Pick a happening from human history, and chances are some crank out there insists it was all faked. Mention the moon landing or 9/11, the Kennedy assasination or the crucifixion of Christ, and cries of "hoax!" are sure to ring forth from the farther corners of the crazysphere. This week, let's do our part to contribute to the decay of consensus reality. Your challenge:
Show us how a historical event was faked.
Post your entry here by 11:59 AM CST on Monday, June 9, 2008.
Prizes are $20/$50/$100 for 3rd/2nd/1st. The rules and criteria for
winning: our panel of volunteer judges can and will make stuff up as it
goes along. Use Photoshop, linoleum blocks, pastels, MSPaint, cave
painting, tattoos, tribal scarification, whatever, but it’ll only be
judged if it’s visible in our forums as a jpg, gif, or png. As we are
fond of saying, try to keep your maximum width to 450px. If you need a
place to host your pictures, try www.imageshack.ws or www.photobucket.com.
We have no connection to either, but they seem free and easy to use.
And if you want us to be sure your entry was indeed your work, post
links to your source images. The more sure we are that you did your own
work, the more likely we are to consider it for a prize.
