Fun With Wikipedia: Fire Island
January 7, 2010
So, I’m watching this movie called The Wackness (review coming soon) and some of the characters head to Fire Island. I’ve heard of this place a bunch, but mostly in a Fountains Of Wayne song, but didn’t know anything about it, which lead me to checking out the Wiki page (which you can read here). Anyway, I was delighted to see the following picture on the site with the caption “Tourists on the ocean-side beach of Fire Island Pines.” As long as I say that the photo was taken by, snicker, David Shankbone, I can post it here. Looks like a fun place!

That is a pretty nice pic. Male or female I enjoy looking at bodies of people who take care of themselves.
I agree! I also think it’s funny that the pic is no longer featured on the Wiki page. Strange, that.
I haven’t been to Fire Island but understand it is a “substantially” gay community. That pic hints at that. Funny that seems to still offend people.
I trust the Island continues to exist after Irene!
Fire Island is about 75% straight. There are eight communities on the island. Only, Cherry Grove and The Pines are mostly gay. I believe this photo was taken in The Pines.
Interesting, I wonder if that’s why they changed the image on Wiki.
