About the author / moderator: Mr. H thrives in dark, cool places, such as theatres, or chilly nighttime campfires. Thriving on a diet consisting primarily of potato and cheese products, this strange species is happiest when working in areas that stretch the mind and heart, especially when reaching other people. Creative outlets are a must. Caution: this species is protective of its kind and its young, and is known to rant in verbal assaults when threatened by the inconsideration or idiocy of others.

My first pathetic attempt at photospoofing



So, my friend Scott introduced me to an amusing site this weekend: Woot.com. On the surface, it's a simple overstock clearance site, where they choose one product someone is trying to unload a bunch of per day and put it up until they're all bought. That's not what makes the site especially fun, though. The product descriptions are all phrased in humorous ways - I killed a good hour browsing past product descriptions - and they have regular photo spoofing contests based on current products.

For example, right now, their contest is to put together a picture of the most ridiculous concept for a remote control feature possible. There are already scores of hilarious examples, far more skilled than I could ever hope to match - but I came up with my own submission, just for the fun and humor of it, and thought I'd like to share it here too. My reasoning: there isn't a sports fan alive who hasn't sat in the stands for his or her favorite team and desperately wished they had this remote.
