 Ok! First...
Yes! That's me in the picture (you guys try to find a model that would do that with no budget!!!) But I had the idea and I thought it would be very funny to do it. I like the expression, it's very ambiguous, it's hard to tell if that's relief or pain (I was going for pain but I'm lousy actor...)
Secundo, how it was done...
I had the product box wired to two chairs and fishing line to hang about 1 feet and a half in front of the camera with the bathroom in the background. The lighting is bad I know... I got to buy more lamps.
The editing consists of desaturation of the background to render it B&W. Brightness & contrast adjustment and voilà!
If I get a low rating, I hope it still makes you laugh and putting myself in that position will have had at least some payoff (everybody says I'm so damn serious all the time!)

This one made me laugh the most. It remains in top contention. Leaving in place holder and will return for final vote. Likely top 5. Bumping higher.

Okay, more toilet humor. I just sorta feel sorry for the guy. The positioning and facial expression make this a little too real to be funny. I feel a bit like I am violating the subject's personal pain.
