So, I clicked through to the page whence the image was sourced – SNEAK PEEK: "The Governator": Schwarzenegger Fights The 'G.I.R.L.I.E. Men' – and, erm, well:
I’m surprised I hadn’t heard about that. I suppose I oughtn’t to be surprised by strange ideas – especially in comic books – but yeah, that’s definitely one!

And if you can blind that test, then you have likely found the appropriate hardware solution: a padded box
