Poor Image: Country Matters

This is the "image" for the trope page:

I'd say this hardly even counts as an image, as it's just large text written in Impact. Maybe it would work as a page quote, but as an image, it's bad.

Hmmmm...that's about as close as we can get to capturing this one without straying into hazardous territory, but I do think it'd be better to have a character saying this or some similar pun. It wouldn't be a bad thing to just call this a "no pic" page and be done, either.

I like this image as a nice punny statement. The caption, however, is grammatically incorrect.

"You'll also ought to..."

[up] I changed it to "You'll also want to..."

The sad thing is, this has got me thinking of all kinds of variants on that theme. #dirtymind

[up][up][up]I wouldn't mind it being a no image page. Like you said, if we do have an image, it should be a character making a pun. Either that, or maybe some kind of street sign or advertisement using the trope in a stealthy way.

The image, even if it's just text, is better than no picture. Well, barely. Or rather, it wouldn't be an improvement to remove the pic.

[up]We could get rid of the image without getting rid of the content if we put the phrase as a page quote instead of a jpeg. The sentence would still be there, but in a different form. Would that be a good alternative?

There should only be one page quote, and the Ulysses one is better.

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.

[up] Agreed. How's this? It's a real song by Kesha.

[up][up]That works. It's the kind of Getting Crap Past the Radar I was hoping for.

One or two more votes and we can run with the pic.

I can support that image.

And there we go. The new pic is up, potholed, and tagged; I don't really think a caption's needed with this one, but feel free to add one if you want. I also struck the line at the bottom since it's now redundant with the pic...the "Mike Hunt" joke can probably be put there if someone wants it there. Locking up.
