Vancouver Stanley Cup Riots: The Most Epic Riot Picture Ever Taken, Ever

I understand that rioting is a terrible thing. Vancouver embarrassed itself last night with a shameful display that was disgusting in every single way.

Okay, almost every single way.

Because the one thing it did leave us with, that actually contributed to society, was this picture. This glorious picture. Just take a moment to let it wash over you. Go ahead, I'll wait.

Muhammad Ali standing over Liston. Jordan holding his follow-through after his game-winner against the Jazz. Joe Namath running off the field with his finger in the air. Nolan Ryan with Robin Ventura in a headlock. THIS PICTURE.

All iconic sports pictures that will never be forgotten.

Okay, so technically this isn't exactly a sports photo. But it happened because of a sporting event, so I will forever believe that it counts.

I'm thrilled to see it's already starting to become a meme around the Internet, but I just need one more thing.

I need to know who this guy is.

The girl, yeah, that'd be great too. But as a man, I need to hear words spoken from the man who pulled this off. I need to know what it feels like to live his life.

Was it just a result of being really, really, ridiculously drunk? Probably. But let me dream for just a little while about the events that led to this happening.

I salute you, Mr. Guy Hooking Up in the Middle of a Freaking Riot. Men all around the world will today.

Oh, and by the way. Here's the one other good thing these riots gave us. When life gives you lemons, show videos of nutshots.

Update: I, too, am on the internet and am aware that the couple has been identified and the whole story has come out. No need to send me links anymore, although I do appreciate it. Obviously disappointed that it wasn't exactly what it appeared to be, but glad to see it was a small romantic moment. Awww.
