The story behind Kirk Cameron’s sad birthday photo

By Dylan Stableford | The Cutline – 17 hrs ago

Kirk Cameron, star of the popular '80s sitcom "Growing Pains," celebrated his 41st birthday earlier this week. Cameron, who is now pursuing a new television career as a Christian evangelist and co-host of an evangelical show called "The Way of the Master," spent his birthday at Living Waters Ministry in Bellflower, Calif. The ministry's staff threw him a small party, and ordered from Subway. Lane Chaplin, a student at nearby Trinity Law School and a guest at the party, snapped a photo of Cameron blowing out the candles on a cake in Living Waters' rather sparse conference room. Chaplin uploaded the photo to Twitter. It quickly went viral.

"See a Very Sad Photo From Kirk Cameron's Birthday Party" the headline on New York magazine's Vulture blared. "We're not totally sure where this photo came from (and whether it's real, or from a movie set), but regardless of its origins: oh dear." The Washington Post's Jen Chaney launched a caption contest. Uproxx.com photoshopped Cameron some friends.

According to a person at the party who spoke to The Cutline, there were 10-15 people behind the camera when the photo of Cameron was taken. And none of them, it seems, was aware the photo went viral.

"Yup," Chaplin, a Christian vlogger, wrote in response to a Twitter message asking if the photo was real. "Are people posting it on the web?"

Right before he blew the candles out, he wished he was more like Jesus....there was only one Subway sandwich then.

10 or 15 people behind the camera, with the table set for 5? Please don't lie. You are Christians remember?

Looks like the woman in the photo would rather be at a funeral followed by a trip to the proctolgist, then a root canal and finally, arriving home to find their husbands in bed with each other! They are the ones I feel sad for!

4. That's what a lot of the first couple of pages from the 9,000+ comments said. n/t

2. I am surprised that he didn't have the footlongs on the table removed for making him "uncomfortable"

;)

3. my god that is .... cheerless. nt

5. There's a footlong sandwich for each of the attendees

The smaller sandwiches must be for the camera guy the lighting guy and their assistant.

7. ???

It's a man, blowing out candles. What's so sad about it? Most of the few people around stood behind the camera, instead of in front of it, because you're really trying to get a picture of the birthday guy or girl.

If that's sad...that's every quickly thrown office birthday party, I've attended. Some goofball says...hey it's Jim's party, someone get a cake.

Maybe the one leaning on the door is thinking...gee, I hope I don't have to cook tonight or...gee, why won't my husband pick up his socks off the floor.

------------------------
On an even goofier note, isn't it interesting that anyone actually wants a piece of cake, after some yokel blows his breath all over it, trying to blow out candles?
