in reaction to this, dg from france sent me a recent cover of Liberation, the french leftist newspaper:
title: les fou du feu = those crazy about fire [or someffing…]
“To continue on the man on fire subject, let me just send you the cover of Liberation (french national newspaper) that printed this one. You may think what you will of this archaic tradition of setting oneself on fire (women in ancient times used to burn themselves if their husband died), but the right to print such a photo on the cover of a paper is undeniable to me…”
… an other friend, lets call him flicktheblick here, wrote that the man on fire foto-manipulations made him lol …
cheerz
