Fair use rationale for Image:RatPfink'66.jpg
Image:RatPfink'66.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Film title à boo-boo
The perplexing "Rat Pfink a Boo Boo" title (a play on "Whisky a Go Go", I wondered?) had long festered amid the cobwebs of my mind when, circa the early 1990s, I finally experienced the film on the Silver Screen of Berkeley's UC Theater as part of a marathon of assorted cinematic dross. What I saw, plain as day in a clear but well-worn and presumably original 35 mm print, was "Rat Pfink & Boo Boo". Ahhh, I realized, that explains it—some benighted soul mistook the ampersand for a lower-case "a" and then sent their error off on a long journey unchecked by actual viewings of this justifiably seldom-screened title. However, there is a frame grab available online here which shows an all-caps title very different from what I remember seeing on the big screen, and the ampersand is now a big bold capital "A" in keeping with the common rendering. New titling created for a video release? The long-lost Director's Cut, recently discovered at a Burbank garage sale? An alarming symptom of my own galloping brain-rot? Perhaps some mysteries are truly eternal. AVarchaeologist (talk) 10:05, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
