Photoshop Fun? Attaturk is many things besides just somebody who can talk about himself in the third-person. A loutish bore; a flagrant petty scofflaw; bearer of several different brands of aftershave; viewer of free-porn sites; lover of Pearson Salted-Nut rolls; regular tooth-brusher & flosser; Greenland foreign policy apologist; moped enthusiast; possessor of the strength of ten Schauzer's, etc. But one thing that Attaturk is not (besides unduly talented and handsome) is photoshop competent, nor does he own a copy of photoshop (because I mean who could actually BUY photoshop just to have fun on Fark.com?). There is one thing that would be nice to try. Our readership is expanding, from about 50 hits a day last week to more than 300 hits a day as of yesterday. That is all still small potatoes, of course, but it does give me a reason to make this modest proposal. I would like to have a contest where the submitters receive the kind of acclaim that can ONLY come from being credited on a small, pathetic webblog. For any submitter I am sure that this award would added to the list of life's accomplishments just above waking up in the morning. Here are the rough terms of the proposal: We are all familiar with those sad, sad, affirmation posters on topics like "Confidence" or "Success" or "Determination" etc. They have pictures of whale tails in the ocean, or mountain vistas, with throw away statements. It is all rather quaint, like this. I'd like a photoshop along these lines with a picture of Bush or Bush/Cheney. The term to be defined is a play on the word "incompetence" but pertaining mostly to Dubya, called "W"incompetence with some trite effective saying underneath like, just for example, "W"incompetence: When Being anointed by God means you can Fuck Up All You'd Like". That sort of thing. Mail your posts to Attaturk2004@gmail.com and I may very well post them as they come in.
