I vote for removal. Shit creeped me out. Not necessary.

What was the original?

Well done, Wombaticus. I don't know why but it rarely occurs to me to simply take the direct action you do. I'm stuck in some stupid mode where the poster's text is inviolable, when the proper course is obvious.

The original appears to be a screen grab from this Joe Paterno coaching video at about the 2:00 mark, which, to my mind, makes the whole thing even creepier. Did MinM deliberately seek out a screengrab like this as a way of poking fun at the anal rape of the victim here? Yes, clearly, and WTF?

Was this an innocent mistake or a bannable offense? We've certainly banned for far less.

[Wombaticus Rex]

MinM was amenable to the change and agreed it was graphic, so I don't think there was any malicious intent. Certainly never once caught an off note from MinM before.

Seems like an image like that doesn't get posted by accident, but as WR said, MinM's always been a model poster.

I'd just make sure that the message is conveyed that images like that are verboten.

MinM is a dick. He's a sock-puppet of Hugh, imho. Model posters, to my mind, are those who actually join in discussion, something that MinM virtually never does. He's happy to spend his time here bumping Hugh Manatee Wins threads to the top of GD with the perverse regularity of a one-man PR firm. As well, there have been a few questionable moments with regard to race that I have neither the inclination nor the time to document, beyond this gem. Very subtle.

Okay. There. I said my piece, and I feel better. Ahhh, the catharsis of the moderator discussion forum. Carry on!
