I agree we can do better, but the trope is a stock phrase, which means the title is an example of the trope. Therefore the current picture is not a title drop. This isn't like a picture of someone saying "Everythings Better With Princesses" but there isn't a princess in the actual picture.
As for the suggestion, it's really wordy, and is a very roundabout way to say the trope.
I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.Wasn't the conclusion of the last one "don't make another until Madrugada does?"
Infinite Tree: an experimental storySuggestion in the OP works fine for the trope and gets my backing, but people complaining about the amount of text and the possible NSFWG problems.
Well, it's been a week or so...this may get closed too, but I think we can come up with some better options than the magazine cover and possibly avoid the arguments in the last thread.

I like the new suggestion in the OP less than I like the previous one. It's like the magazine, but with more text.
Infinite Tree: an experimental story^^^^ Stock Phrase does not mean it's okay to not use any visual elements in an image to convey an example. Are We There Yet?, Eat the Rich, [Verb] This!, Trust Me, I'm an X, Bigger Than Jesus, Follow That Car, Don't Ask, & more are all Stock Phrases that use actual imagery to convey even just a part of their respective trope. Even pages with nothing more than talking heads and speech bubbles like Time for Plan B make more use of imagery for a Stock Phrase than what's currently on Better than Sex. It's not enough to just be an example; an trope page image still needs to provide a relevant visual.
The best I found through GIS was a lolcat
◊, though I understand those aren't very well accepted anymore.
There was an even better one I found, but it's copyrighted and would cost $12 for us to use on a yearly basis.

I did say not to make a new one. However, I also said That I would make a new on in a couple of days, and I fell through on that.
As long as this one doesn't devolve back into the bickering and sniping that got the old one locked, there's no problem with it.

Or just a generic "this" for the thing on the right, making it an all-purpose chart.
Infinite Tree: an experimental storyThat is a good picture.
BTW, would the current picture work on Nerds Are Virgins?

I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.A little late to this thread but here's some stuff I pulled from a GIS search:
couple of chocolate
◊ cake
◊ being
◊ better
◊
Computer Science is better than sex [1]
◊
Apparently there's also a sauce that's better than sex [2]
◊
Not to mention an entire restaurant
◊
Some
◊ people
◊ really
◊ like
◊ Sushi
◊
And really, Final Fantasy VII better than sex? [3]
I like the chocolate idea, the second is my favorite.
The sushi is perfect for Food Porn, especially the first.

Nominations for replacement images:

Previous thread
didn't work out, so let's try again.
The current image
◊ is just a Title Drop with no visual element helping to demonstrate the trope—essentially, it merely restates the trope title, but in cartoon form. Being on a magazine cover doesn't help show the trope because it's actually quite rare for the trope to appear on a magazine cover—its most common use is in dialogue. Whether or not we decide on a better image, this one has to go because it doesn't show the trope at all.
Here is my suggestion.
◊ A nice, straight example with an over-the-top Milking the Giant Cow pose to emphasize how awesome she thinks it was. Alternately, a two-panel version
◊.
