That's pretty funny...I live in a crowded city and I can't tell you how many times a day young women literally walk into me because they are texting...

This is something that I encounter every day. It annoys me somewhat, but doesn't fill me with despair as does seeing those who are glued to their phones
whilst pushing a fucking pram.

I saw this yesterday with this mother walking her baby in a giant stroller/child mobile throne chair in the middle of the road. There was nice sidewalks on either side of the road but she was walking down a the middle of the road, one hand pushing the stroller, the other hand texting, not looking ahead at all. If a car came she would have been run over.

I don't think the 9/11 post is in good taste. I get the concept you are going after, but 9/11 hit a lot of us hard and some of us have ties in the wall street community with direct impact from that photo. I just think this one should be off limits.
You are the moderator. Your call.

That prince charming pic ^^^ is pure gold. Perfectly sums up the entire generation of women out there right now.
Seriously tempted to print out a hundred of those and post them all over the city

With all due respect, where do you stop with "off-limits" for comedy? I know the slippery slope argument is cliche, but it exists for a reason. Lindy West hates rape jokes, and thinks they should be off limits, but where do we stop?

I don't know the answer to this. I'm not suggesting a whole bunch of blanket censorship. Not my point. Every once in a while we can make a judgment call here and there. I think we have a good community here, and a respectful request to rethink the use of that 9/11 photo shouldn't be of big concern that it is going to immediately take us down a "slippery slope."
Tuth can and will do what he wants here...this was just my suggestion. The photo of the plane crashing into those buildings really hits home for a lot of people...
