Caption Contest Time!


Frankly, I think nothing can anyone says can come close to the pure WTFery of the picture, but gimme your best shot. Best captioneer gets... uh... something. A vicodin. A unicorn of their very own. A date with Stalin.

I got nothin'.

Or, if you've got no caption, try to Apples to Apples it. Tell me the story of how the several elements of the picture related.



ETA: Oh holy crap there are more naked-Obama-avec-unicorn paintings.

In a MILLION YEARS, would someone have painted a white President and First Lady naked?

(Okay, breathe, stay focused, channel your rage into captioning the Stalin/Obama/Unicorn/House IDEK....)

Sorry if I was unclear or if my comment was outside of the conversation you want to have here. I agree with you: I do think race is a major factor in the way the Obamas are being portrayed in those paintings.

I thought the Justine Lai project was interesting in terms of the assertion that previous Presidents may not been painted due to homeliness, but it's absolutely not a comparable set of works: her project is about humanising authority figures, not...whatever the unicorn pictures are about.

Ah! No worries. I think the naked/unicorn/house/stalin thing has melted my brain.
