The Globe actually ran this headline "Workers doubted ceiling method" over the same picture on the front page of today's paper. Only days after the tragic accident that's closed Big Dig tunnels and increased skepticism of the entire project, illustrations and diagrams of epoxy filled tubes with bolts inserted have become commonplace. Romney, caught jacket off, with a metal phallus in his hand attempting to demonstrate something to an audience has so much more potential than this images delivers. The 5' marking on the upper left corner of the whiteboard, the secondary illustration on the board, and especially the look of surprise Romney is showing in the image all had so much potential for a story more along the lines of "Governor Abandons Abstinence-Only Sex Education." But as far as awkward phallus photos go we're making a stretch on this post – it's no Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg crotch hug.

Image used under fair use - but captured and printed by the fine folks on Morrisey Boulevard
