This article has a picture consisting of a blank box with a caption saying, "There was an awesome image here, but it got stolen." I get the joke, but it also looks like a space saying "put picture here." Isn't there a better picture for something like this?

You have to Wiki Word the article for it to work.

I don't know, I can live with it, but it could be changed. Is The One Ring above being JAFAAC? or is there an image of it that conveys the trope?

I think it's a joke image, everyone wants the Artifact of Attraction so much that they stole it out of the wiki page? It has an Image Links page, but I can't find a previous IP thread on it.

ETA: That said, if we can find something clearer, I'm all for it.

The joke image really doesn't describe the trope, but I didn't see anything in the examples list that could make for a succinct pic.

Maybe the big battle over the enchanted smarty pants doll?

[up]That could work, although it'll be tough getting a picture that shows it well.

How about this one from earlier in that episode?

I wish there was some way to make it more obvious that it's the doll causing the attraction rather than them just liking it for normal reasons.

I think the fact that the hearts are radiating from it helps. I will admit I like the current picture as a self-demonstrating version though.

I think the artifact should look more like an artifact for the image to be clear. Not being familiar with the work, to me the last image looks like there's some small grey creature sleeping on the grass, and three ponies have fallen in love with it.

How about this pic of the apple of dischord?

We'd just have to contact the author.

Looks more like three witches are cursing a guy with an apple, or cursed him to be inside it, or are using it for scrying.

I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.

I don't know where you get witches from, since it's just three outstretched hands reaching for a reflective apple. It could very well be one of the women's faces being reflected. But anyway, onwards and upwards.

At the risk of getting an equally rotund refusal, there's this pic of the three goddesses, and this one of Mandy from Billy And Mandy (I can probably clean out the logo). Then there's just about any panel from this Looking For Group comic.

Clock is set.

Motion to pull

The pic doesn't demonstrate the trope at all.

Hearing nothing, let's go ahead and lock this and see if another thread comes up.
