First things first—how amazing is this photo?

In the midst of an unfortunate and unnecessary riot in Vancouver—after the Canucks lost to the Boston Bruins in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final last evening—came one ray of sunshine.

This photo.

Nothing could be more epic than making out with a woman, in the middle of the street, while a riot is happening around you.

And nothing could be more meme-inspiring either (even if the photo was possibly staged).

Thus, I present you with the best memes of this photo: five originals that I made and four I found on the Interwebs.

Do enjoy.

An Original: George Joins the Action

Hey, at least somebody knew a picture was being taken.

From the Interwebs: Rubbing It in

Salt in the wound.

An Original: Cigar Guy Makes Some Friends

Whoooooaaaaaa—double meme.

The original photo of Cigar Guy is pretty darn awesome as well.

From the Interwebs: A Political Kiss

Now that's love, people.

 

Photo from, um, here.

An Original (I Thought): I Guess Some People Loved "The Decision"

(Note: I was informed that I wasn't the only one to do this particular meme. There is another version that you can find here.)

I wonder if Jim Gray had any scripted questions for this couple.

From the Interwebs: Mark Cuban

So while you may know that the picture of Cuban came from him using the bathroom, it takes on a totally creepy vibe here when you remove him from the toilet.

Listen, celebrations take on many forms.

An Original: The Force Is with Them

You would think a lightsaber nearing your leg would ruin the mood, but I guess not...

Maybe he's a Jedi.

(Waves his hand in the air) "Yes, you DO want to make out with me during this epic battle."

From the Interwebs: Here Comes O.J.

Honestly, I think this one would have been even funnier if they were making out in O.J.'s lane, about to get run over by the fleeing criminal.

But maybe that's just me.
