by the way one of the comments:
"Why is she dressed in white? I'm not sure she's still a virgin."
People can grab the most important detail...
But, my pet is another comment:
"They didn't see what's printed on the back: Made in China ;))"

‘Affluenza’ teen Ethan Couch captured in Mexico with his mother

Ethan Couch, the Texas teenager who prompted an international search after he vanished earlier this month, appeared set to return to the United States after his Monday night capture in a Mexican resort city.
Couch, 18, made national headlines after a 2013 drunken-driving incident that left four people dead. A psychologist testified for his defense, saying that the teen, from a wealthy Dallas area family, suffered from “affluenza,” which contributed to his reckless decisions.

When it came time for Couch’s day in court, though, a psychologist argued that the fatal crash largely could be chalked up to the teenager’s condition: “affluenza.”
Couch was the product of “profoundly dysfunctional” millionaire parents who encouraged his bad behavior, according to G. Dick Miller, the psychologist.
“Instead of the golden rule, which was ‘do unto others as you would have them do unto you,’ [Couch] was taught we have the gold, we make the rules at the Couch household,” Miller testified in court, according to ABC News.
Couch pleaded guilty to manslaughter and assault while intoxicated. Prosecutors pushed for a sentence as stiff as 20 years in prison.
Thanks largely to Miller’s diagnosis, though, Couch escaped prison altogether. Instead, a judge sentenced him to rehab and 10 years of drug-and-alcohol-free probation.
The light sentence shocked America, particularly relatives of the four people killed because Couch’s drunk driving.

Unidentified individuals travelling in as many as nine planes belonging to Qatar’s royal family made an emergency trip to Switzerland over the weekend for medical reasons, according to a Swiss official.
A spokesman for Switzerland’s federal office of civil aviation confirmed local media reports that multiple aircraft made unscheduled landings at the Zurich-Kloten airport overnight from 25 to 26 December and that the planes were part of the Qatari royal fleet.
He gave no details as to who was on board or who any of the potential patients may have been.
“The emergency landing clearance was given by the Swiss air force,” he told AFP, explaining that the civil aviation office was closed during the hours in question.
Qatari authorities later said that the country’s former ruler, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, had been flown to Switzerland over the weekend for surgery after breaking a leg.

What's the source so I can search it?

googling "Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani" (exact word or phrase) gives it as fifth match: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldne ... liday.html - for example

Special thank You for moving something as blatant derailment from an Off-Topic Forum thread to the Outer Darkness!!!
I can be offtopic on an offtopic thing !
I tried to comment, that I didn't watched none of the movies mentioned there. Maybe my wording is too weird...
