For being so cruel and unsual you win a 10!

At least the sense of humor survives at DPC. Made me laugh.

so wrong and so awesome! I expect you have just created the next internet hoax picture...the Enquirer will be calling soon. Only one problem...and that would be harder to do without flash powder...not enough smoke ;)

Yikes. This is definitely a little twisted. Nice execution though (pardon the pun...)
The shoes are a little over exposed, but I bet you had to do that to get the smoke to show clearly.

Shame on those careless parents! :P

This is cute, but IMO, not very convincing. A loose cord is just left laying around with conveniently splayed end wires?

Nice job of exposing for the smoke and arranging of the composition (positioning the wall plug, shoes, and wire end).

Good luck in the challenge.

Reminds me of when I stuck my father's keys in the wall socket. I was too young to fit those shoes!
