Default the picture that was BANNED...

This picture was banned in another forum:

I do not drink Heineken.

The gentlemen in the photo needs a clean shirt.

There is also very bad lighting in the photo.

The flag is too dark, IMO. Flags should be bright colors to give the aura of peace, joy, and goodwill.

So yes, it is a bad photo.

So by "tasteless," you mean... unfashionable?

No, he means that we hate Heineken beer so much that any photo promoting it should be banned.

This is a photo of the poor Korean guy who fell into the hands of terrorists and is now being used for propaganda before they cut his head off. Whoever posted this is a real prick.

I didn't know what it was either. Now that I do, I would have to say it is a tasteless picture.

Tasteless, perhaps. Have it banned, no.

Perhaps the point is that the human being is being used to promote someting, just like an ad campagin. And he is just a piece of fodder to his captors. If this is the Korean man?
