It's a little too close to show much. Is there a better angle of it? But it does actually show the trope.
Current is misleading, and should be pulled, with or without replacement.
Also, a small hint about brightening images: Hike up the contrast at the same time, so it doesn't become so foggy.
Here's the original; increased brightness; and increased brightness and contrast for comparison (you can fine-tune it better; this was mostly just as an example):

It looks like someone is scratching his ass.
Check out my fanfiction!Pull the current. to all suggestions because they are too dark and ambiguous.

@4: That is both absolutely the worst possible interpretation ever and the most obvious one ever.
An Ear Worm is like a Rickroll: It is never going to give you up.Honestly, it looks more like an Ass Shove in progress than a scratch.
If we can't pick a new image, can we just get rid of the old one and wrap this thread up?
Clock is set. Maybe we could do something with the two webcomics that have links. Next-to-last panel? First and fourth?
The description says that contact is required for the trope, so I'm not sure the first one is a good example. The second does work, though.

So the trope, as I read it, seems like "pressing something against someone and telling them it's a gun/knife/what-have-you" and this image is a guy holding a banana. That's not to say it's a bad image, since I like it more than the one on This Banana is Armed. But that's a whole 'nother trope.
In any case, I would like to at least propose pulling this image.
Then, as far as proposing a new image - well, the only example I can remember at the moment is that stapler scene in Batman Begins, so I took a snapshot and cropped it◊. I also tried doing a quick brightness/contrast adjustment in case it was too dark and made this one◊.
