The first thing I thought was “Indeed.” Then I re-read the OP and see I’m supposed to be responding to the caption in the picture. My next thought was “Gay.” ---

Craig has the opportunity but just isn’t cool enough for two popped collars. ---

Okay, I don’t know “Craig.” This is an ad that appeared in Seventeen magazine many years ago. I was twelve or thirteen, and even back then, I thought his expression was unnecessarily intense. Seeing it again, I thought of several possible responses. “Meet Craig. Craig will kill you and eat you while you sleep.” “Meet Craig. Craig is a homosexual.” “Meet Craig. Craig wants to break the world record for receiving the most postcards.” So the responses like **Tao’s Revenge** , **twicks** and **Isamu** are what I was looking for. Friend I sent it to said “What if I don’t want to [meet Craig]? Do I have to get a restraining order?” She also said that if he smiled, it would be more like “We-hell, Craig, how YOU doin’? ;)” ---

“Meet Craig” 'He is a child molester, your childs new teacher and your new next door neighbor. Why don’t you invite him over for cookies?" ---

He’s got three dead hookers in his closet. ---

Add me to the “huh?” crowd. I was confused as to which caption you were asking about; whether it was the MEET CRAIG or the other one. I think it also would elicit a different response if I were reading the actual magazine (photo would be bigger for one thing). ---

I like the Cliff Notes to the side of the picture. Shows that Craig attracts the truly intellectual types, those to whom learning is a pure joy and something not to be shortchanged. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/your-response-to-this-picture-and-caption/541902.md?page=1)
