I tried to find a screencap of someone looking less than thrilled at the popcorn cart or the carousel horse from both The Price Is Right and Lets Make A Deal and came up blank on both of them.

I've been looking for that for ages, but I can't find a very good one at all. Just leads me to popcorn carts at "a good price". I need more help here guys, I'm trying my best to find some crap prizes!

Yeah, pull it. The problem with using it as an image is that it doesn't capture the circumstances that make it crappy.

[up] ... Why pull it? I think the fact that it's a rug is adequate to show that it's not a great prize. Even if it's less than ideal, as I understand it the policy is currently to keep images until a better image is suggested, except for cases where the image is truly egregiously terrible, which this one is not.

I don't understand how the current pic could fail to show the trope. The lights and the bug indicate that it's obviously a gameshow, and one would not care to win a carpet over any other prize they could win on the show. Unless every single prize were furniture, which is not a rational assumption to make about your standard gameshow.

I'm not crazy, I just don't give a darn!
