The source is The Oatmeal's comic on irony. I rearranged the chart so that it would fit at wiki size without downsizing. Sure, it may not be the most "illustrative" image, but the humor more than makes up for that.

So-so. Or Keep Until Better Image Suggested-worthy, as it may be.

It's on the level of, "Sure, why not?"

This or part of it from the same page might be a good alternative if it looks good as wiki size.

I think that's way too much text for too little payback. And I don't think it would look good at wiki-size.

[up]Not too sold on the new suggestion... The last two panels from that strip could make a good image for Cursed with Awesome though.

My reaction: "Eh, it's better than nothing, but is that really the best we can do?"

How about a screenshot from Weird Al's "Word Crimes" video when it addresses this issue? It visually expresses much the same thing with only two words.

ETA: Okay, six words.

[up] That's another one that I was thinking of. I'll support it.

Hmm... Now I wonder how the hell that happened. Every image has "static." Well, it's not the best looking image, but it's better than blank.

Looks better than anything derived from the comic, especially with how wordy the options from it are.

Bump; any other thoughts on 15? I can live with it.

15 is acceptable as well.

A few more votes for 15 and we can roll with it.

Could we crop out the left half and make it bigger?

Rhymes with "Protracted."

If that's done, I think the caption should be the cut off text, quoted.
