self nom, for. because VFP entries are slacking lately, and zombiebaron needs something to snack on. SirGerrycheeversGunTalk 23:23, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Against; while I do, truly, appreciate the sentiment of this nomination (and not just the part of the nomination that mentions me), I am voting against this image. Mainly because that rocket-smoke-trail-thing looks way out of place (try blurring the edges and adding noise, for a start). Plus, it didn't make me laugh. Perhaps if Tim Horton and the 1967 Stanley Cup Finals were referenced. -- TheZombiebaron 23:50, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
Against Took me forever to realize exactly what was going on, even after reading the caption. But Zombiebaron's suggestion could probably be taken into account to make it better. -RAHB 08:13, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
Self Nom + For Noticing that there was only one other image on VFP, and that the image was crappy, I decided to nom one of my own. Not for attention, but I think this is a good picture. Vote against if want. And talk as much smack as you want about me. I'll learn from it all. ~Mgr.ReadMeSoon!? 23:49, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
Against Don't get me wrong, it's very good. There's just absolutely nothing funny about it. -RAHB 01:36, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
Against. Damn it. I hate having to vote against people's images that are only nominated because of a shortage of nominations (or so they say). Really. I do. However. I must agree with RAHB on this one. Very nice image, well executed, but, at the end of the day, its just Earth as a Death Star, and its not making me laugh. However, if you keep up work of this caliber, Readmesoon, you'll be bound to make me laugh eventually. -- TheZombiebaron 16:39, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
Against as non-original work per my earlier tentative abstain. ~~Heeren["Meh"][tecħ][kurk][26/07 16:53]
Against. Per HV. Readmesoon should get a good kick in the balls for trying to pull this on us. It's only a valid nom if you have made the image yourself. MrN 17:01, Jul 26
Abstain, but am raising concerns over origin of the picture as per this. ~~Heeren["Meh"][tecħ][kurk][26/07 16:33]
Heerenveen, my friend sent me an email with this picture, perhaps from that site? I did a few brief touch ups, however. – Preceding unsigned comment added by Readmesoon (talk • contribs)
Sorry but I'm not sure whether there is a limit as to how much chopping you must do before it is "original" (after you start smashing the computer?) but it is more than this, sorry. --SirDJ~Irreverent 17:13, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

You notice the headline up there? It's the photoshop magic. It's text based only because it's a picture of a newspaper. But look at that smiling man! He makes me feel warm and fuzzy, and although we'll never know his name, he'll always be there to remind us. Remind us of something. Actually, now that I get a good look at it, this photoshop is so well done, I'm not even sure it's a photoshop anymore. Actually, yeah, who does Cap'n Ben think he is, trying to pass this off as a photoshop? Oh no wait, I see it. Sorry about that. Yeah, anyway, this is just... it's... it's just so awesome. I want a poster sized print out of this picture. Maybe make a t-shirt with it. Tioadnsp82316ydhsa] Le Cejak•<15:19, 20 Jul 2008>

Against; it is obvious that this was created by making a white box (white, which I might add, does not match the grey of the newspaper) and then placing text on top of that white box (text, which I might add, does no fit in with the other text of the newspaper). Plus, its text based because the joke is just that someone was able to manipulate text - nothing else was changed, and, as I've already demonstrated, the text wasn't really manipulated very well. -- TheZombiebaron 15:27, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
By that I clearly mean abstain --SirDJ~Irreverent 15:30, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
I don't see any text in that picture, Zombiebaron. And since this is a serious nomination, I'm going to assume that you hate text. Why don't you use pictures to express how much you hate text, huh, bigshot? Ya think yer big, eh? huh? eh? Le Cejak•<17:37, 20 Jul 2008>

