I need to refute something from Sean’s disproval of my latest effort to explain The Sun‘s photo.
The lemon: I feel this is one of those flaws in my rendering that I mentioned in my previous post. In actuality, I believe the lemon is sitting on the edge of a glass of strawberry lemonade rather than the martini glass I drew, accounting for the pinkish splotches seen running across the inside of the lemon’s pericarp. Sure, the pericarp doesn’t look white, but that’s because it is in the shadow cast by the thicker edge of the slice. If you’ve ever seen a slice of lemon that’s been sitting around a little while, you’d notice that the “meat” of the lemon actually shrinks as it dehydrates, accounting for the shadowing. Let’s take another look at Sean’s blowup:
Now, while you might argue that the pink splotches of strawberry foam are too high up on the lemon to have come from inside the glass, I’d have to assure you that those darn things are always slipping off the edge of the glass, especially when they’re cut as thinly as this one is. Also, you might argue that Brits don’t drink strawberry lemonade, making it impossible to even find any in the UK. That’s a pretty good point, but I’d have to argue that if anyone were to have a chance of getting a strawberry lemonade where there is none, it’s sure going to be someone who: a) is hanging out with a member of the Royal Family, b) has nice tits, or c) has both nice tits and a member of the Royal Family. In fact, I’d be surprised if someone matching those qualifications didn’t order something impossible at every chance.
Unfortunately for me, it is Sean who is making the rules here. So, if he says it’s a “button”, and that it’s pinned to Miss Pinkham’s top, I simply have to accept it and move on. So here I go, moving on.
You’ll notice that there’s a button pinned to Miss Pinkham’s top:
You’ll also notice that this button is being pushed off to one side — making it nearly perpendicular to her torso, as a matter of fact. Sean maintains that Miss Pinkham’s breasts are following the axiom that “the breast line is one head-height below the chin,” and therefore exist in the state shown in his diagram:
If there is nothing up in the upper portion of Miss Pinkham’s top, then what is pushing said button to such a perpendicular angle? If there were no breasts up there, the button ought to be flat against her breast-free upper chest, no?
I feel that because my initial video footage disproved the bulk of Sean’s argument against the authenticity of the photo in question, I actually do deserve the award, so I’m going to just go ahead and claim it without Sean’s approval. However, Sean is right that the question of the raised left breast really needs to be answered. Since I’ve not yet adequately proved a case for the raisal of said breast, I have a moral opposition to the outright taking of Sean’s award without his approval. So what I’ve done is taken half the award without permission, until which point Sean feels the need to award me the other half. You’ll now find the following image proudly and boldly emblazoned on my website for the world to see, so that they will know that I deserve the “Sean Gleeson Researcher of the Century Award.”
