Maang. It is impossible to beat that.
How are people going to know to click on the image? Because if they did, they would find a link to the wonderful BBC story: "A Philippines judge who said he consulted imaginary mystic dwarves has failed to convince the Supreme Court to allow him to keep his job."
And then how many of those clickers would then be able to backtrack to the self-reflective (possibly proto-post-modern?) painting La familia de Felipe IV o "Las Meninas" by Diego Velázquez in 1656? Which has the classic family dwarf in it.
It is one of the greatest all time paintings in my mind. It is a royal portrait, a self portrait, a complex cork-screw (helix really) of space.
The painting has a conservative palette, psychedelic space, and a rich narrative for those willing to dig.
It is too bad that many people believe that "dalliance with dwarves would gradually erode the public's acceptance of the judiciary as the guardian of the law, if not make it an object of ridicule."
Shit.
It is actually too bad that people think mystic dwarves are imaginary.
