There is only one possible response to this.

Put that in its context when you drag it out, Ryvar.

What's extra sad is that some of the fake/jokey "pimpings" are just as bad as the originals.

Redesign Superman is much more interesting.

It's only really making fun of bad artists, or rather, showing how much more skill the people on one forum have than on another. (And, as Robot Johnny pointed out, they don't always have more skill.) The people on the eatpoo forums appear to be at least as nerdy as the people on Elfwood. They're just more highly skilled. Why does Metafilter always have make fun of people? I hate that it's cool to make fun of furries.

Why does Metafilter always have make fun of people? It's a law of socialization: for any group of people, there will be at least one other group they feel superior to and run down when talking amongst themselves.

I can't believe I clicked a link that not only is clearly marked as involving furries, but leads to a site that has "eat poo" in its web address. Yikes.

I like the chart.

Wolfdog — Thu, 27 Jul 2006 20:10:40 -0800

Eh, the artwork's not my cup of tea, Frank, but I did happen to know the intended sentiment of the picture Ryvar linked and it cheeses me a little bit to see it misinterpreted.

By: Ryvar

Ryvar — Thu, 27 Jul 2006 20:32:11 -0800

Wolfdog: I figured that was the case. At any rate, it's floating around a lot in various corners of the Internet (I've seen it in 3-4 places with no mention of context), so I can assure you that many, many people had no idea that there was good intent behind what is an (unintentionally) fucking hilarious picture.

By: Scoo

Wow, the whole illustration challenge thing looks right up my alley, but I'm having trouble getting past the whole eatpoo thing. Can anyone suggest similar sites?

I thought the "superman redesign" thing was pretty cool. Some of these guys are pretty good. This, though was, well, no snarky rejoinder could really do it justice.

By: delmoi

delmoi — Thu, 27 Jul 2006 21:28:11 -0800

The transition from this to this was pretty amazing. Some of the "pimping" though isn't even an improvement.

I agree it's probably inevitable, but then so is murder. Doesn't make it right.

Wolfdog, WTF is that site? Where is ASPCA? Seriously. I'm not easily squicked, and, well, I'm thoroughly squicked. But Superman redesign = awesome.

I agree it's probably inevitable, but then so is murder. Doesn't make it right. if you had the opportunity to do so, knowing what the outcome would be if you did not, would you murder HITLER in his emo years? some furries need a little tough love.

Looks like Wolfdog might be a Furry! (or maybe a furry sympathizer).

Put that in its context when you drag it out, Ryvar. Yeah, it's much funnier in context.

NSWF. Party foul, man. Though the "eat poo" url, and the references to furries (read: perverts) are good hints. Even before my morning coffee I don't think I'd click on that thing. For furry bashing you can't beat Something Awful. They are pros. And furry bashing is cool, even though deep down you suspect it's kind of mean. It just feels so right.

Actually, I thought the original on this one was better than the redux. And then in this one, sure, the redux is prettier, but that's because the original is a simple line drawing. Nothing wrong with the original, though.

Oh come on don't you know that furries, suburban swingers, vampires, BBW-lovers and BDSM folk deserve to die. Unless of course, they are hawt, then they get brought back every season as a reoccurring character. Eventually someone is going to hit the great multi-faceted multi-fetish pinball-tilt Angry-God-trigger in the sky: Multibreasted, lactating, penis-nippled bovine-equine on fox-dolphin fat-feeding voraphiliac hermamphroditic-transexual sadomasochistic gothic lolita balloon-animal-humping dragon-vampires. And on that day we'll finally piss God off enough to seal the fiery fate of the cosmos itself.

"...on that day we'll finally piss God off enough to seal the fiery fate of the cosmos..." I like to think that God sets a bit of time aside every week to see highlights of "furries, suburban swingers, vampires, BBW-lovers, BDSM folk" and the like, and he gets a kick out of it. Sincerely laughs out loud a lot. It's like His equivalent of really bad TV. Like how you might secretly enjoy America's Funniest Videos or Fear Factor, but you don't wanna tell anybody cuz they'll laugh. My God isn't vengeful. He just has a sick sense of humor. YMMV.

Your sarcasm detector is miscalibrated. There is no God. Furries are proof of this.

By: ZachsMind

That's the beauty of it, Loquacious. Furries ARE proof that there is a God. And He is a sick fucker.

That's not God, that's your skeezy uncle. And I noticed you arbitrarily capitalized my username as if I were a Deity. Wait, does that make me your skeezy uncle?
