Now we're on to French word play at Caption Competition. Has to be a thumbs up for that alone.

Suzette wasn't lapin up the attention. [David G]
While I can never resist a well-placed pun, I tend to feel in general that a good pun and a good caption are not the same thing. The voting on this website always seems to tell me otherwise. Sometimes a short, sharp pun does present itself as the best possible way of captioning a given photo; but not, in my opinion, quite as often as the voting would suggest. While I like to reward the most pleasing puns with a vote, I am happier voting for captions that explore a photo's potential at greater length, i.e. in a proper sentence. The same goes for my writing of captions.
Here is a submission that stuck in my mind. It could not even be classed as a good pun: it's just cheap, opportunistic wordplay, isn't actually funny and yet somehow it got the most votes. In an ideal world, that would not happen. This is hardly a victory to be proud of.
And what gives me the right to slate this 'caption'? I'm the one who submitted it.
