Why is the PSP image on the first page funny:

Are you really asking?

Yes. I don't get it.

The 'password' option is not commonly found, and may come handy to protect the pictures of Mushmi's Secret Mutter Paneer from prying eyes.

Is that funny? Password protecting an image?

Evidently some pubescent SA reader must have thought so.

Here's everything you need to know about "funny." Long ago I submitted a picture for merging video games with movies. Mine was (wait for it) CITIZEN KANE OF NOD.

The stupid bitch who went psycho on him didn't pick it. Man, fuck that shit.

When they re-did the same article a few years later somebody else did the same concept and it was selected.

Of course, the crazy bitch was long gone and no longer affliated in any way with the site. Does that matter to me? No.

Password protecting the image is stupid, not having any sort of identifiable name for the image makes it obtuse, putting it on a page with a few amusing things makes it the worst choice any man has ever made, ever.

But wait.

I believe the name of the image holds a clue to the humor.

A quick web search reveals that THAT IMAGE is a huge photo of a damaged USS San Francisco, a nuclear submarine which ran aground in Guam on January 8, 2005, perhaps sparking, what, conspiracy theories? Dunno.

I really want to know why you referred to it as the "PSP image". I looked at every page :(

Oh, shit, "Paint Shop Pro". Sorry, oldfolks.
