Yes, I did. And I saw the criticism by some columnist (in the NY Times?) that the pictures were offensive because the people were posing in front of their cars, boats, and whatever. This was offensive because they supposedly were showing off their wealth. THAT was news to me - many were just old snaps with the words added and others just looked like they were using the most convenient place for them. (And most of them at that time were posted from Italy.) A classic example of using an electron microscope to look for a fly in the ointment because one must surely be there somewhere.
