# I in no way endorse the behavior of the majority of MP's recently, I'm as outraged as the next man at the manipulation of the system by those at the top.
I would be equally annoyed if I saw a competition put up by say the conservatives criticising the labour party and I imagine that that wouldn't be greeted so well by users. I liked to look at this site as anymans place for posting what they like.
I saw the competitions as people's opportunity to think of something funny on a specific issue rather than a sponsored platform to push one spicific political idea.
Though to St's and jamnogs points i understand if the makers want to cash in a bit as it's probably not the most profit generating websites. It is his right to do what he likes with the site but i feel that one of the reasons I like to visit this site has been tarnished. Don't get me wrong I'm not leaving yet, just feel slightly saddened.

# I see your point
but finding a new image challenge is, I'm sure, never easy (i rarely enter because I'm not funny); so this is a new angle because there is a prize. I don't think it is the way B3ta is going: it is a one off for fun. I'd hate a Sponsered Comp every week: but that won't happen.

I hope.
