"Would mentioning said URL somewhere in the caption be an option?"... uh... okay... but why? And is there a way to do that without an obvious shoehorn?

[up][up]It's just good manners to link the image to the source, if we know what it is.

We already linked the image (caption) to the source. Should we link the actual image?

[up] The caption does not link to the source. It links to a news article; one that does not feature that parody at all, for that matter.

Then link there and I think we're good here.

The link is to a news story about the RIAA calling for PCs to have a worm... I mean, "application"... that transmits to them personal data and thereby fights copyright infringement. That is relevant to the (not very funny anyway) Hypocritical Humor joke about the totalitarian Communist devils. It's not clear, concise, or witty. Feel free to change, don't think anybody will object.

There's a page note saying No Real Life Examples. So this should go.

This is way past being ready to close...I'm going to leave the pic; if someone wants to argue how far to take that "no RL examples" note, we can debate it in a new thread. Locking up.
