# There is no such thing
as a bad compo.

If you are clever and funny, you can think up something worthwhile for any of them.

# That is 100% of fact
but it doesn't stop a million "bad compo"-entries

Its not even that theya re bad, its just, they are often nothing but bad b3ta posts for a reason.

# it's not that they are 'bad' posts necessarily, due to quality of shopping skills, good humour etc,
agreed, no compo can be bad - merely the entries, but
this one may as well have a big neon sign above it going
"What apple products do you know that you can get into a compo entry??? - an ipod, well done, you're through to round two"...

# The board can be filled
with unoriginal and derivative pictures regardless of the challenge.

Everyone should take that as inspiration to make good stuff that pushes the crap stuff off the board.

# Yes but,
It's just that this challenge invites the lazy to repost trite and tired jokes. Apple has been the subject of too many photoshops, and the only good entries will be the meta-competitive. Same goes for any challenge involving movies or Microsoft ...

The minority magazines challenge was fresh as magazines are seldom shopped, and the idea of "minority" forced originality from the get-go.

# very well put,
although I do find the occasional movie challenge is good
for a giggle every now and then, theres always a good few that
will make me genuinely laugh out loud

# I totally disagree.

True, a clever person can usually find humour in any
situation. But saying there is no such thing as
a bad compo is glib shite. Of course there are
bad compos. Everything is not relative.
