Bank Security Cameras Bad Quality Meme

This is a two-panel comparison meme featuring Walter White from Breaking Bad that jokes about the common complaint that bank security cameras almost always have terrible low-resolution image quality despite being right on location. The top panel pairs a perfectly clear, high-quality shot of Walter White with text that reads 'A picture of a planet 5 billion kilometers away', pointing out that modern astronomy can capture clear images of extremely distant objects in space. The bottom panel pairs a heavily blurred, unidentifiable low-quality close-up of Walter White with text reading 'Bank security cameras', highlighting the ironic absurdity that cameras located feet away from subjects are often far lower quality than images of planets billions of kilometers away.
