10/19/2002: Hockey streaker
A different pic of this got Photoshopped on Fark, but this is a far better shot, and it's one that probably didn't get wide distribution.
This guy is streaking, at a hockey game. The game was Flames-Bruins, taking place in Calgary.
It's obvious what's going to happen, isn't it? One second after he reached the ice, he slipped and fell, landed on his back and hit his head, knocking himself unconscious. They had to get the whole medical team out there and isolate his neck and everything. He wound up relatively unhurt though.
Two great things about this shot. One, the photographer managed to catch him at just the right moment so his package is hidden by the glass supports. Now that's timing. Two, check out the reactions of all the people watching! Priceless.

The reactions appear to range from hiding your face, to lauging, to (in the case of the two people in the upper right hand corner) sticking a finger up you nose.

I like the two forward-most people on the right: the man is scared he's going to get it on the head from a nut, and the woman is sizing him up from the "sun-don't-shine" perspective.

That took balls. And a lot of alcohol.

I wonder how much alcohol it takes to dissolve a brain.
Hey, maybe the brain doesn't dissolve. Maybe the balls
swell. Alcohol works in mysterious ways!

My favorite detail: Socks. it is ice afterall.

Maybe wool socks and not acrylic blend might have given him better traction on the ice.

His socks were red, that's how we knew he was a flames fan.

Has anyone here streaked before?

Skinny dipping under cover of darkness. Good clean fun.

Update: fark reports that this shot, which they subsequently put up for Photoshopping, has already been altered in the version that you see. Apparently the photographer wasn't as talented as first thought, and needed to go in and digitally remove some of the guy's bits and pieces.

Did anyone else think ING was making a crack at their mothers at first glance? (See ad at the bottom.)
By the way, crack/bottom puns entirely not intended.

Mom was not amused.
| "He has really embarrassed his mother and that's not right. The whole of Provost is going to know now. I mean, my church group — I am a born-again Christian and this is not going to help ... It's not comical. It's very embarrassing. I'd like to be proud of my son and I'm not right now." |
