Uhh lame image macro: Oh The Humanity

Um seriously bad pun and lame image macro.

Sparkling and glittering! Jan-Ken-Pon!

Meh, poor quality image, if it weren't for its caption you'd be unable to tell it's a manatee.

This needs moar Helen Lovejoy.

I fixed the image-macro part. I think it is funny.

Goal: Clear, Concise and Witty

Should we pothole it to Visual Pun? We just zapped her from the Think of the Children! page, so that's unlikely.

I like it fixed.

That'd (the potholing) be cool.

Motion to pull:

It's an awful pun, it has nothing to do with the trope and it's of bad quality. Voting imageless.

Let's see a replacement first. Then we can talk.

"We are not a stuffy encyclopedic wiki. We're a buttload more informal".

This was never funny. I support a pull.

Besides, it jokes about a real-world disaster that killed people and took place less than 100 years ago. I support the pull.

This implies, quite correctly, that my mind is dark and damp and full of tiny translucent fish.

Too soon?

...

Are you for real? :|

"We are not a stuffy encyclopedic wiki. We're a buttload more informal".

Not really. Well, I suppose there are people alive who know people who died in the accident, but the odds of them visiting that page and being offended are minimal. What I wrote was some sort of semi-ironical not-quite-joke that seems rather pointless in retrospect. I do support the pull though, because the image doesn't add anything to the page.

Eh, you had me worried for a moment here... Seriously guys, don't take this stuff too seriously. Relax and have fun, too. :) As for the picture, meh, it's just a silly, harmless pun; maybe it's not adding to the trope itself but it doesn't seems to detract from it, either. Maybe we should put this to votes? Or go for a better quality pic? The web is full of them.

At any rate, I'd be against a pull, unless a better picture is found.

"We are not a stuffy encyclopedic wiki. We're a buttload more informal".

Just because I think this picture is unfunny and insensitive, doesn't mean I can't have fun. Please don't assume that just because people don't find these things funny they lack a sense of humour!

Honestly, I think the Visual Pun's funny. If someone can find an actual example, let's set it.

I love the picture, and it seems like so do a bunch of people. At any rate, since no one has suggested an alternative, could we maybe close up this thread to take the notification off the page?
