Dare I hope that the average voter understands this?
Dare I?!?!!
Anyway, to explain.. there are 3 main types of rock. Igneous, Metamorphic, and Sedimentary. Each of these words is close enough to another word (or phrase) that it can retain meaning, if you know the other word well enough.. Written properly, the note would read:
Dear cruel, ignorant(igneous) world, my love, she met a Morphic(self-explanatory)... For I was too sedentary(sedimentary).
You see?

The meaning of the note is an extremely cute word play on geological (rock) terminology. They're all descriptors for various type of rock formations.
Who the heck gave this a "1"...who ever you are...you're a !@#$%tard.
There is absolutely no reason to give this a "1". The fact that it had ALL three potential criteria (rock, paper, scissors) is justification for at least a 2. It's a reasonably clear photo. Slightly dark (but that's more dependent on monitor).
Thank you for the comments everyone! 24 is a great number to get for a 5.767 score. I'm glad I could make people laugh with this, as I had a great time setting it up and coming up with the pun-like suicide note.
A couple of thoughts:
I wish I had the time or the tools to have drilled slots in the rocks for the scissors to fit in.. I would have been able to get a more "realistic" look.
Yes, I went over-board on the placement of the scissors, but I meant for this photo to be satirical, not life-like.. although, as I said above, a touch more "realism" might have helped.
I explained the meaning of the note in my comments section, feel free to read that.
Yes, this isn't very technically inspiring, but I didn't think it had to be. The humor was all-important here, and if you didn't get it, that's ok.. I don't fault you for that.
This is one of my personal favorite challenge entries.
Once again, thank you to everyone.
Gotta love this one for how it's truly witty and sly. Technically it seems rather humdrum, but I admire the heck out of the concept and I am ranking it right up top.
Love the humor in this shot. I think this succeeds in where many failed in that while others have placed elements of all three (which I don't feel was necessary) items, yours actually has a coherent and effective composition. Well done, this is my top pick for this challenge. 10
