# Image Challenge vote
This week's challenge vote is finally here.

Your selection:

* If breakfast could talk

* Two word challenge: Gay Robots

* Make macho hollywood films politically correct. James Bond drinking tea and going on a demo, etc.

* Britain's High St, 2020. With HMV. Comet, Jessops & Blockbuster gone, what will it look like? What will take their place?

Balloty-box:

# I dunno.
Plenty of elements to gay culture that can lead to interesting potential hooks for jokes, as with any other culture based challenge which has run.

Sex jokes usually die a death on a sober audience, and I can't see any genuine homophobia going down well here.

We'll see, I guess.
