It turns out an Australian was the only person to do something creative in Vancouver, Canada, three nights ago when the Canucks lost in the Stanley Cup finals.
Scott Jones of Australia was captured by a Getty photographer as Jones knelt down and kissed his Canadian girlfriend, Alexandra Thomas, who had fallen as Vancouver police chased a crowd down a street. The riot kiss is the shot seen around the world.
Jones said he was trying to comfort Alexandra in the panic. Meanwhile, the natives were smashing cars and stealing from stores because the World Champion Boston Bruins had humiliated their team 4-0 in the last game.
Pretty poor losers, those Canuck fans. Now they're cursed. Kiss that Stanley Cup goodbye forever.
