Behind The Awkwardness: The Pincher
January 7th, 2010
“This is my dear friend. She had never been on a cruise before, and didn’t realize that they took your picture when you got out at each port. Naturally, since we had a 7:30 am excursion, she was a little disoriented when she was greeted with flashbulbs and men in native dress. Imagine her surprise when she saw this photo and realized that this lovely Sombrero wearing guy was getting a little souvenir for himself.”

After 10,000 photos, ya gotta make it interesting.
Aw, c’mon..he’s obviously giving a thumbs up but, his hand just happens to be overlapping where he boob is…
EXACTLY! I mean, I would think one would definitely feel their boob get pinched! *eyeroll*
Looks like he’s poking her in the ribs and she’s giggling like the Pillsbury Doughboy.
See it? *poke* “Hee hee!”
Just checking to see if the money i spent for the re do was worth it.
EEEWWW!!!
Isn’t anyone else seeing the smirk on his face? It looks like he’s trying not to giggle. Maybe this shot was just a one-time double dog dare, but I betcha there many cruisers with similar pictures.
I think when the author says “native dress” the author means in general. No matter what country you make port at there will be a greeter wearing the traditional outfit of the land. I think people are taking this way too seriously.
This is the costume from “The Three Amigos.” You know the people there are just laughing like crazy at we stupid Americans who fawn over their “native dress.”
who’s fawning??
Thumbs up or Pincho Villa – she seems pretty happy with Senor Cruise.
Thumbs up, no pinching. Wishful thinking on your friend’s part, perhaps?
Can’t help laughing at the phrase “native dress”. Not all Mexicans walk around in mariachi garb and enormous sombrero unless they’re getting ready to play some music in a mariachi band or posing with the tourists. I lived in Mexico for over 14 years and men normally walk around wearing…get ready for this…regular suits, ties, jeans and shirts {*gasp*!}.
Yeah. I found that just as awkward as the picture.
right there with you on the ‘native dress’ bit.
I’m wearing a mariachi outfit right now. While typing and surfing the interwebs.
OMG! If I am that lady, I will definitely slap him so hard his mustache will fly off his face
I think he’s just giving a thumbs up sign. Came out a little funny though!
My first thought was that it was the “finger-gun” gesture, as if he was pretending to hold her up.
thank you, finger gun!
I didn’t realize he was giving a thumbs up until the first post pointed that out. Then I went back and looked just to make sure. It wasn’t so obvious to me but still hilarious!
This is awesome!
Oh man… This reminds me of the picture from my honeymoon… I was in Acapulco and we’d just watched the cliff divers when they came around for photo ops. My hubby took a pic of me with the divers, and my expression is priceless. One of them was grabbing my behind right as he took the pic.
We are all waiting to see that pic!!
I’ll have to track it down. I’ll submit it when I find it.
When you are on a cruise, there are ship paparazzi waiting to take your picture at every port with locals in cheesy costumes and they are everywhere on the ship too. My husband and I learned, after our first cruise, to never fall for this. The photos are generally bad and expensive, too.
This picture is racist. It propagates racial stereotypes of Mexican men being perverted. I think AFP should take this down IMMEDIATELY. I’m offended by the caption. This is supposed to be a family site.
Aren’t all men, regardless of race, nationality, or social status, a bit pervy??
??? The caption is racist? Supposed to be a family site? Have you not looked at the Xmas: Deck the Halls or the LOL Cats? Dude, your comment is awkward. Thanks for the chuckle!
Max, I don’t want to seem dismissive if you’re really offended. But if it makes you feel any better, there have been other “perv” pics of what appears to be someone copping a feel or ogling at someone inappropriately, etc. In one pic, the perv was a baby! Next week it might be the Easter bunny…
the ‘native dress’ is what’s ridiculous. he’s wearing a traditional mariachi costume, not dressed as a ‘native’ man. it’s funny, sad, and i guess you could say a bit awkward that the person who wrote the caption was unaware of how easily misinterpreted, and potentially offensive, her words are.
