I like kissing inanimate objects as much as the next guy. That's why this post needs a NSFW.

Like, I'm the only one who likes to kiss the flag.

My advice after many adventures and a long slog through life: Kiss the one you love as much as possible.

And don't waste your kisses on inanimate objects.

Worth it if nothing else for Miss Ethiopia at the end.

Utterly charming. Thanks for giving me warm fuzzies on a dull Tuesday morning!

Mohammad Naeim kisses the body of his son Besmellah, who was allegedly killed in an airstrike by foreign forces in Siavoshan village, east of Herat, Afghanistan, in a car outside Herat hospital on August 17, 2009.

"Foreign forces".... nice.

Your tax dollars at work.

Better than I expected, and I expect a lot from The Big Picture. Thanks.

We should just have a sticky link to the Big Picture, because it's always awesome.

The last one with the sea lion looked way too ripe for a LOLcat caption. Unfortunately, I just don't have it in me to come up with a good one.

very cool collage of photos. The son of Ted Kennedy kissing Kennedy's casket was moving.

These are nice photos. Two things that occurred to me as I was looking through them:
1. The picture of the Ukrainian President kissing the flag - my first thought was , "Man, that's weird, we don't really kiss the flag in the US..." and then a few pictures later there actually *was* one of a guy kissing the American flag, but it turned out to be for a play in Jordan, so my point sort of stands - Americans are not so much into flag-kissing for some reason.
2. There were no gay male couples kissing, and only one lesbian couple - in the context of a new marriage equality law. I feel like it would have been nice to also a male couple and/or include a gay couple (whether male or female) kissing in some not-politically-charged context: people going about their daily lives, who just happen to be gay. I would have been cool with cutting one of the FIVE different pictures of people kissing animals to make space for that.
