More like He PEEPING OR Nothing like a Tall Glass of Guinness

[thebitterguy]

I know the Guinness people like their publicity shots, but did anyone at any time stop to think that this shot was a little bit on the creepy side? And is he doing a finger shoot at the crowd?

(Honestly, my caption is kinda mellow).

The photo is He Pingping (the small one) and Svetlana Pankratova, Goddess of Leg Fetishists, the shortest ambulatory man in the world and the woman with the longest legs in the world, at 2'5.4" and 4'4", respectively. The photo is by Sang Tan, AP, who giggled when the photo was taken.

The Star put the photo between an article about the French attacking pirates and Fort York getting a makeover in advance of the bicentenary of the War of 1812. I love that song, BTW.

I found the shot odd as well.

Looks like you had a typo on her height.

I think that measurement reflects only the length of her legs, since that's what makes her Guinness Book material.

I just realized that, and tried to edit my comment but couldn't as you had already replied to it! 8)

The 4'4" is the length of her legs.

They showed this on Canada AM.

The conversation by the hosts went:

"Description, background - "
"She's wearing a skirt."
"Yes, and professionalism and history of the individuals"
"she's wearing a skirt"
"More professional description"
"She's wearing a skirt. And he's looking straight ahead."
"Yes, it's an unfortunate angle.

I presume that's why he's shooting someone in the crowd a thumbs up. "Guess what I just saw!"
