Eunuch Beauty Pageant

I was going to post this photo for the caption contest, but I’m afraid the existing caption would have been hard to top. And, while I’m all for preventing AIDS, there’s got to be a better way.

It occurs to me that the picture and its caption will likely disappear at some point.
