OMG, I love stuff like this so, so much.

The one that took me forever to get past was this one:

Yeah, I've seen that one before. Any sort of explanation for what might be going on (is he her dad? is he her boyfriend?) just makes you feel kind of icky.

The mug of beer and cigarette add a nice touch of class. And is that an actual guitar and piano in the background, or just a picture?

[cygnus]

What gets me are the expressions on their faces. She should really look more concerned than she is... or is that a quaalude daze? And he just looks eager. Maybe he's just telling her, "Hey, Joolie, I gonna play you sumtin on dat dere piano!"

Julie: "Oh-kaaaaay."

Any way you slice it, WRONG. WRONG. WRONG-O.

She looks like that because he hasn't figured out yet that it's just a picture of a piano. Poor Daddy/boyfriend.

She looks like that because she just turned 16 and her life is basically over. :P

Sweet Sixteen. Sweet like aspartame, baby.
