# NEW IMAGE CHALLENGE - NOW ONLINE


If the World was Ginger: Ginger people have been in the news this week, hounded and humiliated for their crimson locks and freckled skin. But what if the tables were turned, and they were worshipped as Gods? Show us life in Ginger World...

# Oh Christ.
I understand that it is hard, what with there being the need for one EVERY week, but you do seem to go for ones where it is easy to make the initial image, rather than thinking them through - how much original humour can there be in this one? Really?

What was your first thought - oh, you did it - hmm, oh yes, that's almost it.

/rant.

# Well...
In that sense, all challenges are the same: in 'tough' challenges, the entries that are well-thought out tend to do well, and when not much thought is required, the entries that are well-thought out tend to do well. It doesn't make much difference in the end...

As for the initial image being easy to make, I'm all for that - it's not a technical challenge, it's about making the joke.

(also: I might be setting the challenges, but it is a democracy: they're either selected by the board or discussed behind the scenes. It's not just me acting on a whim).

# Obviously I am aware that it isn't just random stupidity,
but seriously, crap competitions fuck the board up for three days - the film one was easy, but they were different - making the world ginger . . . Where can it go? Maybe I will be pleasantly surprised, but I can't help feeling that we will have a repeat of the last three days of Olympic logos, but with ginger people.

The only time I have actually been angry was the racist one, although if the BBC today are to considered, maybe this is as bad?

# I suppose I better post some pictures of me.
As I am ginger. I am far from worshiped, especially in my own home. I do however like people to afford me the proper amount of respect in person else they get a kick in the cunt. This is called status quo.
