We all know that Terry Richardson is one who persistently tries to shock the world, sometimes with appalling taste. When he’s not trying his hardest, there is always an army of girls willing to make up elaborate lies about the photographer which keeps his shock value ever present.

However over the weekend some photos started dissapearing off Terry Richardson’s blog, namely, an image of Linday Lohan with a gun to her head. There has been discussion in the fashion community to whether this was out of taste, or copyright/originality reasons.

Here’s our two cents; We hope that Terry removed these because of their appaling distaste. Whilst we love Lindsay Lohan and think she could be The 21st century Monroe. Pulling this kind of stunt with a girl who is obviously fragile in some cases, is jaw dropping. It familiarises the situation, it make an easy thought process and connection between the photograph, and the action.

If anyone things this image hasn’t affected Lohan mentally, even sub consciously, then they have another thing coming. Terry Richardson, calm down, seriously, before someone gets hurt.
