Bingo Protests & German Fashion: HuffPost's Caption Contest!

Original Caption: Two women wearing Alistair Darling masks on their heads play a game of bingo during a protest in front of the Houses of Parliament against the Government's increase in bingo taxation from 15% to 22% on July 1, 2009 in London, England.

"if we pull down these mask and THEN fill out our expense reports, we can write off the bingo cards"

Come on Huffpost and/or Alex. Put some effort into this great concept or forget it. It's like you just pick the first five comments, clever or not (often not), and then head to the bar. And why shouldn't there be a new one every day? This could be a lot of fun.

Mourners Ruby and Mabel gather on the bench near the Neverland Ranch to await the memorial service for the late Michael Jackson. As a final tribute to the Gloved One, each woman prepares to don a mask bearing his time-lapsed image as an aging white male.

Sisters Mabel and Ruby sat in the park quietly checking off the steps they had completed in their diabolical plan to destroy the white race that they had puchased over the internet off of Overstock.com. So far all was going well: step one-- Attach rubberbands to old white male politician masks (check); step two --put masks on foreheads (check); step three-- infiltrate the highest circles of government and exacerbate avoidable financial crisis by giving trillions of loans and guarantees to financially insolvent banks (check); step four-- play bingo and enjoy afternoon in park while awaiting the utter collapse of oppressive white society (check). Ahhh, nothing like puttin' it to "THE MAN" to make for a great Saturday and all for only $ 7.99!!
