No problems with the picture in and of itself, but it's kinda small. Could it be replaced with a bigger version?

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders!

I don't get the image at all beyond the added necklace apparently making him a "pimp". I guess that's the joke, but it's kind of weak.

[up] If there's some other layer to this besides that, I'm not getting it either...I'm tempted to just say cut it.

EDIT: Did some research, and the guy in the pic isn't connected to the concept in any way...definitely not helping the page in any way.

Motion to pull

Fails as a joke, adds nothing to the page.

Replaced with that (shrunk to 350 px tall); don't object to it being pulled anyway, though.

[up][up]Seconded.

It's really tempting to suggest a character from some random work and state in the caption that the work is being Entry Pimped and the character has nothing to do with the page. I doubt it'd work, however (being an extreme case of JAFAAC, though that would be the whole point), and of course someone else would want a different character.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

^ Do you mean like the page image for Just A Face And A Caption? Hm...

What if we had a screenshot of the related to page of a Trope Overdosed work. We can crop the part the says:

[[orange:Namespace/Work]] found in [[orange:x]] articles, excluding discussions

Being a Whovian, might I suggest Doctor Who? There are currently over 9000 wicks. The caption can be something like "Entry Pimps at work".

I know that having a ton of wicks doesn't necessarily equal Entry Pimp but it can. A couple of tropers couldn't have added 9000 wicks by themselves but if that image doesn't communicate the idea, then at the very least pull the current image.


EDIT: Ah ha! I got it! I got it! I think.... Here. A Cracked.com article. Look at the Buffy Board example. Could we use one of those pictures of that crazy poster? Maybe? Hmm, thinking about it now, it's a so-so idea...

[up][up][up] Entry Pimping is not bad, for the record. Crosswicking is something you are supposed to do. tongue

Rhymes with "Protracted."
