  Sure, but the guy looks like a freaking-GQ model! It is ok to photograph 
the 
homeless as long as they don't appear to be homeless! More irony. 

If you photographed a homeless guy who looked terrible, THAT would probably 
violate Kyle's rule...

Yeah? Nothing ironic about the inclusion of a pic of a homeless man in the 
post, 
then?

Oh, no, Kyle wasn't being ironic, that would be a "shortcut to meaning" and 
he 
obviously doesn't take shortcuts to meaning, he takes the long way around.

Reading what you and Adam have written, it surely cannot be any surprise 
whatsoever that it is said that Americans think irony is a foreign language.
