[sumo] Dreadful Commercialism of Sumo

[Jim Bitgood]

This picture is pretty much the same as the one in "Runners World." 
The Aerosmith album picture is only similar, taken from a slightly 
different angle - higher and slightly to the left of Konishiki's 
opponent. The Hyundai ad in RW is from directly behind Konishiki's 
opponent. It is also cropped to a width that barely goes shoulder to 
shoulder for Konishiki's massive bulk.
