Another music trope that depends on knowing the artist to begin with to know how it's an example.

Hmmmm...I get the argument, but MC Hammer was popular enough back in the day that I can see how it works.

So any other thoughts on whether to pull the current or ideas for a replacement?

I don't have an issue with it, to be honest.

I guess it could count as "the caption makes the image make sense".

The issue I have is that the caption is literally the only thing claiming that it's an example. The illustration itself adds exactly nothing and again, depends on one's familiarity with the artist to begin with and who is just gonna become more obscure as time goes on to boot.

If we pull the pic then I think this needs to be a BUPKIS page.

I can go with that.

Consensus seems to be pretty well split on this, so I've hooked a crowner and unclocked the thread.

Way past time to call this one. The pic's gone, the page is tagged, and I'll update the BUPKIS list shortly. Locking up.

EDIT: Hey, another oversized pic gone, cool.

Believe it or not, this, not "U Can't Touch This", was MC Hammer's biggest hit.
