Gulfstream: 14 July 2006

“There’s a certain combo of facial features and surrounding accessories that screams, ‘I would be an amazing host for a call-in radio show about relationship advice’ so loud even deaf people can hear it.”

I really admire the writing in Vice’s DOs and DON’Ts, those pithy captions aren’t as easy to toss off as they look. Even the winner of the caption contest doesn’t quite nail the tone, and the other entries were apparently rubbish. (The New Yorker’s caption contest is similarly disappointing: despite bringing the distributed power of the internet to bear on the cartoon captioning problem, the results are usually only about as good as an average New Yorker cartoon.)
