Classic JAFAAC - a picture of a guy's face and a caption that could easily just be the page quote. This seems like a nearly-impossible trope to illustrate with one image.

I’m not exactly sure how to pic this, but I don’t see it in the current. +1 to pull.

This doesn’t even illustrate the trope- it’s closest to Jerkass Has a Point if anything. Pull.

I did a lot of searching for "worst environmentalism / anti-racism / anti-smoking" posters, and it was pretty hit or miss, but anyone else willing to give it a shot might have better results. (I don't recommend doing the search for animal cruelty unless you have a strong stomach, btw sad)

There is one I thought might work from this page. Here's a pair of rats taking rat poison 1. It was problematic for comparing potential drug users to vermin, alienating the target audience.

How about this sexist drunk-driving ad? I believe it's from the UK.

Caption suggestion: I mean, yes, but oh god no.

Alternatively, something pointing out that "sexy" and "taxi" don't completely rhyme.
