Coexist. A special image that will most likely not be seen by many due to the mainstream medias alternate motives.

Isn't that one of the more famous pictures from Afghanistan?

chemimangia · 2012-09-11T10:46:58+00:00

This picture is from the mainstream media.

I've seen that picture ten times.

kampfy3 · 2012-09-11T09:23:20+00:00

Oh hey look a post with an incorrect title talking about the mainstream media from 420_bear_grylls, I bet this guy isn't 15.

Godfodder · 2012-09-11T12:26:43+00:00

"I've found the perfect username. It lets people know I enjoy smoking weed, watching Bear Grylls, and that I'm only 14."

CantHugEveryCat · 2012-09-11T12:02:30+00:00

"Alternate" motives? Perhaps you meant "ulterior".

ARecordMachine · 2012-09-11T11:54:18+00:00

The amount of juvenile rebellion oozing from this repost of a picture that is in fact very well circulated in the big bad mainstream media is making me feel ill.

wolfie1010 · 2012-09-11T04:35:30-07:00

You're fucking stupid.

MiniTim · 2012-09-11T02:21:30-07:00

While that picture is beautiful (and also quite well circulated), your title makes me want to downvote it.

Cptn_Sisko · 2012-09-11T04:39:41-07:00

That is the most sensationalist title I have ever seen. We have seen this photo multiple times.

teacherguy · 2012-09-11T05:05:03-07:00

Incendiary bullshit title, AND a repost. Fuck you very much and goodbye.

I have seen this photo 3 times now, so much for the motives of the 'mainstream media' you hipster douche.

Ironic_Grammar_Nazi · 2012-09-11T11:38:41+00:00

"Coexist", I can't help but chuckle.

The soldier, unless struck down by some natural causes, was most likely killed by a human.

You don't consider Reddit a form of mainstream media?

Redsox933 · 2012-09-11T05:04:01-07:00

It has been posted here at least a dozen times, and I believe I first saw it on CNN

noble8301 · 2012-09-11T05:31:05-07:00

Yet I've seen it here a hundred times. Shove the karma up your ass, whorebag.

gountaa · 2012-09-11T05:20:23-07:00

Funny that you would say that since i've already seen it like 5 times on reddit.

A special image that will most likely be seen lotsa times by Redittors due to karma-whoring and other alternate motives.

red_firetruck · 2012-09-11T05:47:50-07:00

This reads like those spam post on facebook - Mainstream media won't show this picture. I upvote = 1 respect given.

gwog · 2012-09-11T05:12:14-07:00

A special image that will most likely be seen by many Redditors due to it being a repost. (sorry, couldn't resist) But yes, it is a cool picture. :)

bjt23 · 2012-09-11T05:04:26-07:00

I agree we need to coexist, then you had to get all "I'm great MSM sucks."

hei_mailma · 2012-09-11T12:48:11+00:00

just wondering.... does a picture like this exist the other way round? I.e with an american in the place of the Afghan guy and something else in place of the gun etc?

Fuck. Off.

This is a famous picture, it's been posted here like five times, and it is not being hidden by the media. Go back to smoking your 13 year old self into oblivion while listening to ICP.

Kale · 2012-09-11T11:55:19+00:00

I know a lot of people are convinced that the media clouds the truth to sensationalize it. Yesterday, though, my wifes cousin was at a gas station in his national guard uniform and the owner yelled at him to "take that shit off" pointing at his uniform, said something about hating that in his home country, then started saying something about Allah and crossing his heart or something. Hatred exists from both sides, unfortunately. It's nice to see images like this for hope (for both cultures)

bobdolerules · 2012-09-11T06:48:25-07:00

The mainstream media loves it because it sells ads and then makes wars easier. "They love us so we will help them fight for their freedom"

That is an expensive gun, with an expensive scope. They're just going to leave it there?

chantistar · 2012-09-11T06:53:58-07:00

I find this hard to believe. If its not fake i would guess he really liked whoever died and they built a mutual respect for one another. Otherwise, he is saluting someone who invaded his country and bombed his cities and that doesn't make sense to me. Maybe someone can explain the backstory...

TheMrBoJangles · 2012-09-11T07:01:35-07:00

So who left a perfectly good gun just lying around?

no, srsly, pic is nice, but there is no anything amazing in it.

Just out of curiosity: Do you have any information on what the "mainstream medias alternate motives" might be? Even speculation?

Or is that just something hipsters say?

nconan · 2012-09-11T08:33:49-07:00

Or because the picture is old as fuck.

Instead of just hating on the fact that the picture isn't being hidden by the mainstream media, does anyone have similar pictures of tolerance and putting petty differences aside? I was hoping for more faith-in-humanity-inspiring pictures in the comments.
