WARNING: The site that this picture is on also contains porn. There is no porn in this link but I would still advise against clicking it at work. Anyway, [here’s](http://www.sublimedirectory.com/pod_archive/pod_20040614.jpg) the pic. It’s the “picture of the day” on that site and they’re usually funny. I don’t get this one though. Does anyone know what it is supposed to be? ---

The hands are painted to look like the Earth. ---

Since it IS a porn site, I would say… 69 ---

It’s an amatuerish attempt at the ‘world’ themes already mentioned. ---

Ahem! While the _artist_ may have intended a world theme or a ying yang theme, let’s not forget that _this is linked from a porn site_. The _website_ sees this as **69** , a sexual theme. Think about it! ---

> [@GorillaMan](#): > > you must be looking at some straaaange porn 😛 I prefer dead monkey porn, personally… What I’m saying is that you can see the hands make the numbers 6 and 9 , one laying on top of the other, which is what you would expect from a porn site. Yes, the picture definitely wasn’t intended as 69, but rather just one more lame attempt at “Bring the world together” type art. However… IT IS A PORN SITE! 😛 They are OBVIOUSLY going to try and sexualize it. Any leads on some dead monkey porn links? ---

Also, the hand on the left is white, and the one on the right is black. I think. Otherwise, I’d say everyone else’s comments pretty much sum it up. ---

Be warned, everyone! **Cisco** ’s link goes directly to the Picture of the Day, _not_ to the Picture of the Day for June 14 2004. So if you click on that link today, you will, in fact, get a porn image. I don’t easily see any way to navigate to older pictures, and I’m not inclined to spend too long looking, here at the office. ---

YEEP! I’m sorry. [Here](http://www.sublimedirectory.com/pod_archive/pod_20040614.jpg) is the link to the picture we’re discussing. Can a mod please put that link in the OP? Sorry about that ---

(By the way, I owe you one Chronos. In English class the other night my instructor was telling a story about Bozeman, Montana and he wanted to write it on the board but he didn’t know how to spell it. I gave him the correct spelling and he was so impressed that I not only knew of the town, but knew how to spell it, that he gave me extra credit. I, of course, only knew of Bozeman from your location. Thanks :).) ---

I’m looking at a blond getting entered from the rear, with a cell phone prominent on the right with an incoming call from MOM on the display. What the hell are you guys looking at? ---
