This image did not get enough consensus in the Image Suggestion thread. Other ideas?

I thought it was better than nothing.

Judging by the title, any image depicting this trope would be very NSFW. So, I vote a hard BUPKIS on this one.

[up] You're thinking too literally; there's at least one example on the page that's perfectly SFW although I'm not sure that it'd make a good pic (a crop of the dialogue in the last section with the characters is what I was thinking).

[up][up]Never judge a trope by its title. Read the description. A lot of misuse of tropes come from only reading the title of the trope and assuming that anything that fits the title fits the trope. Understanding the trope pages we try to improve in this section of the forums is a requirement to actually improve them.

I'm kinda meh about the image. It could work, but it's not something I'd bet on. My vote is probably "if nothing else..."

I'll also go with it in lieu of anything else.

Cropped, edited, and wiki-sized, although I don't have a way to cleanly get rid of the pink background.

^^ Little of the trope is being illustrated.

Agreed, the text is doing the heavy lifting. If the example is about Scots, it should at least depict someone Scottish.

There's not even any kilt-wearing, so no to that.

Bump. Any ideas, or should this simply be closed?

[up] That's in "may as well be a page quote" territory for me...it'd be better if the girl's face wasn't completely neutral.

My vote'd go to the original or the first webcomic.

One shows the trope, the other speaks of it.

Alternatively, there's this (parodical) example from The Onion:

[up] Can't use a whole comic.

[up] Can if we get permission.

[up] It's incredibly unlikely that The Onion would even bother responding to an email asking for permission, much less actually grant said permission.

@ 17: I think it's too cluttered, took me a while to make sense of it on top of the whole-comic issue.

Crowner?

First thing that comes to mind is those awful "sexy Asian vixens in your area" banner ads you see on sketchy anime websites. Maybe there's a parody of those type of ads that'd work?

The clock's up and we don't have consensus on anything; locking up.
