This reminds me of the shell of a red volkswagon on top of a van with the caption: "Not only Heather Mills is taking a Beatle for a ride." Who created that one, anyone remember?
I don't know, but I certainly hope I'm not being accused of cheating because I haven't. This seemed an obvious joke to me and I was suprised no-one else had made a similar one once I got to post mine.
No need for finger-pointing here. It's natural that some caption concepts are going to be repeated over a period of years. In this case, Paul's caption is similar to one we saw from Stuart Chapman back in mid-2008, but Paul wasn't to know that as he signed up last year.
The site needs to deal better with
Detection - automated searching for similar captions at submission time
Attribution - a mechanism for giving a 'nod' to the originator, possibly with vote sharing
Couldn't a caption be really funny for another picture also? old jokes are often repeated by comedians but with a twist. I think if anyone remembers a similar caption, maybe just pointing out which one might have the positive effect of people looking more into older captions. Depending on the twist the last caption might receive more or less votes according to originality..
