The Vancouver Riots And Kissing Couple Make Statement

The Vancouver Riots are history, but that they happened, now 24 hours ago and after the Boston Bruins beat the Vancouver Canucks 4 zip and drunk fans proceeded to trash the downtown, the city's counting the cost of the damage.

What happened to cause the riots is that you had young fans who were just plain pissed off and a product of an Internet age of immediate expression of anger and instant self-gratification.

Where a loss in sports was once much ado about the game, now it's much ado about civic destruction and love-making.

What the Vancouver Riots also did was forever (I hope) erase the totally racist idea that urban blacks are more prone to riot than any other group of people. The U.S. Media has played a great role in advancing that stereotype, but today it's no more.

What we saw was total destruction, countered by one interesting moment that reminded this blogger of some of Actress Amy Smart's best public sex scenes.

A couple laying in the middle of the street, kissing, and the woman with her skirt up way too high implying the next phase of action, as the rioting was happening around him.

It wasn't staged, and this was confirmed by Sarah Lache, who works for Comcast Sports Chicago, and stayed up until 3 AM Wednesday morning trying to determine if the photo taken by Richard Lam of Getty captured a real and not a staged moment.

And Lache agreed with this blogger via Twitter that the scene reminder her of Amy Smart at her movie sexual best, too.

Well, at least some good humor was found in all of this violence - thanks to Scott Jones and Alex Thomas.

They are the kissing couple.

According to Nine News, he is from Austrialia and she's from Vancouver. The stand-up comic who was performing in the city, had recently started dating Thomas.

Wow.
