What’s going on in this picture?
How about this one?
What context could there possibly be that would make sense out of this photo?
Our Humorousness column this month is about a website called ExplainThisImage.com. From just these three pictures you probably understand the concept already… it’s a site full of bizarre photographs. The twist is that each photo has a place for you to enter your own caption for the picture. Two cautions- First, although the vast majority of the pix are family-friendly, there are a few risqué images you might want to watch out for. Second, and more important, there are thousands of pictures and you can lose many hours compulsively flipping through them. We know because we lost a lot of time ourselves picking out the small sample of pictures below for your enjoyment.
Our in-depth reporting on this issue inspired us to create a contest for our clients this month. We’ve picked one image, and we want your best caption for it. The best entry (in our editorial opinion) gets $50. Check out this month’s Shop Talk column for more details, and good luck!
