You Write The Caption
Get ready for some comedy.
It's the latest installment of You Write the Caption and while some previous installments relied on the impressive comedic stylings of the SBI Mafia today I have chosen a picture that doesn't need much help being funny. That said, I was curious to see what you all could come up with to accompany this truly hilarious photo.
Here it is, a welcome press conference gone wild (share your caption ideas in the comments section):

My agent said this deal was worth millions, but he also said I would get a saddle...

Zebra on a rampage as everyone shows up in blue stripes, including the @sshole riding one of his friends, instead of the agreed upon green stripes.

"Better get used to riding that zebra Aiton, the Germans love all that freaky kind of stuff." Have you ever watched late night televison in Germany? My favorite is super sexy sport where women "provactivly" work out. And remeber I was not seeking out this kind of programming, I was looking for soccer highlights. I swear!

So Bob Baffert finally decided to expand his racing empire by hiring two running jack@sses on one day - one for scoring big wins and the other for show.
Second try:
And they said that Miro Klose earned his stripes by playing for so many teams in the Bundesliga...but it looks like Ailton has earned more.
Last try:
My agent said that the striped pants make me look too much like a jack@ss.

Now I know... If a nice German Fräulein asks if you are ready to 'ride the zebra', I don't care how hot she is, the answer is NO!

Haha @ Neumannator!

My agent told me that with this contract, I'd be able to get all kinds of Argentinian a$$. I hope this is not what he was talking about.

This is what happens when Willy Wonka buys a professional soccer team.

And in our latest genetic experiment we are going to mate a Blue Zebra with a soccer player. We want a long legged Smurf.

Duisburg, having announced the signing of Ailton to pair with striker Winnie the Pooh, has also announced the singing of three colored zebras from their La Petit Academy.

"At a press conference today Duisburg jointly announced both their newest signing, Ailton, and their new sponsor, LSD."

I'm not saying he's an ugly man, but it's obvious which role he's playing in this dog and pony show!

"You guys said the Zebra's stripes would be blue, not periwinkle--I feel ridiculous in this shirt!"
Posted by: Dannyc58 | July 16, 2007 at 12:58 PM
or
"These horizontal stripes are SO NOT thinning..."

"Look, A jacka$$ riding a Zebra!"

In an unusual move, Ailton rides Ruud van Nistleroy to his introductory press conference at Duisburg.

Hey look it's "Donkey"-jote.
Posted by: JoeG | July 16, 2007 at 01:12 PM
Duisburg chairman: "Now that we convinced him to sit on that ridiculous blue zebra, getting him behind the beer concessions counter in a barmaid's outfit will be a piece of cake!"

Ailton relaxes at a local children's park before reporting to prison.

Man, this is soooo embarassing ... no first-team player should have to wear the number 34.
