I was imagining we might start with this pic, then me and other people could add further 'silly pix' later.
Maybe you have such a contribution?

No, it's about the denigration of an individual that doesn't meet the current standards for beauty. Had that been a lithe, blonde body on the same underwater device, you would have had a completely different take.JR8 wrote:It's not about the person, it's about the situation.Strong Eagle wrote:I'd suggest this is a rather thoughtless thread, designed to make fun of someone.

As it is, you want someone to "caption" this photo... and for what purpose? You've already seen two less than complimentary responses.
Time to wake up, JR8. What was your expectation with this post?

Whoa - hold on a second. My comment had nothing whatsoever to do with the physique of the person in the photo, but was based on the stereotypical image of some Singaporeans being willing to do anything in exchange for a free curry puff, plastic toy, ice cream, etc.Strong Eagle wrote:As it is, you want someone to "caption" this photo... and for what purpose?

If light-heated humour based on nationalistic 'traits' is now out of order, are we going to ban all those thousands of Englishman, Irishman and Scotsman jokes too?
On the other hand, personally I found Raj's comment about 'blubber' to be unfunny and in bad taste though.
Be careful what you wish for
Well, considering India's performance at Old Trafford today (8 for 4 after 6 overs, now 152 all out as I'm typing this), I'd suggest the following caption:rajagainstthemachine wrote:lets even it out a bit shall we?
