I think it's technically an LOL Cat even there's no text. What do you guys think?

I think the text is what makes it an image macro. It looks dumb, though.

I've seen that pic used as a kind of memetic thing on forums aside from this one, so I'd be fine with pulling it.

A better image would be a surefire way to remove that, and not very hard. I can't capture from Blu-ray, is there a good frame from the shot in Terminator 2 of the desert weapons cache?

It's safe for work, but I'm sure we could do better.

I think the category is "NSFW/LOLCat/Meme", effectively have to say that but probably not intended. Like "NSFW or LOLCat or Meme".

Oops! Getting back on topic, for this, I'd like maybe say...someone with a huge gun collection or polishing a large gun...

Too memetastic to keep, even without a replacement.

With all the gunfights in films, it would be easy to find a replacement, and the kitty is not really an example anyway.

I agree with the pull.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

Pulled for not being an example and meme issues.

It might be good for Cats Are Mean...

EDITED IN: As for Trigger-Happy, I'd suggest something from early in Wall E, wherein EVE fires at Wall-E as soon as he catches him following her. I'm typing from a library right now, but I might have a more specific screenshot (or set thereof) on my home computer...

[up] That sounds like a good idea. I've not actually seen the movie, but I know enough.

[up] No, that would not be a good picture for that page. It's still a meme, and Garfield is better.

[up] "Meme" doesn't necessarily mean "bad image." Shoehorning memes at the expense of other aspects of good or bad image is bad, but that doesn't necessarily mean you have to avoid using meme images just because they are meme images.

So the question becomes, why is the Garfield one "better"?

Actually, yes, they should be avoided "just because they are meme images".

I'd answer why if it was in the thread for IP on that trope.

Did you find a good Wall E pic?

[up] Forgot all about this thread until now. Here are a few options:








This is surprisingly difficult to demonstrate, even when using 2 ; or in the fourth case, 3; screenshots within the same image. o.o

EDITED IN: Swapped the second one for a higher-quality version of it.

Also, re: "Sounds like Wall of Weapons", didn't meant that... was going for the "really likes guns" part and there is some of that in the scene. S'ok tho. Such an image would not really be focused on a Trigger-Happy character, as it should be.
