As much as I see the importance of that image, it's begging to be shopped.

What an image.
Sheer relief on the kids face alone must make it worthwhile for all those involved.

Exactly the same thing here.

I can't stop bursting out laughing everytime I see it.

I found it funny in the metro or the sun at work, girl next to me couldn't understand why I found his facial expression funny..

he looks happier than just being rescued(!??!!?), if that makes any sense.

I can't begin to believe how that must have been, 8 days?

It's a sad day though that it must be poked at for fun, if it does come to fruition.

Wow, it's almost like you resent the story.

No why ?

I seem to be getting a lot of my posts taken out of context recently
