Here is part of the official caption of the photo to your right (see larger version):

A Vodou believer pours hot pepper-spiced homemade alcohol on her genital area, one of the key rituals during Gede, a Vodou holiday dedicated to Baron Samdi and the Gede family of spirits of the dead, while other believers, one clutching a miniature coffin, look on in the National Cemetery in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, on November 1, 2003, which is All Saints Day and is also the first of two days devoted to the Gede, who are feted for most of the month of November.

I was thinking of using this photo in one of my world famous Beat This Caption posts, but, really, what's the point? I mean, maybe you could write something like, "Manny Ramirez's mother retires from procreating," but it's still not going to beat any combination of hot pepper-spiced homemade alcohol and genitals.

• Stop Calling Firefighters 'Heroes' — Slate, the best site for commentary on the web, gets ballsy with an article that lays out the myths of being a firefighter. Delivering pizzas is statistically more dangerous, and the hours are cushy beyond belief. I certainly admire the work they do, but, as a whole, I thought the hero card was prostituted after 9/11 in situations where it absolutely did not belong. Firemen from NYC and other areas would wear their firehouse t-shits to bars just to get attention and it was disgraceful. And, of course, there are plenty of men who can never be paid back for what they did on 9/11 and afterward, and who had enough dignity to not flaunt 9/11 for personal advantage.
