Before I start, I want you to know I'm not being bitter. Not at all. I'm simply utterly confused, bamboozled, bemused, bewildered - whatever. I instantly know as I type this, I'll get the flourish of "omg ur jst cryin cuz u dint win!1".
Not at all.
I just really cannot understand how a paint job - and so poor a paint job at that - won. Excluding my own, there were plenty of other great if not better efforts. They looked better, more effort was made, and they generally didn't look utter cockshank.
I mean, part of the incoherently thrown together concoction of, to be honest, pish-poor drawings, was this -- [URL]http://www.geocities.com/thekyzzone3/footballfosco.JPG[/URL]
Sorry, but come on. That is blindingly poor. It looks as if it were drawn by a retarded Himalayan gorilla with the intelligence of a teaspoon, and the mental capacity of a pencil.
Just to reiterate for those with a memory span of a finger nail (which is the majority of you), this is not meant to be a whiny ar**d post. Just a statement of my complete and utter confusion at how such, and to steal Nashy's word, 'cockshank' won.

I'd like your honest opinion here.
Which do you believe is the better drawing(s)? I really wouldn't have put such effort in if I knew the former link would win.
What a way to waste more than a week of valuable revision time.
I'm still sure I'll get the barrage of "omg ur crap cuz u dint win!11392", and "but omg it woz para!1 ur jst jelus!1".
To this I say, shut up and open your eyes.
Freakin' morons.
At least my picture made sense in the slightest. And at least I could spell "Tony", rather than "omg sherrrighef".
Hmmm.
And please, oh please - don't try and guilt trip me because of my insulting of those utterly retarded...things, because it's plain to see.
They're boll*cks.
I tried so very hard to like your entries Kyz, I really did. I tried three times, but failed each time due to the fact that I failed to go not 10 seconds without feeling the need to bludgeon my own head with a knife in an attempt to rid my mind of the images.
Bah.
Not bitter. Honest.

Yes, that's what I mean. Quality.
Which Para's have little of.
Which Para's have little of.
Judging the competition entirely on effort or artistic ability are both foolish ways to do it. It should be the quality of the entry, and as such should encompass the effort the person's put into it, originality, humour, fun, and yes, artistic substance as well as other aspects.
Holding the competition purely with regards to artistic talent would be ridiculous and unfair.

I agree with CTU.
If i put loads of effort into a post, lets say 3,000 words, and all of it read like it was written by a 5 year old, with no humour whatsoever, and, let's say, Snuggly made a post about how his Goldfish had died, which one would win?

I didn't really care, hence why I didn't say anything at the time.
Oh, and I'm pretty sure I won the last EGAD!

Oh hush. I won, you suck get over it.
The only reason I didn't win this time was because I kicked ass in the last one.
(I kicked ass this time around but the new staff just don't seem to get how much I rock. But they'll learn)
True story.

"Finally, we bring you around to the WWE forum:
In here we have lots of kiddies who think that it’s funny to miss people with chairs and watch them fall to the floor suffering from a cracked skull. I’ve never posted a topic in here before, lets post one now and see what happens…
OK, I’ve only got one reply and he was having a go at me, I’m guessing that everybody is watching Smackdown, Bazzman probably isn’t in a good mood because Sky One isn’t working for him…"
