PacMan pictures - Pac-Man, the most popular video game of all times, is now released on
the Xbox 360. So even though this hungry little fella has just
celebrated his 26th anniversary (first release in 1980), we still
think of Pac-Man when we think of video games. I don't know how many
hours I played this game, but it was A LOT...
Why do we love this game? First it's real simple, and ANYONE,
literally anyone can play it. I have read that somebody trained a
monkey to play Pac-Man (no kidding). Second, it represents the ideal
life for guys, so to speak, -- eating as much as you like and not
getting fat, "scoring", and "popping cherries", and getting away from
ghosts... and if you screw up, you always have an extra life left.
Nice. Real nice. There's a natural Pac-Man living in every one of us.
Think about it next time you yawn, and look in the mirror.
In this contest you are asked to photoshop one of the following:
1) Pac-Man character(s) appearing in famous paintings, advertisements
or products
2) Pac-Man character(s) appearing in the things they do not
belong. E.g. Pac-Man-shaped tomato
3) Animals or people with Pac-Man like heads
4) "Pac-Man characters in real life" - take the game out of the
screen and put them in real-life photos (eating real life things,
chasing real life people and animals).
Make an effort to 3-Dimensionalize your Pac-Men. Simple 5 minute
copy-paste flat Pac-Men will be disqualified.
P.S. Do you know how Pac-Man came into this world, btw? In 1979, the
future game's designer, Toru Iwatani was having dinner with his
friends at one of the Tokyo pizzerias. When he saw the pizza after a
slice had been removed, he was inspired by the shape, and came up
with the idea of so shaped hungry little fella eating things. 15
months later Namco released Pac-Man.

Robots Like Humans pictures -
[
Scientists are trying to make new robots
more human. Such robots will exhibit adaptive learning behavior
and will learn things not pre-programmed into them. They will also
recognise humans as humans, instead of just "any other objects".
]
If humanization will include functions like "cutting a fart" and
"scratching a butt", I am all for making robots as human as possible.
And I like the idea that robots will "recognize humans as humans,
instead of just 'any other objects'".
This way you can tell a robot to shoot turkeys for Thanksgiving,
without worrying about human casualties. I am sorry, did I say "robot"?
I meant Dick Cheney.
In this contest you are asked to photoshop celebrities and politicians
as robots.
Nicole Kidman pictures -
Nicole Kidman blows out the candles on her 40th birthday cake today, Oscar-winner Kidman can rest assured she's truly Hollywood royalty. In 2006, she became the highest paid actress in the film industry. Hey Tom. See what you are missing out on?

sheep that's 15% human. The sheep looks 25% more human than Michael Jackson.

Human Eggs pictures -
This week doctors announced a new fertility treatment technique which will allow them to grow human eggs in clinics. The pioneering technique will take an ovarian tissue with immature eggs from a woman, and freeze them until a woman decides to conceive and have a baby. At that time the immature eggs are cultivated with a special hormone to grow into mature eggs ready for fertilization. Such fertility treatment breakthrough is especially important for business women who are too busy to start a family, but want to make sure they will be able to have a baby later.
In this contest let us show how life would be different if humans laid eggs and hatched from eggs (e.g. like birds). Some examples are: a woman holding an egg with a hatching baby, nests with human eggs, birth related products and advertisements. You can also show fully grown adult humans - politicians and celebrities, or anyone else - hatching from eggs or laying eggs. For the purposes of this contest we will allow both men and women to lay eggs.
Please make sure your entries are safe for work.

Human Fish Hybrids pictures -
Surgeons in Great Britain use shark skin grafts to help regenerate human skin on some patients with skin burns. Apparently such treatment tricks the human body into regenerating new skin cells, rather than producing scar tissue. The latest patient is a burned terror suspect Kafeel Ahmed who is still in coma after he crashed a Jeep Cherokee at Glasgow Airport terminal on June 30, to cause a blast.
Photoshop any hybrids between humans and fish. Give fish human body parts, or vise versa, cover people with fish scales, etc. Research showed that goldfish, for example, has a memory span of about 30 seconds. We can probably find some celebrities like that who descended from fish. Another example of natural man fish hybrid would be sharks and lawyers. Any type of fish is allowed, but please remember that dolphins and whales are not fish, but mammals. You are welcome to use celebrities, politicians, or any unknown humans in this contest.
David Letterman pictures -

I have news for all you really smart scientist guys. Small minds prevail in two places already, Hollywood and Washington D.C.
In this contest we ask you to photoshop a completely new humanoid species. No cyborgs or robots though. They can be a human animal cross, a male / female cross or any deformed celebrities or politicians (aliens, etc.). Remember to keep it tasteful and safe for work.

