They're not all in step on the original, either.

Might want to brush up on "Paul is Dead" on Google.

Note he is barefoot as well. Some other hints too.

He's holding the phone with his right hand instead of his left hand. That's actually significant in this case since he's a left handed person. Therefore the person in the photo was a right handed double playing the part of Paul since he's dead.

It’s the album cover for the Beatles’ Abbey Road from 1969, but now they all are looking at cellphones. I took it more as a dig at all the people on the streets into their phones as opposed to something Beatles specific.

This. It has nothing to do with beatles. It's a dig at people living on the phones, also probably a nod to the idiots who fall in manholes or walk into traffic, fountains, walls, etc.

But back to the Firefly cast dressed in Star Trek uniforms and gadgets, with a logo that says Star Wars. We never got that far in the explanation.

Nothing to explain, you either find the picture amusing—or you don’t.

Why do you think this isn’t the original picture, photoshopped?

^ It is a photoshopped photo.

I don’t think you understand. Radioman doesn’t need me to explain for him, but he was referring to the original album cover and the “Paul is dead” legend. I am certain he knows the picture is photoshopped.

I just thought it was a funny picture; didn’t mean to stir shit up.

I take these as a dig to the casual fan that gets them mixed up,,

and a dig at the sci fi geeks (raises hand) who take some of it a bit too serious

I didn't know what it was a picture of, just that one guy was not in step. I knew it was a joke about everyone staring at their phones.

Yep, thems the Beatles. A somewhat local band to England. Liverpool to be more precise. I hear they did pretty well. Wink

My picture reply is the equal to the written: "Winner winner, chicken dinner".

In that, darthfuster, nails it.

At first I didn't get it either, but I think the "the Monkey" is trying to say "winner-winner chicken dinner!" Wink
