A little false advertising perhaps?

Four years after its initial debut on the world wide web, and this photo is still the #4 most popular emailed photo from Yahoo.


The caption reads, "A passanger waits for a delayed flight at Heathrow airport's terminal four in London August 12, 2006." I think it's fair to say that caption is really not indicative of why this photography took the picture and subsequently why the photo is so popular.


I think the caption should have more accurately read, "A very large bottom sits in a very small chair at Heathrow airport.."


Can you imagine this being your bottom and emailed round the world? What if you were looking at Yahoo's most popular emailed photos and there, in your face, was your enormous rear-end staring back at you and the other 6.7 billion people on this planet. That in itself might make me start looking for planets with other life forms.
