As is explained on the discussion page, this image is not actually an example, as there was never any context given. Also, because the image is crowded and a bit small, it's hard to see what is going on.

Some potentially good images were linked to in the aforementioned discussion; be sure to check them out.

Let's move the wrangling from the discussion page to this thread.

Most of the suggestions I saw in the discussion page were page quotes masquerading as images. We want a seemingly-nonsensical image, not a seemingly-nonsensical line.

the last panel of this, maybe this or any other clip from that music video, a still of Dianna Agron in Just Another Girl or The Killers Spaceman, and I seem to recall a Warm Bodies interview in which Teresa Palmer was asked if she liked the interviewer's boobs, and Nicholas Hoult had to interrupt the discussion to give it some context (apparently it's a thing in the film, of course the interviewer had seen the film but it the clip was released before the film premiered), so maybe a still of him interrupting or the question being asked?

or this, part of this, or maybe a shot from Ted?

1, 2, 3, 4, 5.


These are the ones from the discussion thread.

[up]the ONLY one? But a pic from Ted, not that one but maybe the one where Mila Kunis walks in on the boys in bed together is needing of context (there was a storm! Oh, well okay)

I'll have a look when I have time, but that one you picked is good anyway.

[up][up][up] The music video for "Spaceman" didn't really make any sense, and "Just Another Girl" was also pretty weird, so I don't think either of those would really work.

What's the context for the "I want your aids" one?

[up] it's from an item thread, the guy was offering buoyancy aids and fun is had as with internet threads. This post was at the top of one of the pages, so isolated.
