Don’t click this link! It’s from a gang of spam-accounts hosting images on popular threads. They host 1 image on a private site with a lot of ads.
The 9 in that picture seems to be more covered than the 9 in my picture! I’m guessing they just took the same pic maybe a little while after when I took this one. It’s a pretty high traffic place. I wonder how the 9 is doing now.
