There are at least three Gertrudes in this picture.

This is right up there with that Imperial Japanese soldier smiling his ass off with two comfort women on his knees.

Do you have a link to that picture? I'm not good enough at web searching, evidently.

You just don’t want to be added to a database, right? Safe Search: Off

Slightly different, but I’m 90% sure this is the one I was thinking about.

You’re welcome. Looking at some of the other results gave me mild nausea.

There's something so fundamentally fucked about those pictures where everything looks harmless unless you know what you're looking at.

Thanks for digging it up. I cut my search short before even disabling safe search, still saw things I would be happy to unsee.

It's what horror movies are made of... Familiar, safe scenes where you know something is deeply, horribly wrong.

Yes, good horror movies. The ones where the horror isn't some lame supernatural bullshit, but just regular ol' humanity doing realistically evil shit.
