Sistine Steal has the same image as Parody Religion. The sole difference is the one in Sistine Steal has the caption as part of the image.

Maybe Sistine Steal could be changed to a picture of the Sistine Chapel for reference?

I vote to keep it on Parody Religion; the spaghetti are an obvious giveaway. No on using the actual Chapel; the trope is about "allusions, parody, and all sorts of tropey tomfoolery.", not the literal chapel.

My vote's to move the version on Sistine Steal to Parody Religion and find something new for that page, that's a common enough theme that finding a good pic shouldn't be hard.

Similar to above but I don't agree with moving anything; the caption being part of the image makes it worse IMO, because that allows the possibility of having two captions.

[up] I think the line that's there is sufficient; I just happen to like the fancy version better than having it separate from the pic.

Here's some suggestions; some will be better for Image Links:

[up] Henson > Cohen (assuming somebody can shop out the line) > Cthulhu > the rest.

Interesting fact I just learned: spell check recognizes "Cthulhu".

[up] As a straight parody, it's the best; I do like the humor in the Twitter, Apple, and Cohen ones, though.

No I mean having a caption as part of the image opens the possibility of someone adding a caption below the image, giving it two captions. Given a choice between versions, I would always choose the version that does not have a caption "baked" into it.

Also the Parody Religion page image used to be similar to the current Sistine Steal page image, but several people thought it would be better with the text cropped off. "[The text] doesn't add anything except resemblance to a Demotivator."

I remember having trouble choosing one when finding an image for Stock Poses. Parodies are so common that it's practicality a meme. This MUST have an Image Links.

[up] I'm pretty sure that this will go to a crowner, and we'll definitely have an Image Links page from the losers.

I must confess a little preference for the Disney Ducks version.

OK for me. It's not like we won't get an Image Links page - I bet that there will be enough pics for that to happen.

I think the crowner will be down to whichever fandom votes the most.

I have to say, the Henson/Kermit one fits the theme of the original painting much more significantly than the Scrooge/Donald one.

This is ready to call. A cropped resize of the winner is up, potholed to Jim Henson, and tagged. The full version of the new pic and the others are on the Image Links page. Caption or no?
