It relies almost entirely on the text. We should ideally strive for more visually indicative examples, such as, let's say, a pimp. note

Eh, the suggestion isn't indicative either, at least to me.

I forget the reasoning behind the current, and the suggestion isn't at all radar-ish. The current is also visibly grainy, and the suggestion is even worse quality.

[up] The nature of his profession kind of clashes with the PG-rated nature of the show.

As for quality, one can always find a quality-swap if someone has a higher-quality version of the scene and/or episode. (Homer's flashback about New York, from The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson.)

I didn't think he was a pimp at all, though, thought he was some dude in a weird outfit running down the street.

I don't really like the current either, I had to go to the examples section to understand it.

What about this? (The text may need to be larger)

Another idea would be to enlarge the original image to provide more emphasis to the text and have this caption: "Formerly Chuck's"... imagine what the rhyme would be..."

[up][up] All those examples rely on text, albeit the last one more so the text on the sweater than in the caption. I'd say Show, Don't Tell.

Actually more a Visual Innuendo, this is my suggestion

Here is another version of the current image with more emphasis on the sign.

I wonder what would've rhymed with Chuck's...

[up][up] Now see, that one actually visually demonstrates this.

[up] Pixelated, and still doesn't fit the Show, Don't Tell approach.

the only problem is the watermak on the right, is possible clear it?

If anyone recalls how many minutes into the episode it is, it shouldn't be much trouble to find a version without the watermark.

Or if anyone with 22 minutes to spare and the inclination to rewatch that episode, they can find out how many minutes in it is.
