where is the aw button!

The last picture is adorable. In the rest of the correct representations, it looks like the sailor is putting her in a headlock. I always thought that was weird. I can hear screams of “she asked for it!” in the back of my head.

If it happened today, it would be shot on an iPhone and she'd be on her Facebook right away telling her friends “OMG, i didn't even KNOW that guy.” Then the press would pick it up, Laura Allred would offer to represent her, there would be stories about the “scandal” for weeks with all kinds of self-righteous chest-beating. Not to mention all the Photoshopping… Disaster Girl witnesses the kiss, Keyboard Cat plays the kiss off, both of them with white earphone wires, etc. He'd be vilified. His private life stripped bare for any other incidences that they could crucify him with. He'd have to go into rehab. One of them would end up on Dancing with the Stars.

I-spy two sailors on the last pic! ;)

Alfred Eisenstaedt took this picture in 1948? I thought it was on VJ Day.

haha in the last picture, the guys are on the right are kissing

It always bugs me that no one mentions that this lady didn't WANT to be kissed. The dude just grabbed her. That's why his arm is up and stuff.. he's forcing her. Not what I want in an iconic moment.
