No offense but there are two things wrong with that pic.
#1) The flag if properly held should never touch the ground.
#2) The word "FONY" on the helmet indicates there is something wrong with the depicted firefighter. In the case of the NYC firefighters, they are as real as real can be. There is nothing "phony" about them. Real people doing very real things decribes them, and the stamp of "FONY" is actually an insult.
I didn't want to say anything, but the pic did not impress me the same way as it did you. I love the 3d imaging and whoever drew it is an artistic genius.
They say if you can't say something nice don't say anything at all. I should of kept my mouth shut I suppose. In no way did I mean to offend you Postcode.
