A little while ago, a Flemish site posted pictures of Asian Soccer Babes. That site rebranded the images and removed the original message and never credited the author or source. Other sites thought the Flemish site was the source and started linking to it. I think it’s a shame claiming other people’s work like this. It’s lame. As you can see (if you go follow the links above), the original message has been deliberately removed. How hard can it be to link to a source? If you’re editing the pictures, then at least give some linklove.
These images were featured on flickrbabes.com, which probably is where the Flemish blokes got their juice. They were originally posted on a Chinese blog, and then uploaded to Flickr by Steven Young.
Santini47 says the Chinese on the picture means “Mr. Fashion” and the rest of the words on Flickr roughly mean: “The Wild Animal Soccer of Mr. Fashion” (or “…The Fashion Gentleman”) or something alike. These photos also appeared on a Nanjing blog watermarked by a certain “Leesum” (which means bereavement). Santini47 thinks he has a lead to these pictures for Esquire China’s June Edition, but a subscription is needed, so there’s no link. Too bad.

Heheh. Ik ben daar helemaal geen regular hoor, ik heb de link gevonden op del.icio.us, en zo kwam ik daar terecht. Louter toeval. Bij nader inzien heb ik toch maar een NSFW tagje gezet, ik had de mainpage nog niet bekeken.

Fantastisch! Tot slot vond iemand de oorsprong van deze zijn beelden – me heeft geërgerd om niet te weten waar zij kwamen van (droevig over mijn Nederlands, ben ik niet zeer goed)

AdFreak also mistakingly published this as a Zattevrienden.be ad.
I corrected in comments, but they don’t seem to wanna edit or update the post though.

Chiel, yeah someone has to do the dirty work ;-)
But as said before, I hardly have time to play with it; it’s something that is done by some friends in Australia, China, Netherlands and US.
Dabitch, your Dutch is great and much better than my Danish!

Ha! Marco, how much Danish do you speak? ;) Honestly now. Can you say “En øl tak” and “En pølse tak”? Because that’ll be plenty in the land of Carlsberg and hot dogs. I’m afraid there are no Febo bars nor bitterballen here.
