The image doesn't show any example of how Peppa Pig (which is what I'm assuming the image is about) got screwed over by Cartoon Network. It's just a picture of their navigation bar with no context whatsoever.

Out of context, it looks like someone attached a random caption to a random image.

Looks more like a general pic. Permission to zap it?

[up] You didn't tag it in this thread?! Either way, I suggest leaving this BUPKIS.

Given that the main Screwed by the Network page is currently imageless, I'm all for leaving this blank for now.

Leave the page blank.

It's pretty difficult to illustrate Screwed by the Network in any form, but why not make this BUPKIS?

What the heck is BUPKIS?

[up] It's an acronym for Blank Until a Pretty Kickass Image Suggestion (playing on the word's actual meaning); it's used for tropes that are inherently hard to capture in an image without someone actually taking the time to create one on their own.

I can support making the trope and its subpages a BUPKIS case, as I think it's going to be hard to illustrate the concept without a lampshade.

This [1] is a Tumblr account that tracks the infamous scheduling of Cartoon Network, so maybe we could crop part of an image [2] to illustrate how shows don't manage to get ratings.

[up]For what it's worth, those CN schedules have also been suggested a couple times for Adored by the Network. Neither made the cut, and imo it's an easier logic jump from "network shows mostly this show" to "network adores it" than to "network screws over these other shows in the process."

The thread was for a duplicate image with the pic that's currently on Too Good to Last. ([down]EDIT: Not suggesting it for this page; just answering queries about the former image[up])
