Brown prepares to fly to Glasgow East?
David Cameron complains of noisy helicopter on bike ride to work?
These are both excellent

This is poor!
Getting back to thread. Although I've never seen him, I imagine Aaron is quite poorly dressed.
Quote: Griff @ July 22 2008, 11:17 AM BSTSee Aaron, it's not as easy as it looks. Sooty's gag works because nobody is going to make the mental jump from "noisy helicopter" to "Gordon Brown with a machine gun" until they see the picture, at which point they laugh. Your caption "an offer they can't refuse" already conjures up images of gangsters and coercion, thus telegraphing the picture gag before it is displayed.
So The Treason Show display the image AFTER reading out the caption/tag line? :/

Matt wins, thread closed.
Quote: Griff @ July 22 2008, 11:23 AM BSTAh yes good point you are forgiven. Sorry for being snooty.
Yes they usually read out the audio caption and then display the pic.
Ah I seeeeee. Well, evidently it wouldn't be a Treason Show submission in that case! Not that I was suggesting it would be in the first place of course, but wouldn't quite work to the same effect in that case, you're right.
Has anybody mentioned the dictator in the Star Wars films? Darth Vader's boss. All that power and he wore a tatty black robe.
Maybe he thought it made him look 'urban'?

I hate the phrase "urban", and the implication that it's cool. 
It's not.
What about "rural?"

The kids think it is.

Do you mean "farmer", or "country gent"?
Quote: chipolata @ July 22 2008, 1:55 PM BSTI hate the kids.
As do I. Especially the black ones.
Jews can be pretty pesky too.

Insult the kids and the blacks if you must, but you stepped over the line at Jews and lots of people on here will find it hard to forgive.

You forgot the Welsh Aaron. You know how you love them, the bastards.

I'm guessing the W stands for Weinstein, then? Oy yoi-yoi.
Who's the worst dressed dictator? Marc P the moderator on the critiques forum.
Only kidding, he probably dresses ok.
