I'm just getting my jollies from the fact most compos seem to be hit and miss.
The problem with all compos is either they are too tough and out of the skill range of those who don't have access to and knowledge of all the latest apps or they are too easy and anybody can do a 10 second shop for the competition. Repetativeness is boring, that's why we all hate doing repetative tasks. This compo has all the hallmarks of being repetative as we have seen.
Now the space hopper suggestion was good and within the skill level of most b3tas who can draw, photograph, video, 'shop, or paintmash such delights. The compo is really to give us something to aim for - this isn't really a good challenge in that respects - so I'm aiming more for parody of the challenge than meeting it's objectives.
I've nothing against noobs - we all started out as noobs and we will always have fresh noobs coming into the fold - it's when people pick up the bad elements of trollism that noobs can be irritating and such.

it's gonna piss some people off. I have nothing against the Space Hopper suggestion at all, but how is that different to making an image look more rude by omitting something? Yes, you may only technically have to shop a black box onto it or pixellate it, but you still need to find something amusing to do it with.

and we are seeing endless streams of photos with black squares on them without any thought being put into it. There has been to really great entries so far to this challenge - but what this challenge will do is push good postings off the board in less than a minute. As for the SpaceHopper it's more than just sticking a SpaceHopper onto a photo, that wouldn't be funny and mostly pointless - the entries for that rogue challenge have been more inspired than this challenge.

I can do nothing but agree with you wholly.
An excerpt from the forthcoming Biography;
Mediocre: Why Dutch people should never have any power at all.
Sadly, it was even more tragic for the people of
the state of Delaware. On arriving in the present town of Lewes, the Dutch inventor Mediocre screamed at the top of his lungs, "Zwaanendael", before going on a rampage through the city with an oddly shaped Turnip. Resulting in the obliteration of the entire May Fly population of Delaware, along with the death of 17 skunks, a rabbit and the famous delawarean inventor of medical procedures, Henry Heimlech.

It has potential to be shit, yes, as every single challenge does. However, it also has the potential to throw up some fantastic entries.
Just look at Monkeon's already this evening.
It is the people who enter a compo that make it shit with shit entries, not the challenge brief. Yes, some require less thought to just chuck anything in, but that is still down to the individual.

out of music that is not instantly objectionable.
About half of the first album is what she did before (which isn't really displaying much indie cred, I happened to be at uni at the time she was still occasionally playing St Andrews with, err, damn, I've forgotten her band's name, Red Light Stylus, I think they were), kind of ballsy half-bluesy pop that shows off her voice well. The other half is a bit anodyne. But for the half that shows off her voice, I'd actually recommend it.
Plus her dad used to lecture me and he's a top bloke.

And oddly, for a uni lecturer, remembers things you said about what you planned to do when he tutored you in first year three years later when you'd long forgotten them yourself. Which is pretty impressive when you think about it. I can't even remember the names of students I taught three years ago, which makes it particularly embarrassing when you meet them in the street.
