Advanced Photoshop Pictures Contest - 20 image entries Contest Directions:
In an unusual twist to the Saddam Hussein saga,
some people in Baghdad are claiming that they are seeing Saddam's ghost in Baghdad public areas. Obviously hell kicked Saddam out because hell is too good for him. It's also obvious it's much better to live in hell than in Baghdad.
In this contest you are asked to photoshop Saddam Hussein's ghost in any way you like. Now that hell kicked him out what things Saddam's ghost may do and in what places or events he may be seen?

This contest is fueled by the following news:
Saddam Hussein saga goes on. People around the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, have reported seeing the ghost of their former president. Reported sightings have come from restaurants, markets, and other public places.
Sources say, this may be a plot by the Baathists to keep Saddam Hussein "alive" among the Sunni communities.
Some claim his ghost is seen in restaurants, markets and so on. It is possible many Saddam look-alikes are now more prominent and people are mistaking these look-alikes as possible Saddam. It is also possible that Saddam was such a threat that people just cannot believe he is dead and not coming back.
None of the sightings are from people considered 'reliable' and none have been confirmed by Iraqi authorities. Saddam was buried at Awja near the remains of his sons Uday and Qusay.
Well, I don't know if I would call it a ghost but every time I light a bonfire in my backyard it seem to take on a pretty familiar shape... Saddam peeking out from H E Double Hockeysticks maybe?
"Spirit ! Before I draw nearer to that stone to which you point, answer me one question. Are these the shadows of the things that Will be, or are they shadows of things that May be, only?"
You know what the Super Bowl MVP says when he wins the award? "I'm going to Disney World!" Saddam thought it would be cool to go there, too, after his hanging. But he brought his displaced statue, too.
