The trope Blatant Item Placement is about how video games contain lots of powerups in unlikely places (such as functional firearms in a thousand-year-old tomb). The image here, however, is from Alice In Wonderland, and doesn't demonstrate this: it's a girl next to a table, holding a bottle. I don't think a table is an unlikely place for a bottle.

Motion to pull, because it doesn't demonstrate the trope. It should be easy to find a video game screenshot of e.g. a swamp or cavern with a shiny new gun lying in it.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

Serious Sam might provide an example picture, there are plenty of time you will find a weapon hanging (floating) around.

Clock expired, no consensus on replacement image. Locking.
