In praise of a good photoplasty contest for once

For whatever reason, this time Cracked's photoplasty contest is actually quite amusing from the word go. Maybe it's because they limited it to only 13 entries, or maybe because the subject matter is better. I don't know. Anyway, here they are.

#13: Waldo as a missing person. That got a little chuckle.

#12: Bad text message rap as poetry. More a sad reflection on our culture than anything else.

#11: This one took me a moment because I didn't immediately look at the picture. I'm weird like that. As soon as I got the joke, I was giggling hysterically. Go see it yourself; I can't do it justice with a description.

#10: WWII as told by a WWII shooter. Yeah, there are too many WWII shooters out there (mostly because WWI and 'Nam don't make good shooters; in one you're just hunkering in your trench until you're ordered over the top, and then you die, while the other can't do better than Apocalypse Now). Eh.

#9: Uh... okay... If I were going to do a joke about pop culture and the Berlin Wall, I'd do The Wall.

#8: Dongs. Moving on.

#7: Moving on.

#6: I don't get it.

#5: Uh... the Lolcat meme as ancient art? I guess? How do these people judge these things?

#4: World War Two as told by an insane Wikipedia editor. "Occupation of Wall Street by USSR" is a nice touch.

#3: Historians are jokes. Or comics. Or something.

#2: Boobs. Moving on.

#1: Santa Claus is the father of us all, as evidenced by the sheer number of family pictures he's in. It's kind of funny, I guess.

Biggest missed opportunity: Pink Floyd's Berlin Wall.

Post-Craig Review: Dr. No

 Back to the very beginning. This is a lie. "The beginning" would surely be a review of Ian Fleming's 1953 novel Casino Royale...
