Last week, I asked you to imagine horrible movie remakes and sequels that not even the folks in Hollywood would be so bold as to create. You responded. Oh, how you responded. I have to share with you nearly 50 movies that, god willing, we will never, ever have to see. I hope. OK, hit the jump to see your top three winners and then all the other winners in our Gallery of Champions.
Hollywood is going a little bit crazy with the unnecessary sequels and remakes these days, more often than not taking a beloved show or movie from our younger years and holding it down while it drowns in a bathtub. Still, there are properties left unmolested, memories that have yet to be tarnished. Trust me: it’s only a matter of time. For this week’s Photoshop contest, I want to see you imagine some new sequels or remakes that would be so offensive to your precious memories that you would swear off movies for good.
Bill Gates is retiring in a couple of weeks! Oh lordy, the crown prince of Microsoft, retired! What’s he going to do with all his free time? He’ll be the richest retiree ever, so he’ll have plenty of options to fill his days. As you can see, I posit that he’ll hang out on the moon. Your challenge: look into the future and see what Gates will be doing. Then, show us your vision in Photoshop form. Send me your entries of your visions of Gates in retirement to contests@gizmodo.com with “Gates in retirement” in the subject line, and next Tuesday I’ll pick the winners and post a Gallery of Champions. Get crack-a-lackin’!
Last week, I invited you to design some gadgets that, if they actually existed, would be totally illegal. While the response wasn’t as big as our amazing unlikely spokesperson contest, we still got some pretty solid, albeit f’ed up, entries. Hit the jump to see the top three winners and the rest of the winning entries in our Gallery of Champions.
For this week’s Photoshop contest, I’m asking you to design or create your own gadget. One that, if released, would get you thrown in jail, or at least get whoever used it thrown in jail. Yes, I want totally illegal gadgets.
Oh my. I knew that I was asking for trouble when I called in Photoshops of inappropriate spokespeople for gadgets, but I didn’t realise just how much trouble I was going to get. I got a huge response for this one, including some of the most sick (and hilarious) entries to a Photoshop contest yet. Beyond the literally 30 Steven Hawking selling the Wii Fit ads and nearly the same amount of Ballmer or Gates selling the iPhone, there were some really creative and brilliant entries here. Hit the jump for the top three winners and then the 40+ runners up in our Gallery of Champions. And remember: these are the fruits of our readers’ sick, sick minds, not ours.
For this week’s Photoshop contest, we’re gonna make it a bit easier on those of you with little to no image editing skills. We want to see you make fake ads for gadgets with the most unlikely spokespeople possible. My tasteless example is above, and I trust that you can come up with many ridiculous combos of devices and celebrities. This one is all about creativity and humour, so get your brains working! I’m actually a little nervous about what kind of stuff you guys are going to send in, but maybe that’s the sign of a contest with a lot of potential. Here’s hoping. Send your masterpieces to contests@gizmodo.com with “Unlikely Spokespeople” in the subject line. The best and funniest results will appear in our Gallery of Champions next Tuesday.
