Visitors to the United States from Europe, Australia and New Zealand may be familiar with a certain piece of green paper that is required to be filled out before arriving at their destination... and, like Super Collie, probably wonderwho in their right mind are going to answer 'Yes' to certain immigration questions.
Especially if the language used is somewhat... unusual!
This started as another Photoshop -> GIMP photomanipulation exercise, creating the torn form images and applying highlighting. Super Collie kind of came in as an afterthought, but I think the punchline works better with her in the picture.
No actual USINS/DHS I-94W was harmed in the production of this picture, so hopefully I won't get a one-way trip to Guantanamo :/

Hey, I was thinking the same thing myself. I had to apply for a National Security Clearance (applied to be an Air Traffic Controller) and had to fill out this ugly beast:
http://www.usmarshals.gov/careers/sf86.pdf
(oddly enough, remembering living addresses and jobs 10 years back wasn't as hard as I thought... getting references to back up all your living addresses and jobs for 10 years... harder...)
If you don't want to read the whole form, skip down to my two personal favorite questions, 30a and 30b. What in the world happens if you check "yes" to either of those questions?
A former co-worker of mine had the best answer so far:
1. The government says "Thank you for your honesty".
2. Your application goes right into the trash.
3. Black Suburbans show up at your house at 02:00 on a random morning and you're never heard from again.

They'd be hard-pressed to have a go at me for ripping up the form anyway, as
a) I don't live in the USA and am not American,
b) the form was digital (amazing what you can do with GIMP!), and
c) if tearing up an I-94W was a crime, half the people entering the US on it would be in jail! Seriously, the one thing that is hammered into you on the plane is that if you make even a SINGLE mistake on the form, get another one and fill it out again from scratch!

LiteralLOLs! I never would have guessed that the form was GIMPd. Here it is in 2007, and they are still asking whether one has been prosecuted for Nazi war crimes... And, of course, all right thinking drug addicts, espionage agents, and saboteurs will feel duty bound to confess. Government has become a cancer that is devouring us. But Super Collie improves our lives with her beauty and spirit!
