Fark.com Photoshop Contest Entries
Fark is a member-submitted news site, meaning members submit news story links to Fark moderators. If the mods find the stories worthy (or worthier than the rest) they are added to the homepage, with a one-word description indicating the submitter's opinion of the article (Interesting, Cool, Unlikely, Walken (Christopher), Obvious). This helps surfers quickly find stories that appeal to them. Each story has a comments section where members can make witty and incisive comments such as "I'd hit it" and "This sucks".
What's all this then?
When I first stumbled across Fark in February 2003, I took a liking to it right away, especially to the articles marked "Photoshop". These generally link to a story with an interesting picture. In the comments area, Farkers are asked to Photoshop the picture in some way. This page contains my submissions to date.
