Motion to pull
Doesn't demonstrate the trope.
Pull. It's just an S&M pinup and a caption.

"Motion to pull"
So appropriate for this thread.
I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.I think it's supposed to work in tandem with the caption. That is, it provides a conventionally attractive (i.e. smoking hot) woman in bondage gear and declares in the caption that if you find her attractive, you are a bad person.
Not sure it that's optimal, but you have to give it credits for that.
Anyway. Mental image: Obviously Evil character harrassing someone in bondage gear. Are there even worksafe versions around for that?

The words above are to be read as if they are narrated by Morgan Freeman.Maybe something from the Hellraiser series?
If a chicken crosses the road and nobody else is around to see it, does the road move beneath the chicken instead?Pulled.
Well, I'm sure whoever put that picture there didn't intend it as an actual illustration. More like a joke regarding the trope.
Suggestion for more serious illustration: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossover_%28Star_Trek:_Deep_Space_Nine%29
In summary: The linked page is about a Star Trek DS 9 episode where Kira come to the settings Mirror Universe. In this world she meet her evil Alternate Self, who's evil is communicated to the audience by her wearing a dress that would fit at a fetish club. The page illustration for this page might do, but I'm sure there's better images in the actual episode.
Caption would be something like: "Which Alternate Self is the evil one? The one dressed as if she's at a fetish club, of course!"
Another idea could be to find one of those drawings where the regular Good Angel, Bad Angel has been replaced by a woman in cutsey clothes and a woman in bondage gear.
Buh? How does that show the trope? She's not even showing any skin, it looks like generic alien clothing.

Fight smart, not fair.I have to agree with Deboss on this.
If a chicken crosses the road and nobody else is around to see it, does the road move beneath the chicken instead?If anything that shows bondage is good, as angels apparently practise it.
The words above are to be read as if they are narrated by Morgan Freeman.That, and it's borderline NSFW.
...I'm afraid to google "demon bondage".
Fight smart, not fair.Well I'm not!
And it's not that much. Sure there's a lot of NSFW, but nothing that really shows the trope.
I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.A lot of Yaoi "Yaoi" Chains of Love and preachy church type pictures....
and this.

Yeah!
If a chicken crosses the road and nobody else is around to see it, does the road move beneath the chicken instead?Sadly, I don't think the original picture was a joke. We've had a rash of completely non-indicative photos off Google Image Search with a caption telling us how the supposedly illustrate the trope. (The picture on Humans Are Ugly was a similar kind of thing.)
EDIT: Wait, that picture is still up on Humans Are Ugly.
The demon/angel picture probably doesn't work either.

It does not matter who I am. What matters is, who will you become? - motto of Omsk BirdThe caption on this one could have come later as an attempt to repair, but honestly it's not that rash in my opinion. They use this technique of setting up a different context via the caption, which is valid, although probably won't be too popular around IP unless very good (e.g. the one on My Greatest Failure).
On #18, that's quite nice, however (correct me if I'm being Red Paint Defense-ish here) wouldn't it imply that the angel is a masochist? That is, she's into S&M just as much as the demon, only on a different role?
The words above are to be read as if they are narrated by Morgan Freeman.If that is the case then it would imply that she is having a relationship with something that is obviously evil.
If a chicken crosses the road and nobody else is around to see it, does the road move beneath the chicken instead?The one in 18 is a little better but I still don't think it works. The fact that the angel is wearing lingerie for no apparent reason implies that she really doesn't have a problem with what's going on.
Reaction Image RepositoryJust asking for clarification here. Does the trope means bondage itself is bad, or does it means people who practice bondage are bad people?

Well, it's just a lady in bondage gear, but isn't doing anything that looks remotely evil.
