Do you mean, "the strike is really starting to bite" as in "look how bored Jensen is" or "look how desperate we are?"

Or both. I could go with both :)

But yeah. I'm just cracking up every time I look at those pictures. Especially the one where he's holding the tennis shoe. "I am smiling. What more do you want from me?" Because if any boy in the world knows how to wow a camera, it's Jensen, and he just can't even be arsed in these photos. I find it... amusing and endearing. Also, that particular position in the Reebok pictures makes me think far too hard about ways to make him less bored.

And yet here we are in fandom, little addicted rats who would keep pushing the "Jensen Ackles photos" button instead of the "food" button till we die. Even lame photos like those. Heh.
