The "topless" DANCERS is kinda funny, I guess, but most of the rest maybe merit half a " HAH" at best. If I'd had the intended grid, would that have led me to say " WHAT FUN!" while solving this puzzle? Probably not. When I looked up what the grid looked like in the paper / online, I understood what I was supposed to be seeing. I was able to make correct sense of three of the five themers, but couldn't find any phrase to go with ATTENTION and had the wrong idea at ACCUSATIONS (I thought they were "unfounded," which they kind of are, even in the intended grid-being without foundation, i.e. it was also without "without," but I just rolled with it. I actually thought the gag was just "missing parts of phrases," so, uh, yes, the phrase "Doctors Without Borders" was written in the grid, literally, without "borders." Now. Can't comment on this effectively since my grid (as you can see above) looked like a normal grid, so the visual gag was lost on me entirely.
