The old thread got deleted by the mods, so here is a repost. I personally feel a certain impact of the photo was its parody of the original colouring picture, so with this change in title, it just becomes a less interesting photo overall. The original had a target niche of young net-culture savvy people, but now I don't feel it has as direct an appeal. The mods have informed me that foul (or implied) language is not to be tolerated.
It's interesting though, as the situation is quite similar to that of the classic Japanese theatre "University of Laughter", where a scriptwriter tries to get his script past a censor during wartime Japan, but the latter chucks it out multiple times, only to have the writer return each time with a better version. The show suggests that censorship, or adversity, can help to stimulate creativity.
Unfortunately, I'm not skillful enough to figure out a way of changing the original title to a better one so have to settle for another word to replace the offending one.
I apologise for all those who have taken time and effort to comment, particularly (from memory, since the thread is gone) pyreel, foxtwo, munkey etc.
For those who did not see the original writeup, the picture aims to provide comic relief by providing a disjunction in setting and emotion. A science lab is normally a place which is dull and unfun, but this picture shows a girl enjoying her work and in the words of McDonald's, "I'm lovin' it!" It originally was a parody of the famous colouring picture, where a young boy is doing some mad colouring, making the mundane seem hilarious.
The zoom blur is intended to add a sense of vocal projection, like manga-style's converging lines.
C and C as usual, mods don't tase me bro!
