I know a lot of us have problem seen this floating around for a few years now - but I was wondering if anyone knew anymore information on this photo?
I was under the impression it was one photo in a series that explored the Id. Someone told me this was used in a diesel campaign - but im looking to put this on my blog and give proper credit to the artist. Anyone have any clue?

What the hell is going on in “Getting Lindsay Linton”?
Revenge. This is an image about rage, hatred, and the discomfort of experiencing those emotions. In “Understanding Joshua” the world is, among other things, divided between blondes and brunettes. The brunettes exist (in the mind of Joshua) on a similar plain as he does, while the blondes inhabit a superior world of cleanliness, beauty, and organization. “Getting Lindsay Linton” illustrates a violent outburst against a blonde, maybe for Joshua’s entertainment, maybe his torture--it is unclear as they hold him and force him to watch. I feel that the image “Fantasy” helps further explain Joshua’s position on such acts against those he perceives as socially superior--at least his repressed urges. “Getting Lindsay Linton” is important because it helps to destabilize reading the events and actions within the image as literal, that is to say, Lindsay does not have milk on her face, and this gang of young men is not just holding her.