I never even knew it was supposed to be a stereotype of Mexican men tobe perverts, I just thought it was ALL men….so thanks to the OP for enlightening me on that one….ridiculous
Sorry Max – people just don’t really dress like that anywhere else in the world. If it’s localized, it’s native. It is native dress whether or not you like it. It’s somewhat coarse language but it’s not very dishonest.
I don’t believe Max is serious. I think he’s messing with everyone. Oops, I meant he or she is messing with us. I wouldn’t want to propagate gender stereotypes that all people named Max are male.
That’s a horny 15 year-old with a painted on ‘stache and goatee!
My son will be 15 next month. Please spare me the visual. I already have to put up with Family Guy.
On second thought, perhaps the “man” in the picture is 17.
No you dont! Just say no.
Hey, I wonder if the guy is just giving the thumbs-up gesture. Do you think that could be it? I may be the only one to comment this, but I’m willing to go out on a limb.
LOL. I dunno, I wanted to say he was giving a ‘thumbs up’ but I was afraid no one would agree with me. Now I just think he’s being a perv and grabbing her boob…
Does no one read the previous statements?
The hazard of AFP approving comments roughly once every twelve hours.
Pincho Villa strikes again!
Ok now, that’s a win!
Pincho Villa!
Priceless! love it!
the “sombrero wearing guy” is called a “Mariachi”
All we need now is a picture of the bride who pinched handyman butt out the window on this cruise on her honeymoon!
Photoshoppers, get busy! For once, we really want you!
Sure, he was just giving a thumb’s up… or using it as an excuse!
his awesomely drawn on “stache” goes great with the best hand placement ever!
does anyone else think that his goatee looks painted on????
Affirmative, I poked it, it was fake.
C’mon people! Enough with the thumbs up! You may be right but isn’t it more fun to think that this guy is a total perv preying on unsuspecting tourists… ahem!
Exactly, keep the dream alive baby. I want to hope that maybe, just maybe. In a far away land, no kids in site, that I too may have my booby tweaked by a dark and handsome man. Even if his fake facial hair does rub off on me.
This can be arranged.
YES.
Exactly. Thanks, CarpoolMom!
To me, if he were giving the thumbs up sign his fist would be closed with the thumb up. This guy seems to be a true PINCHER just like the title of this pic. I think they both got a cheap thrill out of it…hahahaaa.
Yes! I am a big fan of pervs in unsuspecting places! I have an adorable photo of my two toddler boys and myself with Donald Duck at EPCOT Center. Right after the picture was snapped I got a very discrete pat on the bottom from Donald. Every time I look at that picture I think, “Well played Mr. Duck, well played.”
Obviously he’s giving a thumbs up.
An unfortunately placed thumbs up, but still…
And he looks so innocent… not.
Maybe he’s just giving the thumbs up.
hace calor!
Ay ay ay! Es verdad
It’s safe to assume he felt just as awkward/surprised after seeing the alignment of his all-american gesture!
Could he also be giving a thumbs up sign?
“native dress” that’s almost as good as the picture…
Yah I liked that too!
Yes. I went on a cruise and the “native dress” on Catalina Island was a pirate costume.
Ummm, he’s obviously giving a thumbs up. He just happened to do it directly in front of her boob.
What’s up with the early cruise excursions? Everyone is on vacation and should be sleeping in.
I am wildly impressed at the masterful “thumbs up” positioning of this dude.
i was too
i actually have a LOT of photos that beat this.. and all unintentional. haha
unfortunately fam has an internet photo policy. DARN!
looks to me like he’s just doing a thumbs up
ROFL!!!
He is giving the thumbs up…. not pinching anyone… It just looks that way…..and i’m sure if someone pinched her booby she would have known it……
I think I laughed harder at the word “booby” than I did at the picture.
=)
Me too
I wouldn’t be arguing – he’s actually cute lol
Sign me up for a cruise!
Holy ShXX!
He’s obvioulsy giving a thumbs up sign, but funny never the less.
oh is THAT what he’s doing?! ha!
