But he's a "man" and not a "kid." Also, he's clearly made up to fit the role of a spoof - or if it was originally a "serious" pose and get up, then it's ripe for spoofing. The whole pic says "campiness."
I admit that it's a fine point. The girls in the pic were obviously having fun too. They were mugging and being silly - it was a "fun" pose. But they're kids within a very tiny subset of our broader culture. I don't recognize any of them, but I've probably interacted with their parents at some level "back in the day."
Mine was just an observation and a nit picking of the various uses of pics for lampoons and parodies. A pic of DKB is fair use because he's a "public figure." A pic of his kids - not so much. That kind of thing.
And I do really like this current spoof. It touches on the themes under discussion and the "headlines" are worded in that clipped style, only with jargon that is familiar to "us." It stands out as "well done."
