Really, jackhammers?


Hey guys! I wasn't really sure of the terms of posting on rimrats yet, but my dad sent me this image this morning, and I really wanted to share it with you all.

Beyond the fact that this photo (and particularly the caption) are initially pretty funny, I thought it kind of brings up some important questions.

Should The Roanoke Times, or any newspaper, publish a photo that makes a person look this bad? I know from the photo class that I took that asking her to put out her cigarette would have taken away from the reality of the photo, but it seems that this just makes her look bad, and maybe even makes the paper look bad for failing to acknowledge it.

Not sure... but I thought it was interesting.
