People Are Comparing This Picture Of Drunk Partygoers To Fine Art

New Years Eve is one of the few days it is socially acceptable encouraged, even to be a hot, drunken mess.

Many people, naturally, use this to their advantage; watching people staggering out of bars is expected as the old year turns new. Still, it makes for some pretty entertaining people-watching.

Such was the case this past New Years Eve in Manchester, UK.

While documenting the evenings festivities, photographer Joel Goodman stumbled upon a scene seemingly out of a movie. Police were wrestling one drunken partygoer to the ground while another was in the street nearby, beer in hand.

Goodman snapped a photo of the raucous scene and posted it to a New Years Eve gallery on the Manchester Evening News website, where it quickly took on a life of its own.

It began when one Twitter user compared the hilarious image to fine art.

Another narrowed down the type of art

and others took the comparison and ran with it.

Some used Photoshop to make it even more art-y

and others superimposed parts of the picture on famous works of art.

Some pointed out the photos perfect composition.

Others analyzed the scene and isolated the images natural subject.

It got a bit out of control.

Moral of the story: Dont make an ass of yourself if photographers are lurking nearby.
