The way I figure it, is if I go to the doctors they will just refer me to the hospital, where I will have to sit for hours just for them to confirm it is broken, and say they can't do anything about it.
I did somthing similar a few years back and made the mistake of waiting for hours in the hospital. Might be worth going if you're getting any internal stabbing pains though. :)
not sure what all the fuss is about... maybe you should have put a picture of a kidnapped child or a terrorist attack...

There's a difference between the picture of a child, or a smoking building, and a picture of two bloody corpses. If you don't get that you might want to look up NSFW again. Furthermore, it's hardly 'photoshopped'. It's just TOAP - which is ok if it makes an amusing joke but in this case is a complete waste of bandwith.

Erm, to be honest with you, they don't really show
pictures like this on the news as a matter of course at all, and if they do, regardless of time of day, they will say that the following piece contains pictures of a distressing nature, thus giving people the option to turn over. Linking the picture would be the same thing!

But yet again,
you are ignoring my point about the warning. That video, of which the screencap is not discernible as a dead body, has a guidance warning along the bottom.
So now you're comparing a picture of a child, the carry on films, and two blown up dead bodies? You've got from incongruous to ridiculous.

My point was there's a clear and objective difference between making a distasteful inference and shoving visceral gore down people's throats. You might think that, say, a joke about the twin towers is in bad taste, but it's a different issue to posting images of people killed in the attack.

It depends what you do with it.
Juxtaposing a picture of a war with the banality of Christmas may be a tad sophomoric, but it does have a point. It may not be lolsome, but that's just too bad. It can still be witty.
If you can use a picture of an earthquake to make a comment about the world in a witty way, then you're welcome to give it a go, I'd've thought...

My point was
It's the graphic nature of the image that people are complaining about. I don't think the 'fame' of the event has anything to do with it; if he'd used a gory picture from a more recognisable tragedy the same people would still be complaining in the same way.
(Cassius Krayfloats like a butterfly, stings like a trout,

Sure - I got that point.
I still think that it's what you do with an image that counts in this sort of context. Likely as not there'll be counterexamples. But the original post here was an attempt - I take it - at a black-as-pitch joke about smug middle-class westerners celebrating Christmas. I don't see anything particularly problematic about that.
If you're offended by the image, you've misidentified the problem. The problem is that people are getting mutilated for no good reason, not that there exist photos of the mutilation. The photos, used well, might actually turn out to be a good thing.

If it's done intelligently and for an identifiable reason.

I'll admit that the scorecard tells a bit of a sorry tale for his inexperienced bowlers, but that doesn't mention the lack of support he gave them. SA virtually could have knocked off the target by knocking singles with no pressure.

We don't have a decent spinner and two (Hayden and Ponting) of the top order are lose limbs, although I don't think Hayden will be selected and I suspect Ponting will come good soon.

the batting has been carried by the middle and lower order of late.
all decent scores often made scratchily with a dash of luck, but nothing magical and marvelous, everyone making 30 or 40. I wouldn't say it was of a similar strength of a couple of years ago.
Katich and Haddin made tons against the kiwis, but the only decent bowler they've had on the tour was Vettori.
