As the editor of a news web site, I can sympathize with the need to find a quick photo to accompany a short item. Sometimes, when you’re in a hurry, you just need to grab the best thing you can find and slap it up there. But this Getty Image that NBC4 picked to go along with its story about how the city of Herndon is launching a campaign to educate citizens about how to hire day workers is still making me giggle hours after it was first pointed out to me. NBC4 commenter matt robles said it best:

i love that picture. i sure as hell don’t see that guy in herndon. i’d like to eat his chorizo con huevos

Indeed. Had I known that day laborers come without shirts and with perfect six packs, I would have hired some to do a little work around the house a long time ago.
