If picture is worth a thousand words...

I think there are exactly three times text on images is acceptable.

The first occasion is to give information about what is going on, who it is, or some other pertinent information about the picture, and you don't have anywhere else to put that. A digital backup of yearbook pictures maybe.

The second occasion is an artist signing his work. Go ahead, I won't stop ya.

The third and final occasion is signatures on forums. They're signature, that denotes having words of some sort attached, and at the very least the name of the person whose sig it is.

All of these anime wallpapers I've seen: fuck your wordy lack of artistic vision. I don't want to see the anime's logo anywhere on the image, unless that's what the wallpaper's main focus is. I downloaded it, I know what anime it's from, or I don't give a damn. I don't want to see the url of any website anywhere in your image, or it's instantly disintegrated.

Well, if a picture is worth 1000 words, then adding words to it makes it > 1000. Duh!

Wait... wha? :wtf:

Now there's an idea, an image macro of 9 different pictures and then one word.
It would be over 9000 words :P

...technically wouldn't that be exactly 9001 words? ;)
But then again, wouldn't that image macro technically be one image? Because if i'd take 6 photos, scan them, put them all into one picture, its still ONE picture?

HAH i've just turned this into a philosophical discussion. I RULE!

I believe that a wall with 9 pictures close together counts as a wall with 9000 words, but I am no linguistics expert: perhaps we'd have to look for a ruling on a triptych's word count.

Picture is "WORTH" a thousand words.
Picture =/= thousand words.

Picture containing text is still a picture.
Therefore, picture containing text is still worth a thousand words, even if there are more than thousand words in the picture.


Anime wallpapers have logos for various reasons, advertising and showing license information would be two of the many. Although I agree wallpapers having URLs is plain stupid.
