The picture is not the real problem with the question. It's just a distraction.

@RobertHarvey If the question were not getting huge numbers of upvotes and lots of attention then no one would care about it. As a question it's borderline, but borderline questions get asked and answered (or asked and closed and improved and answered) with some regularity, and it's not all that damaging to the site. The problem is that this particular borderline question is disproportionately popular, and the otherwise meaningless picture is part of what made it so.

I don't care if there's a picture in the post, but not that one. Firstly, there's no attribution to where it's being "borrowed" from, and secondly, it's an image that is popularly re-used so there's little hope in finding the original source. There are plenty of public domain or CC licensed images that can be used instead
