it's a shame that I'm a juventuz regular player but I'm not sure if this is a right place for this thread :p
I just found this photo in a site and I realized that it's the winning photo of 1994.it's very disgusting but this photo couldn't be better than it.


" PULITZER PRIZE " winning photo taken in 1994 during the Sudan famine.
The picture depicts a famine stricken child crawling towards an United Nations food camp, located a kilometer away.
The vulture is waiting for the child to die so that it can eat it. This picture shocked the whole world. No one knows what happened to the child, including the photographer Kevin Carter who left the place as soon as the photograph was taken.
Three months later he committed suicide due to depression.

Those photos are some of the most emotively appaling I've ever seen. If thats a tribute to the skill of the photographers then so be it, but its horrendous that such events are still going on today, 11 years later. Brings things into perspective doesn't it

I'm sorry but there is just no reason for these photos. At least give us a warning or something. I realise it's impostant for people to understand whats happening in the world but a warning would be nice.

You're right, they expected him to save the non-humans. :confused:

As a member of society as a whole, you and I and that punk have, or in his case had, the resposibility to save as many lives as possible. I would have taken that picture, then picked up that kid and sprinted him to the nearest health facility.
