Expo Label has the same picture as Crippling Overspecialization. I'm not sure which one should be replaced; on Crippling Overspecialization its something of a JAFAAC, but Expo Label has some pretty good alternatives ready to go (such as the third panel here).

[up] I like the suggestion for Expo Label, especially if we include the next panel with Annie's reaction.

If we do replace the one on Expo Label, I'd recommend moving that version to Crippling Overspecialization - less artifacting.

So does anyone have any suggestions for Crippling Overspecialization? The current one is...okay, but there has to be a better one out there.

Considering that Crippling Over Specialization is kind of a hard thing to depict, I say keep the Jimmy Olsen image there. Besdies, it's funny. grin

The image displays "overspecialization". It doesn't display "crippling". We can do better.

Perhaps a picture of Razor Fist with a comment on his inability to feed himself thanks to his razor fists?

[up][up] I like that idea. A picture that shows the razor better?

[up][up]Drag the link into your address bar. That often helps work around the typical 401/500/503 hotlinking errors.

I'm liking the first one. Better quality.

[up] Agreed. "...how does he use the bathroom?" as the caption?

I'd prefer something like "Good at fighting, bad at feeding himself." I'm just not a fan of Toilet Humor (yes, I know I'm being overly prudish, I'm just stating my opinion).

[up]I don't think it's necessarily prudish to dislike tacky humour.

The Internet misuses, abuses, and overuses everything.

Even if we don't have a caption, are we good with the first Razorfist suggestion?

Don't you think that's taking the word "crippling" a little too literally? On the other hand, is the guy crippled because he has blades for hands, or does he have blades for hands because he's crippled?

I think the camera-smashing robot captures the essence of the trope perfectly.

Well, the clock's up and we need to move on this. I went ahead and put up one of the Razor Fist pics with the shorter suggested caption. Locking up.
