I find it a wonderful commentary.  On what, I'm not sure, but there is a 
message there.  The usual saguaro in the foreground has been replaced with 
human disfigurement of Nature (powerlines carrying juice to countless homes 
watching banal nonsense on TV while a spectacle of Nature is underway) and a 
past event betraying the decadent nonsense of those without feeling for what it 
would mean for the average kid in less wealthy countries to own those shoes.

Seems like a meaningful APOD to me.

Pretty sure I won't be submitting this one for an Astronomy Picture of the Day.
