Line 8: The famous kiss an ecstatic sailor plants on a very surprised nurse he just grabbed off the street for the express purpose of kissing (see page image) when the end of [[World War II]] is announced in [[Big Applesauce\|New York City]] is the most [[Picture Pastiche\|commonly parodied]] VDay photograph, though there are others. ~~Taken~~The photo was taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt ~~and originally appearing in ''LIFE Magazine'' and~~, titled "[[w:V-J Day in Times Square\|V-J Day in Times Square]]", and originally appeared in (not on the cover of) the August 27, 1945 issue of ''LIFE Magazine''. The subjects of the photo melted into the crowd before he could catch their names. As a result of this, and the natural obfuscation of the subjects' features, several different people have come forward claiming to be the kisser and kissee. See [[Foot Popping]] for what that nurse was doing with her right leg.
