EVERYBODY DO THE LYNNDIE!

I'm disappointed I didn't have this idea first: all over the world, people are doing cover versions of Lynndie England's iconic torture pose.



So what does doing a Lynndie involve? Here are the basic instructions:

1. Find a victim who deserves to be "Lynndied".

2. Make sure you have a friend nearby with a camera ready to capture the "Lynndie".

3. Stick a cigarette (or pen) in your mouth and allow it to hang slightly below the horizontal.

4. Face the camera, tilt your upper body slightly forward but lean back on your right leg.

5. Make a hitchhiking gesture with your right hand and extend your right arm so that it's in roughly the same position as if you were holding a rifle.

6. Keeping your left arm slightly bent, point in the direction of the victim and smile.











I notice, despite the inspiration, that most of the people doing the Lynndie are men. Hmmm...
