News, but not the serious kind

That’s really subtle, dudes!

It’s time once again for an episode of our popular feature, Stuff Maybe We Should Have Mentioned in the Caption, But Didn’t.

Yesterday they shot the group photo of the world leaders who participated in a summit in L’Aquila, Italy.

Our actual caption on this photo here tells us that President Barack Obama and French President Nicolas Sarkozy  “take their places with junior G8 delegates for a family photo…”

I guess it didn’t occur to us to mention that something far more interesting is going on here, and that Obama and Sarkozy aren’t giving their fullest attention to finding their places for the group photo.

I don’t believe that chick is the leader of a country, not even a little-bitty one, so she must be one of those “junior delegates.”

I couldn’t find her in the group photo of the real leaders, but maybe she was voted out of office just before they snapped the picture.

Just compromise.  Join the Oddly Enough blog network
