Hahahahahaha

Jesus Christ, dude. :1orglaugh

he was thinking "Damm i look sexy in this speedo with my huge gut"

Maybe there's another side of the story...don't always assume.

these people should be forced in to help rebuild the community or drowned.

That was actually pretty damn funny.

When someone is in need in your community, do you help?

Wow, that place got destroyed.

That's nothing compared to most other places, I bet.

this picture was going around the globe. Its a very good example on how media can trick you to believe what they want.

The guy on the left is Swiss, the one on the right is from England. After the Tsunami they stayed in Thailand to help the local people cleaning up everything. The picture was taken in a work break when a thai local brought them some beer as we was so thankful for their help.

Now thats the truth. Dont believe everything you see ... especially if you dont know the context.

you got it :thumbsup

that was so sad... nice belly on that fat guy thou

its real :2 cents:

these pics are real

that has to be a photoshop, lol

omg haha nice one there!

You know tubby there isn't American!

No fat American guy would be caught dead in a speedo. :1orglaugh


On a serious note, I understand both points but for me personally I would change my vacation so that I would still be going to the region but I would go lend a hand and try and make some small difference. I am certain I would feel much more gratified helping out than sitting on a beach in my speedo drinking a beer.

Thats fucked up

the 2 fat fucks pic on the beach isn't real

however, i saw on NBC news that the local restaurants, hotels, tour guides (etc) are BEGGING for tourists to come back....they cannot work, they have no customers, and people are being laid off from their jobs because there is nobody to serve

Good grief!! Somehow I don't think I'd want to be taking a vacation there right now - non-refundable tickets or not! I don't think it would be the sort of vacation experience you'd really want to have.

jeez. believe me, its real. I even know the name of the guy on the left (the one with the speedo)

Great not only are you going to hell for posting those but now you have to bring me with you bastard:)

tourists will be tourists.

They must be the Apocalypse fatfucks :disgust

Anyway some of those photos have "Photoshop" written all over it...but wouldn't suprise me a bit if those were true tho..human's are the scrotum of the world...

Whoever thinks there is something wrong with these pics needs their heads examined. They dont look real anyway. Tourism is the main key to rejuvenating these economies and the sooner the better.

At least I'm not the only one who thought that.

I think you are all mistaking. On the picture where the lady collects garbage, the thing that you should all see is how one person ( probably volauntary) helps, while the other lays down and takes a sun bath. The old dude is the one that is to be blamed for acting stupid. And dont say he's doing the right thing by spending his money and creating work place. If he wanted to help he should have donated whatever he had and get the hell out of there. Not mentioning the fact that the countries affected by the tsunami face food and starvation problems......\

duh...

LOL Exactly, they look pretty photochopped to me.

Especially the last pic! :1orglaugh

The first thing that came to my mind was photochopped. Of course a few of them could be genuine clean up volunteers taking a break. Who knows.

I say good for those people to be there spending their money and not cancelling their trip.

exactly...they have been all over the press here begging people to continue with their trips and spend the money locally.

You have to remember that facts and reality have no place on GFY. Also the amount of people able to read and understand most posts in a thread (even short threads) is minimal. :winkwink:

Not too bright are you?

Awww that is so sad :(

haha nice one..

really they DONT need tourism right now...they're having money thrown at them...they need manpower more than anything

plz read this before you post shit

Do you think there's a booth where people can and get money that has been donated from all around the globe?
Donated money go to organizations that help rebuilding the country, medicare, infrastructure, emergency food and all that. A regular Joe that lived of tourism will not get a penny of it.

That has to be photoshopped ... its gotta smell horrible over there still from all the rotting corpses!

nothing..
they're helping these countries. I bet these countries would want thousands more tourists to come...

besides, tourists have a reason to come because prices must have dropped after the tsunami...

Love the candy assed knee jerk reactions. In the wake of a disaster like this, the tourism industry turns to shit. The tourism industry feeds many people, and while these people aren't exactly going to be making up for everyone else who has since cancelled their trip, whatever they're spending is going to help sustain whichever hotel they are staying at, bar they're drinking at, and shops they buy at.

And who are you to say that these people haven't helped? Do you have to help 18 hours a day? Couldn't one help, and then relax for a while?
