Just a Face and a Caption: Yet Another Baby Panda

Okay, this trope's pic is a wee bit literalist. It's about how news media try to boost ratings with proven "good news items" like baby animals being born in zoos or cats being saved from trees—effectively the opposite approach of If It Bleeds, It Leads (horrible news is good for ratings). It just shows a baby panda without even an ironic caption to tie it more effectively to the trope. Not sure if it's bad enough to pull, but certainly we can find something better? I couldn't come up with anything.

The current could be supplemented with a caption, but a more valid pic would help...but I've got nothing.

Jon Stewart bringing a puppy into the studio after 9/11?◊

Not a bad suggestion, I think.

^ Good example, but the motion blur makes the shot unusable.

Here are some alternate◊ shots◊.

Also, here's Stephen Colbert doing something similar◊.

6.3 > 6.1 > 6.2. Might also need a caption, though.

6.3 is pretty good.

It's okay.

I suppose 6.3 could work.

I like the Colbert image the best. It's a lot brighter and easier to see than the other suggestions.

6.3 works.

How about Twiggy?◊

6.3.

As good as 6.3 is, I gotta admit that is pretty good, too.

^^^ Ok, that made me laugh. I actually prefer that one now.

Yeah, Twiggy's cute.

Crowner?

Sure.

Well, it's only been 2 days, but looks like a no contest vote.

Yep, this one's open and shut; calling.

Crop?

Looks good to me.

Sure.
