If you didn't have a chance to enter my mini contest (WOW 400 REPLYS) you will be able to again sometime soon. This got some awesome feedback and I'm sure we all enjoyed it (look for more contests like this in the future, photoshop contests are a hit). I wasn't too impressed, but I think once we get this rolling it will start to get better and better. Thanks to all who participated.

Winner 1: (http://www.absolutepunk.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=11817&stc=1&d=1144281310)::Winner 2: (http://www.absolutepunk.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=11818&stc=1&d=1144281361)::Winner 3: (http://www.absolutepunk.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=11819&stc=1&d=1144281400)

I will be contacting the winners shortly.

The funny thing is that you expect better from the community. What do you honestly think they are going to do. The bubble one was pretty funny, and if you guys didn't want anyone to slander "O Holy Pete", say something before you start the contest. Blatantly looking away from the funniest one just because ap.net has a special relationship with the king of douches makes you guys look bad.

For the record ass monkey....there is no special relationship with me and the guys of fall out boy. i simply thought the entries of them were gay as hell. This was something to have a little fun with and kill some time. I hate little emo kids like you, smile or something.

haha, what? I laughed so hard at that reply. The Pete Wentz ones just weren't funny...I didn't find any of them funny. And I don't know Pete at all. Be original. It's called creativity. That's like being a stand-up comedian and making fun of George Bush.

You honestly do expect creativity from the idiots that put "Snakes On A Plane" over the top in retarded unnecessary publicity. Wow, alright. At least you guys admit you went in to this with legitimate expectations.

I expect people to not think Pete Wentz stuff is funny...you just called those people idiots essentially, yet you're upset the people that went for the obvious choices weren't picked as winners. And I need I remind you of your totally unfunny attempt?

Just wait till you get to a DLD show and walk in to people sitting on fucking pillows like they're in a japanese restaurant. Plus, I didn't spend actual time working on my crappy caption in paint/ps. I just threw it in because... well, why the hell not. if i knew i could just make some stupid joke about my mom catching me scoping some tits, i would have done that. I guess i'm just not creative enough.

Yes, belittling a large portion of the site in attempts to make up for the fact that you happened to choose unfunny submissions. The epitome of what works in the real world.

You guys, everyone, calm down. It's a small contest put on by Greg. If you didn't win...who cares? If you really think that the two minutes you spent thinking and creating a photoshop design was all done in vain because you lost, then you don't deserve to win because you're a complete dickhead.

Be pleased with who won--and act just as Vince and the guy who created the Chris Carrabba one did--and thank those who thought yours was good, even though it probably wasn't.

He was talking specifically to those that berated him for not choosing the "right" pictures. Don't take it personally, as long as you realize that this contest is just that--a contest. He chooses the winners because he's throwing the contest. Now personally, I didn't really think any of them were all that funny, but rather than throw a fit and protest, I say congratulations to those three that won.


So, that said..
COngratulations to those three that won!
