Anybody else notice the similarity between the arrangement of four of our world leaders at the G-20 conference in this picture, and a famous shot of one of the world’s greatest bands? Because we did. I’m trying to think of a joke about “Obama met the queen and now he wants to be in Queen,” but it’s not happening. So, what instrument do you think each of them plays? Hu Jintao’s got the Freddy Mercury position, but he just doesn’t seem like he’s got lead singer charisma. Sorry, but it’s true. Belusconi, on the other hand, thinks he’s in the Monkees. You’re supposed to try and look cool, dude! Medvedev is so the drummer. By the way, how pissed is Sarkozy he didn’t get in this shot? That’ll teach him to be late to dinner. Although five members does make your musical combo much more likely to be a “boy band,” so maybe he got a “non, merci” from the clearly-intent-on-musical-integrity Medvedev?
Our own Dave Gilson didn’t see “rock band” in this picture, he saw Japanese Photo Booth. He has a point. Check out his enhanced version of the shot after the jump.
