Misleading: The Chew Toy

Not quite JAFAAC because something is going on, but it just looks like a generic Action Hero in trouble. I know it's Nathan Drake, but he's a poor example anyway. He's the protagonist and the player is working to get him out of trouble.

Wouldn't a bunch of pictures of Kenny's many deaths work a bit better? I think just about everyone recognizes Kenny and South Park, right?

A montage of Kenny deaths would indeed be great. The current picture means nothing to me. I mean, I can tell he's in danger, but that's it.

I bet you this is going to look terrible shrunk, but it would be perfect [1]◊. Other than that... [2]◊, [3]◊, [4], [5] is what I got. It's difficult finding images that aren't Squick and SFG.

I was going to suggest a pic of Waspinator holding his own head or Wiley Coyote's "I don't get paid enough for this" scene, but the first Kenny one is perfect.

I support the Waspinator pic. Also, the trope, according to the BW entry, was named partially in his honor. It would make sense.

"Waspinator is referred to as the "chew-toy of fate" or other such nicknames often amongst fans, and thus this entry is partly in his honor."

Bring a pic of Waspinator then. Otherwise, I'm leaning towards this◊.

The Kenny one, at 430 pixels wide, would only need to be shrunk to about 81.4% of its normal size to fit. Depending on the method of shrinking, I don't think that would necessarily blur the text.

The proof is in the pudding:

Yeah, it's pretty good. Pothole it to the larger version of the image, then link the caption to South Park.

I used to have a shirt that had 9 depictions of Kenny being killed when I was a kid. He's a good example for the page image.

... so, were we going to change it? o.o

I switched out the image. Lock?

Was something wrong with the version I posted? I didn't really look at it to tell.

Too big; it was 430 pixels...always better to resize a pic yourself then have the page do it for you and eat bandwidth in the process, or some other tech-related thingie.

No, the one I added to the page. You can't upload images over 350px. Rodney resized it, and I put it up...and then you replaced it with another?

Oh, gotcha. I put in a bigger version, so the text would be a bit more legible.

EDIT: ...and then rodney replaced it with a smaller version...what difference does 18 pixels make? I put back the one I put up.

Also, should we go with the current caption or something a little more SFW?

EDIT AGAIN: Alright, I see what rodney did, he potholed the caption to the original pic...I'm good with putting this back in, anyone disagree?

The caption is potholed to the larger version, I don't think legibility is important (except for the header). The uploader allows 350 px wide but I've read max 330 and prefer smaller anyway, usually looks better on the page. I just linked the already-uploaded image. Doesn't matter. (Although if it doesn't matter, why did you change it? :)

The one Willbyr keeps putting up is fuzzier and harder to read on the page itself. Rodney's may be smaller, but it's more legible.

Just for comparison's sake. I can read both versions just fine, but if the smaller version is more legible to everyone else then definitely use that one. I'll change the caption back to the pothole.

Both of those are shrunk by the forum so linking them here isn't the best. Rodney's is more legible at page size.
