A family portrait proclaiming to show "peace on Earth" has drawn the ire of social media.
In it, a family of five is shown, but the three females in the photo have their mouths taped shut while a smiling dad holds the "peace on Earth" sign and the son flashes a thumbs-up.
The photo was taken by Hannah Hawkes Photography, a photographer based in Rosepine, Louisiana. She said the photo was taken at the family's request, that she knows them well and "was in no way meant to promote abuse."
Social media users commented on the photo disapprovingly, calling it a form of abuse.
One user, Emily De Los Santos, even said, "I bet all these people laughing at the photo are voting for Donald Trump."
Not everyone saw a problem, however.
A good number of users, both men and women, said they found the photo funny and that more people need to have a sense of (dark) humor about it.
Finally, Peace on Earth!
