Phil, I had a discussion with people on a forum today: are captions required or not. Some people opposed to them because they would limit the imagination of the viewer, or even direct his thoughts to a certain direction.
I disagreed and gave "ceci n'est pas une pipe" of Magritte as an example.
And then I came across this picture. I posted the URL in that forum. This would not be the same picture without the caption. Wonderfully done.

Brave image. It has a sort of surreal quality about it that borders on the black comedy with the ironic title.
