individual nature of homeless people it's not?
What's most ironic of all is that this pic of Kyle's actually does precisely
what you and Adam are (correctly) asking for, IMHO.

Sure, but the guy looks like a freaking-GQ model! It is ok to photograph the
homeless as long as they don't appear to be homeless! More irony.
If you photographed a homeless guy who looked terrible, THAT would probably
violate Kyle's rule...

Yeah? Nothing ironic about the inclusion of a pic of a homeless man in the
post,
then?

Oh, no, Kyle wasn't being ironic, that would be a "shortcut to meaning" and
he
obviously doesn't take shortcuts to meaning, he takes the long way around.

Reading what you and Adam have written, it surely cannot be any surprise
whatsoever that it is said that Americans think irony is a foreign language.
