Caption within the image makes it a borderline demotivator. Plus, it just shows a guy who has a bunch of machetes, but not actually using one.

While I agree that the giant words probably aren't necessary, I really don't think we need to show him actively using it. The way the picture is structured makes it clear that he's pretty obviously about to carve somebody up. I mean, I don't think anybody is going to look at that picture and say "Oh, he must be a machete salesman".

Suggestion: Cut the text out of the pic and change the caption to "No way this guy belongs here."

I was thinking the text was from the fake trailer, but i just watched it again and there isn't any text. And the line you hear when opens his coat is "they just fucked with the wrong Mexican."

Might I venture to say that it should also interest you to know, ladies and gentlemen, that the bitmap-computer-image in question is 495 picture-elements in width!

Clock is set. Any objections to just swapping [up][up] for the page pic?

Not really. I wouldn't really change the caption, though; probably just make it

They call him "Machete". Gee, I wonder why?
