A PS Contest Is Not Your Personal HalL Of FamE
There were a total of 1943 entries in the Classic Fart contest. That's a lot of images to wade through. Beacause I have a boner for gay dudes..
Not to name names, but there were no less than 25 posts containing recycled entries. This happens anytime there is a contest containing a similar theme from a past Fark contest. I know you are proud of your work, peoples. But you should lock it away and never let anyone see it again.
For some of you doing this, it feels like a chance for your image to have a second life. It isn't. Some of you are doing this because everyone else is doing it. Don't succumb to 'peer pressure'! Some of you are subtlety staking your claim to an idea. "I already did a George Bush as Napoleon two years ago, so don't you even think about it, newbs!" Stop it!
This is a trend that has been going on for sometime. It needs to end.
It isn't fair to the people creating something new. It takes away from their work. By the time you get to the first entry with someone's take on Mona Lisa, you've already seen 5 or 6 Mona Lisa's in recycled entries. That's not fair to the new images, and it's not fair to the voters who have to wade through even more images than they need to.
