Hi Shel and all,
A late comment on the original photograph.
I think it is interesting - the idea and the description, which
suggest that people in all walks of life can enjoy breakfast in bed.
It does give me to think, and in that sense it is a good photograph.
I agree with Jostein, however,

It is most evident now that you post these pics here with the purpose of
starting social/political debates and not artistical/technical ones
related to photography. May I suggest some other controversial subjects
like guns/abortion/religion. This would help make the list perfectly
