[challenge entry] This image manipulation lark is easier than I thought


edit: added to compo, for some reason

2nd edit: I feel a bit guilty that people like this, when there's lots of genuinely funny stuff and this is just TOABB. It was a satire of something pointless, that has been rendered pointless itself by it's own popularity. Please stop liking this (or at the very least, try and keep it as the exact same popularity as the original message, so it makes sense in context on the compo page). Thanks

# Well I have taken your second edit into account
And I clicked 'Like' purely on the basis of the font, and the good use of contrast in this picture. Is that ok?

Artistic quality is not a big thing in b3ta. You don't need it to make a funny picture, and the snobs who whine about it are the cancer that's killing b3ta(tm). It's only relatively recently that the snobbery has appeared, and frankly that plus all the "edgy political comment" can go and fuck off, and I wish people would stick with kittens and fluffiness.

You responded to a TOAP, quickly, with a TOAP that satirised perfectly some whining bitter original poster had said - or at least it looked that way.

So while I normally find TOAPs aren't all that good, I thought yours was perfect. You seem to have captured the mood of a whole lot of people, myself included. Take some pride in a job well done!

# Hit the nail on the head
Having 9 posts in 5 years post number 10 agrees with this
