Bad Santa Claus Labels pictures -
[ The state of Maine has banned a beer because its label depicts Santa
Claus enjoying a pint of brew. The state said that the label for
"Santa's Butt Winter Porter" is "undignified and improper" and may
attract children. ]
I understand Maine is concerned about morality and "wrong appeal" to
children, but banning a beer for using the image of Santa is like
banning Playboy magazine for using the image of bunny. Children love
bunnies more than they love beer.
So Maine is barking up the wrong tree here. If you want to clean you
state morals, start with ho, ho, hos on your streets, not on beer
labels.
In this contest you are asked to add Santa Claus image to labels,
brands, and products which would be considered inappropriate use of
Santa image. E.g. Santa Claus on alcohol products, condoms, guns,
cigarettes, etc.

Renaissance Plastic Surgery pictures -
[ Scientists in Italy did a "plastic surgery reconstruction" of the face of the most famous Italian poet Dante, 700 years after his life. ]
In the old days people were born and lived as God created them.
Nowadays, plastic surgeons continue the "creation process", but unlike God
they don't do it for free. Pamela Anderson once complained to her
plastic surgeon: "It took you several surgeries to do my breasts and
you charged me a fortune, while God created the world in just six days and he did it for free!" The surgeon said: "Yeah, but look at
this messy world and look at this beautiful pair of breasts."
In this contest you are asked to do plastic surgery on famous works of
art - paintings, drawings and sculptures - and give characters plastic
surgeries. E.g. collagen shots, botox injections, nose jobs, face
lifts, and breast jobs. Any other modernizations of depicted
characters (modernizing clothes, and items) are allowed as long as
there's plastic surgery job done in the entry too.
We will accept works from Renaissance and any other old period.
