I see no indication that the current image indicates "aliens". No strange technology, they even speak German. Looks more like Pimped-Out Car. Two (pretty literal) replacement suggestions:

The current is an over-the-top parody of a Dalek. The suggestions are good, but I'm inclined to go with the current.

Aren't Scary Dogmatic Aliens supposed to be thinly veiled?

Have you seen my comic yet?

[up][up] I'd argue it falls into JAFAAC territory, since the Dalek's status as an alien isn't readily apparent unless you're familiar with Doctor Who.

I'll admit my first thought on seeing the current image was that somebody had misplaced an image intended for Stupid Jetpack Hitler, since the Dalek looks exactly like the sort of prototype weapons the Nazis were cooking up in real life:

I'd rather go with 1.2 to avoid overlap with Stupid Jetpack Hitler.

You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"

1.2 works.

Health sure is versatile. It's possible to be both light-headed and dim-witted. At the same time, no less.

1.2., I guess.

1.2

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?

I can live with 1.2. That's enough consensus, so it's up and tagged. Caption?
