Anyway, that image got a fair bit of publicity, and I guess a
bunch of other people with too much time on their hands got
inspired and produced a bunch of similar images...

Inevitably enough, this image hacking has resurfaced in a FOAF context,
see http://www.benhammersley.com/archives/003949.html#003949 for pointer
to 'tourist guy' co-depiction joke RDF,
http://dougal.gunters.org/tod_codepiction.foaf

For those not up with the jargon, co-depiction is just about using
RDF to catalogue who the people are that are depicted in digital images
together. Tourist guy has been hacked into a pic and then the deed
catalogued in RDF, so he shows up in FOAF aggregators such as:

more on codepiction at http://rdfweb.org/2002/01/photo/

I just re-stumbled over this Fogo thread, and thought it worth tracking
the meme thing...
