Lars Ohly, is the former party chairman of the Swedish Left Party (
Vänsterpartiet), a socialist and feminist political party in Sweden. He is also a fan and supporter of the English Premier League football (soccer for you Yanks) club
Liverpool FC and a user of
Instagram.
Two days ago Ohly proudly put up a picture on Instagram of the new Liverpool tattoo on the calf, of his left leg without thoroughly checking the picture he had taken first. As it turned out the picture happened to show more than he intended. Parts of his... ehmmmm... "junk" was showing in the picture.

The picture provoked instant reactions from some of his followers.
Carl Bildt, the Swedish Foreign Minister congratulated him on Twitter for the fact that he had
"finally made his breakthrough in social media after trying so many years".
Håkan Juholt, former party chairman of The Swedish Social Democratic Party, sent a text message to Ohly informing him that he - after seeing the picture - had changed his barbeque plans
"from wieners to chicken".

You want the uncensored picture I hear you crying, my dear readers. I think I may have spoilt you too much, but I cannot be so cruel as to deny you this small favor.

Ohly has since removed the picture, but seems to take all the attention he has gotten with lots of humor noting that he has gained many new followers and that his wife has told him that she will have to check all the pictures he uploads in the future.
