How To Quit Smoking pictures - [
According to the recent study by U.S. Centers for Disease Control there are over 45 million adult smokers in the U.S., 70% of whom said they wanted to quit. Only 5% to 10% of smokers are successful on any given attempt and it takes smokers five to six tries to end their addictions for good. ]
All the studies today point to tobacco as being unhealthy. I am sure we all know someone that smokes cigarettes and if we believe the researchers, we want them to quit. I have smoked for many years myself and would like to quit. Although there are many methods, I've not found one that works for me. So today, using the power of the internet, I am asking for your help.
In this contest, we are asking you to show different or unconventional methods of quitting. You can also show alternatives or substitutes for cigarettes.
Thanks to mashby for sponsoring this contest.

Stephen King pictures -
Famous horror novelist and story writer Stephen King celebrates his 60th birthday today. Up to date, he has written over 200 stories including some of the best selling horror and fantasy novels. Several of his stories were made into the major movies, including The Shining, The Running Man, and The Green Mile.
To celebrate the 60th birthday of the great horror and fantasy mastermind Stephen King, photoshop anything related to him. Some good examples are immortalizing Stephen King in paintings, designing a book cover for his books (merging with other books is ok), or photoshopping posters of the movies based on King's stories (merging with other movies, designing a sequel, etc.)

Hacking pictures -
The Apple's
iPhone will be the most hacked electronic device in 2008, according to the Arbor's Security and Engineering Response Team (ASERT).
The attacks will be mainly in the form of malware triggered and activated by the iPhone Web browser, when iPhone users browse seemingly harmless webpages. The report mentions two main reason why hackers target iPhone - relative easiness, and prestige of hacking a new platform.
In this contest we ask you to photoshop what life would be like if the world was ruled by hackers. E.g. imagine how they would change text on computer keyboards, movie titles, company names, currency, etc. Here's a brief introduction to hackers lexicon. 900d 1uck, 3v3ry0n3!
Smoking pictures - Photoshop politicians and celebrities smoking to relieve their frustration of any kind. Remember that it is a bad habit to smoke, so the worse you show it the better.
Smoking images - With all the smoking bans, what ways do you think tobacco companies will resort to in order to get their product into the hands of smokers? What products will be created, or what products will we see tobacco as an "additive"? Note: we are not promoting tobacco use with this contest, we understand it is a health risk. Our advice is - do not smoke, and quit if you can.
New Orleans Sinking? pictures - With the recent "hurricane season" warnings from the government, already sinking New Orleans faces another danger of flooding. In this contest you are asked to show how New Orleans adjusts to "underwater life" by chopping everyday (or rare) situations happening underwater.
Hacking Banks pictures - Show how hackers would change a "face" of famous American banks - banks' names, logos, trademarks, etc.
Smoking Olympics pictures -
Chinese authorities announced that there will be a ban on smoking in Beijing during the upcoming Olympics. The decision was met with much social unrest among Chinese population.
Smoking is so big part of Chinese culture that even half of Chinese male doctors smoke. Overall 320 million people smoke in China, making up 24.5% of the world's total smokers.
Let's imagine what would happen if upcoming Beijing Olympics were held in Chinese "cultural way" where smoking were encouraged or even required for participating athletes. Some examples are: photoshop advertisements promoting smoking during Beijing Olympics, athletes smoking during competitions, athletes puffing out smoke rings, etc.
FreakingNews Turns 3 pictures -
[ FreakingNews officially opened its doors to the public on October 23, 2003, in the heat of pre-election political events. We found that most photoshop sites stayed away from political photoshopping, while the political sites which had photo-satire were either Democrat sites or Republican sites, representing only one side of political coin. Our aim was to provide such a playground for photoshoppers with diverse political views, where they would chop in the spirit of healthy competition, interacting and appreciating each other's satire based on the current news. I'd like to think our attempts did not fail.
]
Has it been 3 years already? My, it seems like only yesterday I loaded
the code, made a silly logo and called this "a site". Then several n00bs
showed up with pre-historic versions of Adobe Photoshop. Computer
monitors only had 4 pixels back then, so the first chops were real
simple. Many sleepless nights and many beers later FreakingNews
remains the playground for goofballs and artists alike.
To celebrate our 3rd anniversary, in this contest you are asked to
show FreakingNews ruling the world in any aspect you like - media,
business, households, relationships, etc.
