Thanks for the article. Your puns in the image captions, much like the entire situation, sucked.
You’re welcome, For real tho.
Hard to know what to say, but here was my thought: Tacky-yet-memorable captions might help readers recall the pieces better. I realize this situation is not entertaining for those who experienced it, but I wish you wouldn’t pick on a hasty editorial flourish when we’re trying to help you out.
My kid could do better than that overpriced ‘art’ Doubt the thieves will get the kinda cash doled-out by the suckers that bought this junk. Get a real job.
I like your puns. For Real, I do.
I didn’t love my wordplay on this one, but my thought was, “better than nothing,” and “gotta save those paintings!” I suppose when the cops responded to the initial call, For Real made fun of their sunglasses.
“For real” probably coveted the cop’s aviators and big cop ’stache, but was confused by the apparent lack of irony.