Living Mannequins pictures -
[
Mannequins have been long used for crash tests and in
first aid and CPR training. Now hospitals have access to $20,000 computerized mannequin which actually delivers a plastic baby and can simulate 12 various emergency situations - a step in making mannequins with more human functions.
]
So, there you have it - mannequins are not dummies any more - they are actually more humans than many of us. They already show us how to deliver babies. Next, they will show us how to make babies. Sure, the whole process is a simulation, but who says women don't simulate in real life? I had a mannequin girlfriend once, and she was the best girlfriend I had - never bugged me with silly questions, didn't spend hours in clothes departments, and always sat next to me while I drank beer and watched football. It's a pity we broke up - she left me for another mannequin.
In this contest you are asked to show mannequins living as humans, and doing jobs and relationships humans do.
PacMan pictures -
Today is the anniversary of PacMan. On October 10, 1979 this video game was first released in Japan and became a classic hit. The original game name for the US release was planned as Puck Man, but the distributors realized that many people would erase part of the first letter, so PacMan name was used instead, which became classic and virtually synonymous with video games.

Gary Oldman pictures -
English actor and filmmaker Gary Oldman celebrated his 50th birthday this Friday. While Oldman never won Academy Awards through his career, he is one of the most famous and recognizable English actors.
His fame started in the 80s when he played Sid Vicious in 1986 biopic "Sid & Nancy". His other famous performances include movies Dracula,
Leon, The Fifth Element, and recent Harry Potter films.
One of my personal favorite roles of Gary Oldman is his magnificent portrayal of Mason R. Verger
in Hannibal (2001).
One of the interesting facts in his biography is that he was married to Uma Thurman (1990–1992).
Happy 50th Birthday, Gary!
To celebrate the 50th birthday of Gary Oldman, photoshop him any way you wish. Some examples are: photoshopping posters of any of his movies, showing what other movies he could have played in, what alternative career he could have chosen, putting Gary Oldman in famous paintings, or showing how he will look in the future. These are just some ideas.
Odor in Manhattan pictures -
Manhattan, the most posh and expensive real estate region in the USA, is filled with a strong odor of unknown origin. Interestingly, Manhattan apartment prices jumped again, right before the smell started. Isn't it God's way of saying "This place is so expensive, it stinks."
In this contest you are asked to photoshop anything related to the recent odor in Manhattan. E.g. reveal the origin of the odor, how it changes life in Manhattan and whole New York, or the new product and tourism advertisements connected to the odor in Manhattan.
Snow Mania pictures - [ Canada's Niagara region & US western New York have been hit by a heavy snow-storm this week, cutting off electricity, and setting off a state of emergency in snow covered areas. ] If I learned something when I was a kid, it's that if you get lots of snow you can make a really cool snowman. And if you get a little bit more snow, you can turn your snowman into a nicely endowed snowwoman. Then you can turn your snowwoman into a snowman with huge snow balls. If you are a boy, you can also "write" your name in the snow. On the other hand, a heavy night snowstorm is God saying: "Take today off." So, lots of snow is a win-win situation for kids and for parents alike. Thus I don't get it why New Yorkers scream "Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow...Someplace else!!!"
In this contest you are asked to make things, people and animals from snow. We are not talking just about snow statues, we are talking about any indoor or outdoor objects - e.g., laptops made from snow, snow-made food, cars, weapons, etc. Clarification: snow is not the same as ice - keep that in mind when making your entries.
Birds Like Humans pictures -
[ Chinese celebrate their National Day holiday, which started on Sunday
and lasts for seven days (pretty long day, I should say) with trained
birds riding the unicycles and doing other tricks to amuze the crowds.
See clickable photo. ] Chinese are definitely up to some animal cruelty
lately. First they organize the cruel Animal Olympic Games, next they
force their parrots to ride the unicycles. Those of you who had a
parrot know it ain't easy to force it to ride a unicycle. My parrot
had to call PeTA (Parrots for Ethical Treatment of Animals), when I
repeatedly forced him to ride a unicycle. And when he finally learned to ride
it, PeTA showed up at my door and said it was too cruel to force
my parrot to ride a human unicycle. Perhaps it was, but they forget
that I gave him a break not forcing him to play my piano... just a
guitar, and drums. He was a talented parrot.
In this contest you are asked to photoshop birds doing things humans
do.
