A Young Tony Blair Touches His Nads (With Pic)


This picture (from the mid-1970s) has been reprinted hundreds of times over the years, but always with the "nutz action" shopped out of it:

...[the] hand signal was removed by computer manipulation on the insistence of the clergyman who supplied the photograph and with the agreement of the news agency which distributed it to newspapers.

Nothing that shocking, really. But who could have guessed that this feisty young lad would lead England into the disastrous foreign policy adventure known as gulf War II?

Not a very attractive looking lot. Actually, they are all quite ugly.

It was the 70s.

Scandal! This is way worse than Lewinskygate.

Weren't the 70's awful? I can't watch our home movies from that era without cringing. The polyester mu-mu's, the shag carpets, the bean bag chairs...and the hair...God, the hair...

What the hell were they thinking?

I thought that was an old picture of Floyd.

I thought it was an outtake from the ACDC Highway To Hell cover session...
