June 8, 1972
Photo: Nick Ut/AP
On June 8, 1972, during the Vietnam War, Nick Ut made a photograph showing terrified children running away from a napalm attack on their home village. Nick Ut later won the Pulitzer prize for his photo, which was shown all over the world as one of the many images depicting the full horror of war. The background events to the photo are explained in the read worthy article The Bigger Picture.

35 years later, the same photographer makes another photo which goes around the world. It shows a crying Paris Hilton who got sent back to jail to serve the 45-day sentence she was convicted to for violating the terms of an existing probation.
I leave it to the reader to draw their own conclusions.
