The current image (a screenshot from the parental controls video) does not illustrate an adequate radar example. I have found a much better image showing completely innocent level design:

"Level design accidentally looks suggestive" isn't a radar example either.

[up]I believe the italics indicate that "completely innocent level design" was sarcastic, but I'm not convinced it's intentionally phallic. Keep the current.

[up] Looking over the Radar criteria, I agree with you.

But current is JAFAAC, pull it.

[up][up][nja]The current image isn't an example of Getting Crap Past the Radar itself, but an illustration of how parents are expected to react. I believe it was discussed somewhere and people were OK with it.

EDIT: Pulled the image:

The new Radar definition makes this a hard no. Current should probably also go.

BUPKIS, by the way. Assuming the page even survives the inevitable purge to fit with the new definition.

[up][up] I'm not seeing any parents in the picture?

I don't see a note on the page that the image was selected by this forum.

Yeah, has the page even been cleaned yet? Changing the image seems like jumping the gun. The page might not survive the purge.

I took a quick glance and don't think it has. It's probably going to get deleted.

[up][up] The page was reviewed in the cleanup thread, and it seems like there’s very little worth saving. So we might as well just close this, since the page will likely end up being cut.

I'm in favor of removing the image in the meantime, I don't know how long the deletion will take or if it might end up not deleted.

I'd be down for putting OP on AccidentalInnuendo.Video Games, at any rate.

The suggestion is Accidental Innuendo, so move it to AccidentalInnuendo.Video Games. The current works fine as a gag image (I'm pretty sure I said the same thing about the same image in a past thread), so I'd prefer keeping it (and index the page under This Image Is Not an Example if it isn't already).

[up] Don't bother indexing the page - like we said, it's probably going to get cut soon.

If we ever make a Video Game subpage for Demographically Inappropriate Humor maybe the current pic can go there.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

Perhaps the current image on Clueless Aesop can be moved here?

This page is likely to be sent to the cutlist per GCPTR's new definition. So I would hold off.

[up][up] Nah, it's so much better on Clueless Aesop and it's probably not an example of GCPTR as I believe it's actually teaching about WWII in context.

[up]It was indeed teaching about World War II in context, because it came from a series of educational flashcards featuring Mario characters that was released in the '90s.
