I like this option. Keeps a bit of humor for a usually grisly trope.

That's OK for me.

At wiki size, cropped some:

Seeing how it is an Ad, maybe it would be best to keep the ear plugs joke?

It works. No opinion on caption.

Are we allowed to use an ad without getting approval? That is basically a full page, seems like it would be in the same category as using a full comic strip.

Ads are designed to be widely distributed. Like a movie poster. No way someone would have a problem with it being reposted, not in a million years.

Edit: Oh, wait, with the text cropped off? Not sure.

But is cropping out the actual ad part ok? It strikes me that it should be intact.

I was worried that using the entire thing would make some of the details unclear but it looks pretty good so:

I don't see what the ad adds (no pun intended). It's not helping illustrate the trope, and it's too small to read. I say it's better without.

Yeah, I'd crop it out, and maybe use the earplug line as the caption.

Also think the cropped version with a possibly altered caption works better.

I like the crop better. I don't see any harm in repasting the ad and logo into the cropped space, or using the caption to link back to the full ad, or using the caption itself to place the ad.

The text is not readable at wiki size, so I don't see much advantage in using the uncropped version.

Rhymes with "Protracted."

Crop it, use it as a caption.

Y'know, the cropped version does work better. That's enough consensus to go with it, so it's up and tagged. For the caption, the line from the ad works fine, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't prefer mine.

No caption evidently, closing thusly.
