Scene: Notre Dame Stadium. Two Irish fans ask if they can get onto the field before Notre Dame’s battle with USC - one that would prove to be a heroic seven-point loss. The usher obliges, because sometimes this is a civil society after all. The two take their picture, but there appears to be a third party, uninvited but more than willing to add his own mark to the photo.

The result?

Two scoops of middle-finger, courtesy of USC tight end Blake Ayles, coming right up!

We don’t much care for those who think the middle finger is a big deal anymore - it’s commonplace among, like, second-graders - but we understand that there are those who abhor it, thus the Tiny Teddy Bears Of Good Taste And Restraint. To view the photo sans Teddy Bears, please drive through.

Tsk, tsk. Someone’s probably running extra stairs this week.

We did appreciate this quote from the fans, fully acknowledging the dualistic nature of the consequences of such a photobomb:

“Low [sic] and behold, it was our buddy, No. 88, giving us the double-birdie salute,” said [Nick] Shelton. “Ayles ruined our picture, but I’d be lying if I said I was upset. It’s a priceless photo.”

Hell yes he did, and hell yes it is.
