Post Challenge: The title was all wrong! It was supposed to say "Maybe I should pop my fake eye in for this...". I was sending it from a dodgy wireless connection in a cafe in the Phillipines, and I just didn't check it properly. It was the wrong photo for the challenge, but it would have done OK somewhere else. Oh, well...disappointing.. :-(

I'm not easily offended, and you do have a great photograph here, but this isn't the right challenge for it. The title only adds to the tasteless nature of this entry. -no vote

this should be in in a news magazine or something! I have words that I want to say, but I will keep them to myself.

an interesting shot, but perhaps not right for this challenge.

Not for this challenge IMO but a very telling photo none the less.

Fantastic subject, well shot and lit and the B&W treatment is superb.

Not really finding this humorous despite the title; sorry. It would certainly be a great shot for a hunger challenge, or poverty.
