CAN you write an Economist picture caption? The excellent standard of entries in our previous competitions suggests that many of you can. Here's a new chance for you to see your wit in print.
The photograph above will accompany an article in the Business section in this week's issue. It shows Kim Dotcom (pictured, wearing sunglasses), co-founder of file-sharing site Megaupload. Last week police in New Zealand arrested Mr Dotcom at the request of American officials, who also shut down Megaupload, claiming it encouraged users to share copyrighted content (the firm says that the vast majority of its traffic is legitimate). The eccentric businessman, who changed his name from Schmitz, is reported to have enjoyed a lavish lifestyle: with a mansion in New Zealand, a fleet of luxury cars and a slight tendency to show off.
As before, it's up to you to provide the caption: please leave your suggestions in the comments thread below. The captions should be as short and snappy as possible, and ideally no more than about 30 characters long. The best contribution will appear beneath the picture in this week's print edition, which is published on Friday morning. Entries close at midnight London time on Wednesday evening, so you've got a little more than 48 hours. The winner can truthfully claim to have written (at least a few words) for The Economist. Over to you.
Update: The competition is closed, and the winner has been announced.
