I was going to say this one. If you haven't seen Clerks The Animated Series, they re-created it with Randle for the class reunion episode and it's hilarious.
I found it.

The pic that came to mind when I saw the thread title was the Vietnam war photo referred to as "Napalm Girl". It an approximately 8 year old kid running, crying, naked as she had just suffered from a US bombing run and had been sprayed with napalm. There are numerous other children running beside her.

Changed it but that would be pretty silly. That pic has been posted all over the media for 50 years.
Yeah... but technically full frontal nudity of a child. Would be a stupid reason to lose an old account but, is it worth the risk?
 
LOL! That was one of the finniest threads I ever read. "Nosferatu" had me rolling.

I think that thread was one of the things that drew me to sherdog... was right back when I first joined.

in the us you would have

Incidentally, the photo of the sailor kissing the woman was attempted to be used during the me too movement to prove it was innapropriate and sexually questionable using the proof of the ladies hand on the guy as proof that she tried to push him away. God, they fucked things up.
 
I guess universally famous photos would probably be mostly faces like the Mao one in Tiananmen Square.
Sure, or maybe the afghan girl, that one was huge.

That is one i had never seen before. Tank man is pretty famous but also widely censored (none of my mainland chinese friends had ever seen the image before i showed them) so limited reach. That's why i guess it's some relevant head of state you see in history books in most countries.

ok, I don't know much about china but I do know they didn't even know much about Bruce Lee before the last couple decades as the communists claimed he was some shit having to do with capitalist decadence or something. Mao, for his part, was moved to tears and called Bruce a hero so it probably wasn't his order to do that. Any beureacracy takes on a silly, stupid life of it's own.

Bruce Lee films were considered rightist propaganda during the cultural revolution, yes. A lot of martial arts fiction was like that though. In fact, Jin Yong novels used to be banned until Deng Xiaoping (who was an avid reader of Jin Yong) reversed that. Especially under Mao though, he went back and forth between opinions of things depending on what was convenient at the time. During the chinese civil war, Mao promoted the novel Water Margin for how great and revolutionary it was. In the 1970's he banned it for being right wing propaganda.

A friend of mine said her grandmother always yelled at her and called her a right wing extremist for reading western literature such as Harry Potter too when she was a child.
