Design the Victory Monument Contest

[Uncle Sparky]

I haven't seen any contests posted in OT in quite a while, so its time.

Its also only a matter of time until the "Coalition of the Willing" overruns Iraq and occupies Baghdad. When they do, I think some sort of monument really should be erected in the centre of town to commemorate the event.

Lets design it !

Try to keep it in relatively good taste - the moderators will act as, shall we say, 1st round judges.

Then, on April 1st we can all vote on the best.

You may use any Photo or Art programs to create your masterpiece, but please keep the posting a reasonable size or post it on your home web page & link to it.

I was personally thinking of creating a salute to some of the lesser Coalition members, like Albania.

Have fun !! Maybe if this works we can talk DanQ & MarkG to donate some nifty Apolyton wear as a prize !!!!

What about a huge hand giving the finger to a small Earth globe ?

[chequita guevara]

How about a colossus bent over with his pants dropped?

[molly bloom]

A gigantic freedom fry, stuck in an oilcan, perpetually giving the finger to the French, and anybody else foolhardy enough to question the wisdom of the Great Sage Bush...

[Skanky Burns]

I would have thought designing "potential" propaganda pamphlets the coalition could have dropped would be more fun.

[Uncle Sparky]

OK folks.

I'm a Canadian, therefore I have very little imagination. To enter, please create visual representations of your ideas.

Skanky Burns - We can do that too ! But remember, a McDonald's coupon (or some other multinational advert) must be part of the design.

What the hell's a freedom fly?

[ranskaldan]

That would be Bush.

[Uncle Sparky]

I think a French Fly would be the button up type, the American Fly a zipper and a Freedom Fly sans zipper or buttons !

[St Leo]

Anything phallic is fine by me and Yoda here.

This thread is about to be (lack of) freedom toast if the spamming continues. If it's going to be a contest, then photoshop away, if it's spam, it's mine.

I'll start work on one now.

[Alexander's Horse]

How about this.

[Urban Ranger]

How about a bronze bush?

[Gatekeeper]

The victory statue should have a scruffy, bearded male wearing a backwards baseball cap, carrying a bat in one hand and a burning American flag in the other hand. On his shoulders will be perched three monkeys: one blind, one deaf and one mute.
