    The “Gangsta” images are not actually gangsta. They are mexican comedy actors form the 50’s ~ 80’s. Gangsta 1 is “Cantinflas” very famous in all Latin America ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantinflas ). Gangsta 2 is “Tin Tan” ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germán_Valdés ) They were very famous, specially on the B&W TV age.

    @Wykkochan: Thanks for pointing that out. I didn’t chose the titles though, but got them from Flickr.
