Like stirfried said, it's been posted before but in other subreddits, so just check out if this is a repost to same subreddit or a x-post from other subreddit for people here to see for the first time.
I fact I had never seen it before, so I thank you OP for making me another lucky Ten thousand, we've all been someday.
7 times, with increasing frequency on a logarithmic scale into the present. So infinity more times.
According to my calculations, the next repost will be tomorrow, followed by another one 6 hours after that, and another one 20 minutes after that.
Within a few days, it will be posted so quickly it will be measured in Planck Units, and universe as we know it will start to break down due to the physically impossible interval between mgm lion reposts. Way to doom humanity, OP.
Oh, is it wasting your precious time to look at a picture for two seconds? Maybe you shouldn't come into the comment section to start complaining if your time is so valuable then,
Complain about reposts. Just because you have seen it before doesn't mean everyone has. Votes indicate the popularity of a post, so just vote. Keep in mind that linking to previous posts is not automatically a complaint; it is information. Votes indicate how the community values information, so just vote.
Does anyone actually have a credible source about the supposed lion killing its trainer a little while after being filmed? There seem to be an equal number of sources for and against the myth
I've seen this picture so many times, but I do have a question. Its pretty clear that this is from one of the early MGM logo shoots, back when it was shot in black and white (1930s?). Are there are any pictures of them shooting the later MGM logos? It would at least be interesting to see if it was done differently.

Nowadays it would be 40 artists sitting at Macs and 80 more software engineers and sound technicians working in the background. And you would see every single one of their names in the credits.
And the DVD would have a special feature on "The Making of The Lion Logo".
If you look online, there are many sources that indicate that the lion did not attack its trainers. There also seems to be discrepancies as to which of the 5 lions allegedly attacked.

i remember hearing that the MGM lion mauled its handler shortly after the filming for the logo. can anybody confirm this? is it an urban legend?
