Photoshop Contest: A Winner

We have a winner in the Photoshop contest. It was close ... one vote decided the winner. The final tally:

pollcontest.jpg

Yes, the winner is Mr. X, closely followed by Rollo Tomassi with "Fingers Gun Hussein." When we finally get some TCP swag, we'll send you both something to supplement your current glory.

Great job, everyone. We hope you had as much fun as we did. We'll start on the caption contest results next.

Photoshop Contest: The Polls Are Open!

Through a highly unscientific method of "What are your favorites?" followed by the even more unscientific art of compromise, Michele and I have narrowed the Photoshop entries to a field of 10. I've posted them below. To select the winner we'll be using a tried and true method--popular vote--and I've created a new poll over in the right-hand column of the Publisher's Desk for that purpose. One vote per person; we'll keep the polls open all weekend and announce a winner first thing Tuesday morning.

Again, thanks to all who contributed ... we hope it was as much fun for you as it was for us. Now, our final 10:

Photoshop Entry #22: F9/112

Shoulda' seen this coming ... and I have to say, the whole "Photoshop Saddam into movie posters" meme is interesting ... may have to make it a sub-category. This entry comes via Michele ... I'm unsure about the identity of the artist.

And for those not used to cursing on these pages: all apologies.

This is from reader VoR, who writes "I know this is a lot of picture for a little absurdity, but the touch of Americana seemed appropriate for the upcoming holiday." Indeed. (Click to get the full effect.)

This photoshop contest entry comes from the one and only Mr. X (and politics aside, I have to say, this borders on brilliance). It's an animated .gif, so give it a second if the snaps don't immediately start rolling.
