Note from Lawrence Stroll to his secretary: Please tell Liberty Media that the white paint used on the red and white contoured curbs of the Canadian Grand Prix race track is slightly less white than the exclusive and patented white colouring used on Lance Stroll’s Michael Kors Exclusive sports shoes, so the distinctive styling of the shoes fails to stand out. Can you ask them to repaint the white parts of the track slightly darker so Lance’s shoes stand out more distinctly?

I mean…you are not likely to get much variety in the spirit of the proposed captions in this case, Keith. Your bait is fat and juicy, and based on the comments so far, no fish in the water seems likely to resist the temptation.
