The YKTTW seems to have agreed on a totally different image, namely the page image.

That one is pretty good too.

So did we really need this discussion?

We got Image Links fodder out of it.

I think it's good, but not as good as the one here.

Hmmmm...it's not bad at all, but I do lean toward the Governator pic. Neither pic is addressed on the page as an example.

Unstarring since we are now discussing whether to keep the current or the previously selected image.

MGDMT > Arnold.

Arnold isn't a current politician anymore, and even if nearly everyone knows he was the governor and was in the Terminator movies, there's always that teensy little chance of confusion, especially from people not from the US. MGDMT, however, requires no prior knowledge to understand. It's a big muscly guy giving a speech on a politician-looking podium about how he's a badass. Seems a better illustration to me.

That's Mike Haggar in the page picture, who is listed under the video games section. And I think it communicates the "politician" part a bit better than the Governator.

Too blurry and is that a politician?

[up] Agreed and yes.

See, what always comes to my mind when I read the trope name is Homestar Runner's parody, Litigation Jackson (or its sequel, Legal Rampage).

Manly Guys Doing Manly Things image works, though.

I've reclocked this one. For the time being, I've created an Image Links page with most of the suggestions, including the Governator pic. I'm good to either run a crowner or shut this one down. Thoughts?

The image that's now on the page is good. Unless others are dead set against it, I'd say we can just close this.

Ok, then I'll close.
