Poor Image: Ugly Guy Hot Wife

That doesn't mean that "real life images" will always be banned, just that someone can make clear to those viewing the thread from the board that "real life image" is the reason for the thread.

Real life images are inappropriate when they call a real, living person ugly.

What about Baron and Baroness Bomburst from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang? A couple images that come up on a GIS are this and this, which are a bit low on the "ugly", and this, in which he's trying to strangle her using her hair. I can't find a good-quality shot from the end of "Chu Chi Face" when they're being all couple-y, sadly.

I wouldn't say they're necessarily always inappropriate, it just depends on what the reasons are in favour of doing so. In this case I don't think the reasons are strong enough.

The "ugly" part only applies very mildly to that. He seems more like a fairly normal-looking middle-aged man.

Agreed. He doesn't look ugly to me, just older than her.

That's a good one.

I like that one, both for the characters' appearances and their expressions!

Wh... what was wrong with the Daioh one again?

I think that one get the point across well. It's an old guy, not hideous, but definitely not a sex symbol either. His wife is easy on the eyes. She may not be attractive in the sexual sense, but she's pretty. She's cute. She looks a lot younger than he is. it gets the point across.

The guy in Brave doesn't exactly look butt-ugly. He looks kind of average looking, and we specifically mentioned to stay away from that. Who knows, he looks kind of manly. (Of course, I'm a guy, so I can't tell these things.)

I like it also. The contrast is not as exaggerated ugly/hot as possible, but it is definitely there.

The guy in the Azumanga Daioh one looks a lot more average than the Brave one to me. I honestly think there's a bigger contrast in the Brave poster.

The brave one is kind of good looking, actually, due to Generic Cuteness or whatever the equivalence is for men. However, he has such a goofy expression I think the picture still works.

I like the Brave one.

I wouldn't necessarily call the guy in the Brave pic "ugly", but the contrast is enough that I'd support the pic...it's better than anything else that's been proposed.

I'm for a crowner.

Im for the Brave image.

I can't decide between that and the Azumanga one.

Could we get a slightly taller crop of the Brave one?

Very good.

That works. He's not horribly ugly, but there's enough contrast that it works.

I like the Brave pic. Do we really need a crowner?

No, it's got enough consensus with the last coupla votes that we can run with it.

EDIT: It's up, potholed, and tagged; I think it says enough on its own, but if anyone wants to add a caption, go for it. Locking up.
