Huff Po's Sense of Humor

I don't understand this photograph.

The Huffington Post used it as their picture for an imported article from boston.com about the Depression.

What the hell does this picture have to do with the economic crisis?

And then it hit me.

It must be a picture of the elderly receiving painless suicide injections as one might have seen in the cinema classic, Soylent Green.

Nah, it's probably just old folks lining up for their flu shots, but I like my idea better. It's more apocalyptic.
