Joy Ride: 1924

I am the owner of the above image, Joy Ride: 1924. It was among my father's personal photographs. Needless to say, I was disturbed to find it posted publicly at http://detonate.com/shocking-historical-photos/38/
 I know that SHORPY would not sell my upoaded image and wonder if anyone can tell me how I can get this site (detonate.com) to remove it.

(Thought you'd all slip under the radar, did you? That this embarrassing little artifact would just go on collecting dust at the bottom of a box somewhere? Well. Guess what. Not only did they invent radar, they invented computers and scanners and the Internet. Bwahaha. View full size!)

Washington, D.C., 1923. "Whistle Bottling Works." Yet another outpost in the Whistle beverage empire. View full size. National Photo Company Collection glass negative.
