Saddam to Hang picturesAdvanced Photoshop Pictures Contest - 12 image entries
Contest Directions:  [ Saddam Hussein was convicted and sentenced Sunday to hang for crimes against humanity in the 1982 killings of 148 people in a single Shiite town. Saddam's demand that he be executed by firing squad, was denied because shooting violates Iraq's death penalty law. ]
After numerous crimes against humanity, Saddam had no doubt he would be sentenced to death when he got caught. His choice was rather "shoot me now, or shoot me later". However he was denied being shot by a firing squad, because 'shooting violates Iraq's death penalty law.' In other words Saddam was denied the luxury many American convicts have - shooting, lethal injection, gas chamber, hanging, and electric chair (not necessarily in that order). Ain't democracy great?
In this contest you are asked to photoshop Saddam in his "final moments" in rope, promoting any products or services. E.g.
"Advil - the second best remedy against pain" -Saddam Hussein
Remember that your advertisement has to include rope and Saddam.

| This contest is fueled by the following news: |
| | Saddam Hussein, the former president of Iraq who was overthrown by U.S. forces, has been sentenced to death by hanging following his conviction in an Iraqi criminal court for crimes against humanity. Hussein and six of his top former aids were found guilty of executing 148 Shiites in the torn of Dujail. The killings were said to have occurred in 1982. They were said to be in retaliation for an attempt on the former Iraqi leader's life at that time. Hussein's brother in law was also given a
death penalty. The former Iraqi vice president, another of the defendants, was sentenced to fifteen years in prison -- as were three other of the defendants. Hussein refused to stand when he was being sentenced by the judge. He eventually did jump to his feet and started shouting: "Long live the nation! Down with the traitors! God is great! We are the people!" One of Hussein's lawyers was not in the courtroom at the time of the sentencing. Former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark, who was part of the defense team, was thrown out of the courtroom by the presiding judge because the judge said Clark has "slammed" the Iraqi people. |
