounds, then I suggest the Tavistock Square bus pic is too. It's the only pic that remotely offends me. This question is though... where would it end if we declared pics beyond the pale?

# It would end in chaos and rioting
as the best things always do.

I think it's the simple fact that the photo is probably the most singular representation of how much suffering actually results from the 'collateral damage' of war. There's no other image I can think of that is quite so potent at reminding us just how fucking stupid and despicable we can sometimes be as a species.
