This is ready to call. The new pic's up and tagged, and I've built an Image Links page. Caption or no?

I would suggest we caption the image with what Dredd's saying. I think it's appropiate to show how people would live in a Mega City and also because I can't read what he's saying at wiki size.

So "Keep it moving there! Nice and orderly!" then?

I don't know, what Dredd is saying is irrelevant to the trope.

^ Too bad the pic doesn't give the impression of even a fraction of that size.

[up]There's no point in complaining about it now.

I think that caption reinforces the image if it somehow doesn't convey the image of a huge amount of people living there.

Perhaps use part of the opening line of a character from a Judge Dredd story:

  • "800 million people in this city, and not one of them is my friend."

The rest went "I'm lonely! Lonely!" Then he jumped off the top of a building.

I think he got caught before he hit the ground, because the buildings are that tall and the judges have hover-wagons.

[up]Was he put in the Iso-Cubes for life for attempted suicide?

And I like the quote, it fits.

^^ I think I was paraphrasing the quote from somewhere, but that works.

No consensus on a caption; locking up. Discussion can be continued in the caption repair thread.
