Thanks Will, I'm gonna have to think about this new picture for a while.

World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz, bridges the cultural divide with the tried and true methods of yore. "Come on, now, somebody pull my finger."

Laurence. Friggin'. Simon.

I'm going under one weeks worth of protest because of this.

IS THERE NO SANCTUARY SAFE FROM HIS QUOTATIONAL GRAPPLING HOOKS OF DOOM?!?!?

Considering the success the US had with Jerry Lewis and the French, no one was suprised that Paul Michael Glaser, or "Starsky", would be such a big hit in the Chinese chalk drawing circles.

Thanks for the nod Will.

I agree Rodney. I'm going to have to dig out my "Book of Obscure References" to help me tackle this one.

I agree with Rodney and Buckley. But if I go off and do research, I'll get distracted and never return until the contest is over. So here's my caption...

Disallowed by the Chinese government from using such contemporary Western terminology as "Democracy", "The Internet", and "World Trade Organization," Paul Wolfowitz skillfully crafts a tale of the establishment of democracy in Iraq couched in Monty Python aphorisms, obscure Star Trek references, and prehistoric petroglyphs.

With Michael Jackson in hiding somewhere in Bahrain, Paul Wolfowitz is forced to perform Thriller in front of the restless Neverland crowd.

"Hey, I'm usually considered pretty smart, but the writing on the wall might as well be Chinese."

In an effort to emulate actor/singer David Hasslehof's wild popularity in Europe, aging rocker Davey Jones takes his new Chinese daily variety show "Super-Terrific Monkee Hour" on the road.

"... and your name is Wang, too? Wow, I've never seen so many Wangs since Ted Kennedy invited me to that weekend of male bonding at Hyannis Port."

"Now remember kids... if you want to grow up to be rich and successful like Uncle Paul here, the first thing you're going to need to do is stop making those damn silly stick figures and start using good ol' fashioned American letters."

Wolfowitz to Doc Ock (out of shot): 'You want to get to her, you gotta go through me!' before realising that this isn't New York, and she ain't Spiderman.

"Dang it, I ain't a Klingon, so stop calling me Worfowitz."
