Flickr members respond to Microsoft’s offer to buy Yahoo! (Yahoo! own Flickr) with a photo group titled The Microsoft: Keep Your Evll Grubby Hands Off Of Our Flickr.

Imagine a circus act in which two enormous, clumsy, awkward elephants that don’t really like each other are supposed to mate while riding on skateboards. Now imagine that it is your job, you lucky bastard, to be one of the little circus clowns standing alongside trying to make this extremely unnatural and unholy act take place.
