Bob Mankoff’s Netanyahu Caption Contest:
This photo, of the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, graphically illustrating the imminence of an Iranian bomb caught my attention for its comic possibilities.
I know that the subject is serious; that is just one reason why the graphic, which he apparently made at Kinkos, is so ridiculous. And if Israeli intelligence thinks that’s what a real bomb looks like, maybe their other projections are off as well. I’m surprised he could get that thing past U.N. security.
Anyway, with the justification that the ridiculous deserves ridicule, I invite you to pile it on, using this photo as the basis for a caption contest.
I’ll start the ball rolling with one of mine own:
”And, what’s worse, if Wile E. Coyote ever gets hold of this, the Roadrunner is toast.”
Now the ball—and the bomb—is in your court.
