We’ve Been Challenged
November 30th, 2006 at 9:52 pm by CrankyThere was some debate here at the Buffet whether we should rise to the bait put out by Sadly No.
1) Dan Riehl
2) Six-Meat Buffet
3) Does anyone else on the right even do Photoshop?
4) Yeah, you. We challenge you, chunderbot. Here’s a bullet. Aroo! Aroo!
Strangely enough, we never actually received an email with this challenge.
Truth is, we’re not participating in this year’s Weblog Awards, hence we have no real motivation to descend to the gutter. Besides, there were too many cheesewipes wandering in from Jesus General (no link) last year. It just wasn’t worth it.
However, the challenge was out there. Smantix and I put down our cognac snifters and Cohibas and collectively decided to engage in this Photoshop competition. Also, Letterman was a re-run.
For our worthy opponents at Sadly, No we offer Silent Scope – that fun sniper video game which inspired Deb Frisch to go after Jeff Goldstein’s kid.
The arcade version of Silent Scope is enjoying a resurgence in popularity ever since Anderson Cooper used it to take potshots at our troops in Iraq.
Out of quarters? Don’t despair! You can relive the 60s and snipe at our troops from your parent’s basements with the PS2 home edition. Comes with a cheat guide too!!

I’d say, sadly, no to Sadly No.
Scrolled down the whole homepage and it was a mish-mash of half-baked judgements and unbaked PS skills.

Huzzah!

I said SPIN not TOSSED!
Welcome to toast, population yous!

I didn’t think the left knew how to photoshop. Seeing how poorly they blackface with it gave creedence to that belief.
So, what’s the topic? I love a good photoshop duel.

Considering the time and tone of that post, Drinko Drunko may want to stop ripping pages out of Deb’s playbook and getting liquored up to talk smack on teh interwebs.

This one isn’t very photoshopped. It’s also not safe for work. And not enjoyable to look at anywhere. Still, probably more believable than that Star Trek image over on his site is.

The bottom of this post has a pretty decent idea: blind submission.
Last topic I saw was making a “Day by Day” strip into something that was actually funny.

Whatever. You laughed at mine, admit it.

I’m confused — why exactly is Charlie Rangel sniping at our troops?
Is he supposed to be a self-hating veteran? Or is there a Korean War Vets for Truth group out there insisting his Bronze Star wasn’t really earned?

Never let a good photoshop bout get in the way of comic whoredom.
Enjoy!

I need guidance from our IPP overlords! Are we allowed to impune the name of ’sadly no’? Is the goal hilarity, or believability? Can we use photos of the sadly no crew having sex with dead animals, or is that going too far?
December 1st, 2006 at 5:56 pm
And might I say TehHorror, do you have any footage of the woman in that comic getting out of a car? *nudge* *wink*

#4 …the left doesn’t know how to photoshop? Sorry, I have to wipe away the tears of laughter. Yeah, right, Photoshop was created in a spinoff of that famous John Bircher George Lucas’ Industrial Light & Magic by John Knoll and friends, primarily as a tool for 3D texture creation and 2D compositing and, according to you, encouraging a flat tax. You know, we’re talking about Marin County here for one thing, and creative people on the other–neither of which is remotely a right-wing strength. The silly delusionals on the right can claim, as I’ve heard claimed, that the left has ugly women (apparently a claim made by someone who’s never seen Cameron Diaz, Scarlett Johannson, Monica Belluci or any of the other 100 most beautiful women in the world), but dammit, you’re not gonna claim photoshop. Get back to me when you’ve converted Alex Lindsay, and if you don’t know who he is, put down your Intuos stylus right now and get back into paintshop pro.

Monica Belluci? I beg you, say it ain’t so…

This is the LAST time I rise to one of your challenges. I’m fighting a losing battle at the
I can’t continue. Are we a team, or not? So far, not!
Whatever, but a sad whatever… is the IPP dead?
December 2nd, 2006 at 10:57 am
Oops, I must have broken an html tag in the previous comment. What I meant to say was that I won (handily. SINGLE handily *glare*) the photoshop battle only using old images, but need some assistance with the war of words. These people are the special kind of stupid that comes with believing everyone who supports fighting tyrrany has to enlist to do so.
Come on, insufferable pricks, insufferate!
December 2nd, 2006 at 11:48 am
I dunno Kevin, I just came from reading the 200+ comments. Tho there are a some intelligent commenters there, I just don’t want to wade in.
Kudos to you for having the cajones.
December 2nd, 2006 at 12:58 pm
But cranky, insufferable pricks know full well how to insult even reasonable people! It’s a core value of the movement. Or at least I thought it was
December 3rd, 2006 at 12:08 pm
Kevin, you are absolutely correct. At least it’s one of MY core values.
But I think what Cranky might mean is sometimes it’s just not worth the effort.
But you did fine. Consider yourself a big prick.
December 3rd, 2006 at 12:34 pm
We’ll post our response on Monday.
Kevin is helping us with the hard parts, like that tricky bent-corner effect that he uses to such deadly avail.
December 3rd, 2006 at 3:41 pm
Heh, I started it up again in the wild hope that we can get those crazy liberals a 1k comment post.
It will be hard, since it is probably very far down on their main page. But I’m very irritating. I’m IPP baby! IPP may just make the difference.
December 3rd, 2006 at 3:55 pm
I should mention that I use all ‘effects’ to deadly avail. Sadly, *slap*!
Can you bump the contest, Sad people? It turns out you have to make a photo of flying imams to participate. This was unknown to me, and I only had 6 hours to create this.
No compliments necessary. I’m that good.
December 3rd, 2006 at 6:47 pm
Kevin, sublime yet stupid. Self-mocking yet sincere. It’s a masterpiece! Post-modern, deconstructionalist — it’s a flying imam! Immam. Imam. When you Sadly die in jihad against the idiots, No, you won’t get 72 virgins. You’ll get 72 unregistered copies of PS.
/great stuff and a great response to a stupid virtual playground challenge
