A photographer in Xiamen has been condemned for lying in wait to get these unfortunate (but, we admit, amusing) pictures of people on bikes hitting a pot-hole submerged in rainwater. According to Ananova, one netizen wrote: "The pictures are well shot, but the person who shot this is disgusting. He knew there was a pit, but was waiting htere for someone to fall over." The photographer defended himself by arguing that without the pictures, the government would have never noticed the pit. (Oof, turns out this whole story is at least four years old. On the bright side, chances are the pot hole has actually been fixed by now! Thanks @apgalbraith for the check.)
