 I can't even explain how stupid this image is. But it makes me laugh. HA!

(composite of 6 photos with my limited photoshop skills)

Well based on the low score I assume that many people don't get what i was trying to go for in this image - not even some of my friends understand it and they know i'm a bit wacky...

the title should have been "Not THAT Guy, Stupid!" as i was trying to convey a real emergency in the background and in the foreground some dumby who is trying to save the wrong guy. anyway...

as i had to shoot this after work (at my restaurant yes) i couldn't get everybody to make the correct face at the right time so i shot everyone singly and put it together after in photoshop - it was difficult as the restaurant lighting is crazy and shadows were everywhere. you may notice the girl on the right (chiara) is both sitting at the table and slapping her head - we were missing a character! :)

Thanks for the comments and votes!

I would have voted this higher if the title would have explained better. Now that I know what you are going for it is perfect. Great job.

Do you have access to a restaurant or did you just shot this and have everyone wonder what the hell you were doing?

Everyone in this seems to be good actors except for the guy in white who seems to think this not an emergency at all. Detracts from the whole scene.

Enjoy the humor of this. A little over dark I think - could have used a little more contrast instead the gray overtone. Still, pretty clever and funny. Love the guy in the background and the light hitting the model's hand at the rear table - nice touch.