Against; the open mouth of a bag is not one colour, this is an injoke (if it be a joke at all...it is, after all, just a bag in a circle), its really far too small, and MoneySign's original is much more flaming. -- TheZombiebaron 00:33, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
Meh Not really diggin' it. The thought that Captain Obvious has a cereal just isn't funny to me. -RAHB 13:01, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
Against It seems like Captain Obvious is trying to be funny with his quotes. He's funniest when he doesn't try. Also, stroll through the cereal aisle of your local grocery store and you won't find a single box with the mascot dispensing lame quotes on the cover. The Oscar Wilde toy is a nice touch but it qualifies this as an in-joke. --Pleb SYNDROMECUNmedicate(butt poop!!!!) 16:06, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
For If not for the absurdity alone (dammit, Modus already said that, there was nothing here when I clicked edit), then for the very well-done-ness of it. I actually really like it. I haven't liked a VFP image this much for a while actually. -RAHB 22:25, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
Nah. Amusing concept, but the image needs betterifying. There's some lines around Bush, and this weird spot where the sky changes color. Nobody likes a wishy-washy sky. We're in a color war, sky! Pick a side! - P.M., WotM, & GUN,Sir Led Balloon(Tick Tock)(Contribs) 20:19, Aug 6
I don't know... I was just playing around in photoshop and decided to mess with his picture. trying to get it taken off here because the nomination was not intentional.
The "Great Beast" Aleister Crowley pictured at the Hastings Hospital Accident and Emergency waiting room, following an unfortunate incident involving friend Victor Neuburg, the Book of Abramelin the Mage, two pounds of animal fat and a "King Dong" vibrator.
The vibrator could do with a little work, but the image idea and execution are excellent. A great reworking of an infamous image. -- Sir Mhaille (talk to me)
Personally, I don't get it. ~Mgr.ReadMeSoon!? 23:49, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
No laughing, whoever that is whatever he was doing with that guy and that thing I have no idea and no real desire to find out. --SirDJ~Irreverent 10:03, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
Wait, are you telling me that thing through his head isn't a giant pencil? Jeez. Now I feel all innocent and ignorant and stuff. -- TheZombiebaron 16:36, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
Against. Didn't find it funny. --UU - natter13:21, Aug 12

Conditional for What bothers me isn't actually the bit where it connects to the hand, but the black end of it. It seems flat in comparison with the rest of its 3D surroundings. Maybe I'll change my vote though, I do like the image and concept. -RAHB 10:19, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
I'm sure I speak for several ones of other people when I say that I'd vote on this maybe if I understood half of the references in the image or the caption. --Pleb SYNDROMECUNmedicate(butt poop!!!!) 05:02, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
The original image can be found here. Aleister Crowley was "a British occultist, writer, mountaineer, poet, and yogi." Basically, he did a lot of really outlandish stuff, and a lot of it had to do with magic and sex, amongst other things. The reference here is that Crowley was experimenting, as he was wont to do often, and something went terribly wrong, landing him in the emergency room with a dildo through his head. -RAHB 09:21, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
For Made me laugh when I saw it on the front page. It's a shame the image is small and low quality. --Pleb SYNDROMECUNmedicate(butt poop!!!!) 04:54, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
Eh....For - It does make me laugh, but, as you say, it's low quality. I still give it a for though. - Admiral Enzo Aquarius-Dial the Gate 05:01, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
Snafu The flyer said I can nom 2 per week. A week has passed, I suppose. A satanic mix of current events and flags. What will Gertie think up next? --SirGeneralMinisterG5FIYCUPotM[Y]#21 F@HKUN 18:17, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
Yeah. I remember when I first used Exel. Back when "pie charts about pie", "bar graphs about erections", and "whatever else people use Exel for" were really really funny. That was over ten years ago. And, while I still use Exel to amuse myself with "witty" misplaced titles and headings, I've seen this one done before. And no, this vote is not "per Boomer". It just happens to be similar, but longer. Much longer. For no reason. Whatsoever. -- TheZombiebaron 08:41, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
I could have sworn we already had a featured image just like this, but I couldn't find it. I was probably hallucinating...my memory was probably hallucinating. Hallucinatory Memory Syndrome. Yeah. That's it. Oh, also, against. -RAHB 09:02, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
Nah, you just suck at finding things. And while I'm here, against. --Zyrac 20:49, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Make it look more like the number is on the turtle, and not just suspended in the air in front of him. Turn the angles a bit, fiddle with opacity and some distorting of the number, stuff like that. -RAHB 23:12, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
As per RAHB. Use some distortion tweaks on the text, and you might want to use a clipping plane to shadow it as relevant to the turtle's shell. --Mr. MonkeyPant-hoot here. 01:13, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
The turtle should be more on fire. -- TheZombiebaron 15:00, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
Against. nice effort, but as per everyone before me, also, the turtle should be crashing into a wall/another turtle. Robertodole 23:54, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
