Identity of Vancouver Kissing Couple - Revealed


Make Love not War...It was only a matter of time before the world learned the identities of the kissing couple from that now-iconic photo of the Vancouver riots.
After a day that the photos were passed on through emails, blog posts and social networking sites, the identities of the famous kissing couple were revealed. The boyfriend and girlfriend in the said picture are Aussie bartender Scott Jones and Canadian college student Alex Thomas, who was injured before the photo was taken.

The two were dating when they somehow found themselves between the angry rioters and charging riot police later that night.

So how were Jones and Thomas ultimately identified as the unlikely "make love, not war" couple of Vancouver's embarrassing night of injury and destruction?

It probably won't surprise you to learn that Facebook was involved.
