    Personally I am pretty confident that the subject and the person with the camera were both posing and attention seeking in this instance.

    Re: Suicidal

    There was a picture posted here not long ago, that was not as graphic, but got similar responses. At least that one was admittedly posed.

    Personally I find the remarks posted as a description of the picture to be what's appalling here. So fine, an "opportunity" was seen and taken. Yippee...the photo has some impact. But you haven't heard from your friend in a few days, you know he's suicidal, and you "hope he's okay"??

    Alrighty then.
