# Initially it was to hijack the image challenge but it seems to have spread beyond that now

# well, originally
it was suggested as a challenge shortly before the marvel/disney one was announced. then it was used as the challenge anyway.

# One particular case has been documented from Australia.
In February 1995, a man committed suicide on parkland in Canberra, Australia. He took a pump action shotgun and shot himself in the chest. The load passed through the chest without hitting a rib, and went out the other side. He then walked fifteen meters, reloaded, leaned the shotgun against his throat, and shot his throat and part of his jaw. Breathing through this gunshot-inflicted tracheotomy, he reloaded, walked 136 meters to a hill slope, lay down on the slope, held the gun against his chest with his hands and operated the trigger with his toes. This shot entered the thoracic cavity and demolished the heart, killing him.

# To be brutally honest Canberra is a pretty boring place
I can see where he was coming from

# That as well
Maybe at the end of the week we should summarise all the posts. By reposting them in new threads over the course of Wednesday, during British working hours. It would be a fitting tribute.

# Image Challenge Hijack?
as a protest, or sour grapes because it was not chosen as the IC?

Not that I dissapprove, the Chinese Guy appears to be popular and nothing is more anarchistic than B3ta so the idea of hijacking the IC is one I would have expected to have happened much earlier although mostly people have gone along with the chosen IC.

The Disney/Marvel thing doesn't inspire me as such but there has been some good entries especially the one just down this page.

# neither
just as an alternative. zeltergiset wrote a lengthy defence of it at some point.

# I showed up a few hours late so I'm not sure if there were reasons
and to be honest I think most of the good disney/marvel ideas had been done before the challenge was announced.

# This is probably full of truth
I yearn for the good old days of compos that comprised of Vikings and Kittens

# "Vikings and Kittens"
That's a fantastic challenge suggestion! Far better than "The Wizard of Oz. We all love it. Transformers. We all love it. So fire up Photoshop and put these film posters together!" or "Tony Blair. What a cunt. Fire up Photoshop and show Blair that you think he's a cunt."
