Default LMAO!

This is too good. Alas, the kitten parody was lost on me, but it did look cute.

Actualy I could use that shaver....

Wow, I'm really shocked to have won first place...especially with such formidable competition. :?

I'd like to thank the folks at Conduits for offering such great prizes, and for making awesome software. And to the PPC thoughts team for organizing this contest.

And congrats to my competition. Both Jhokur2k and ppcsurfr created very clever parodies, better than mine IMO.

Thanks everyone!

Congrats to all. We have some very creative folks among us here at PPCT. I'm looking forward to the next go around of the contest.

BTW, Jhokur2k, is that Pierce Brosnan in the shaver ad?

Bah. Nice job Foo. You deserve it.

Congrats to the others for making good parodies as well. I especially like the shaver one. I've cut myself 5 times in a row now!
One question though: how did you make that kitten parody so good-looking? I mean, everything matches, the grass, the closeup, it really does look professional. I once tried Photoshop for a day, I didnt want to dedicate a month to learning the program, so I uninstalled. Oh well.

The kitten parody was actually based on another parody that circulated around the web for a long time. The original slogan was...shall we say, a little naughty. :twisted:

I thought I had seen that picture somewhere before!

It should have probably been mentionned that it wasn't original but ah, who cares... Good job to all of you.

All these kitten lovers. I watched a TechTV segment yesterday I think, on an Internet video hoax about methods of stuffing kittens into jars or bottles or something, anyone saw that?

I'm off to look at the www.b3ta.com site someone else had mentioned...

Well, I didn't pick this as my main entry. The thoughts team did. My best work was the Ellen Feiss "switcher" parody, but it didn't get picked.

Oh well.
