Source: http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2011/06/18/ri ... ?hpt=hp_t2Canada's most famous lovebirds have come forward to explain the kiss photo that made them famous.
Australian Scott Jones and his girlfriend, Alexandra Thomas of Vancouver, British Columbia, told the Canadian network CBC that they were not making out in the street during the Vancouver hockey riot as it appeared in the widely circulated photo by Getty Images photographer Rich Lam.
The two were trying to find a way out of the turbulent downtown area when they were overrun by a phalanx of riot police, they said.
"They started charging at us, and we tried to run away, but Alex couldn't," Jones explained.
"I just tripped up," Thomas interjected. "I'm not sure, but I was starting to get really frightened because I'd never experienced anything like that before. And it's really scary, you know? ... I was upset, and he was there to make sure that I got out OK."
This picture speaks volumes..... and now the explanation behind it
On another note..... people in Vancouver are ashamed of the hooligans that went downtown to start a riot, they were armed and ready to roll no matter what!
The next morning a very large group of youths via a "Facebook plan" came downtown to help with the clean up and I believe all the "culprits" turned themselves in but they really had no choice, their pictures were plastered all over the internet. How stupid they were to do that and think they wouldn't get caught.
Pretty much everyone has a camera on their cellphone so they were bound to be snapped in the act.
