well, its about influential photographs not good photographs. A photograph doesn't have to be good or powerful to change things in history.

But, yeah, having all those amazing shots then having 'can i haz cheezburger' and goatse on the same page does cheapin the value of the list as a whole. There is an explanation for why it was selected, but that still does not completely convince that it belongs on the page though.

For the briefest of moments, I saw my daughter in the girl in Napalm Strike. It frightened, saddened and enraged me, all at once.

Thanks for the link.

I can see why "goatse" is on the list and I think it should be on the list. But not the cat thing.

I can't stop laughing at that picture. Guess that makes me a deuche.

To me, the Tank Man is the most influential picture. It reminds me that we are NOT powerless as individuals to make a statement against institutions as large as the government.

You'll have to look up the photos somewhere else, but you'll atleast know what they are.

I have it up... it's a terrible list. They have goatse and the cheezburger cat on the same list as the burning monk and tiananmen square. Yet they also don't have the child with the vulture by Kevin Carter?

EDIT: They also have the WTC up... buts its from TV, not a photo
