We think a good challenge idea is like the opening line of a joke, say "If ads told the truth... Guinness would say 'It makes you fat, and your shit turn black.'"
Maybe you have other ideas.
We're going to leave this thread open, so feel free to add ideas at any time. BTW: Please use the "i like this" button. Your voting really helps the good ideas bubble-up, and the very best will be used in the Image Challenge itself.

As a Software Engineer, I'm constantly plagued by the ever-present negative stereotype - Whether it's Hollywood, TV or advertising, we are always portrayed as a greasy 40 year-old virgin with bad skin and a severe personality disorder.
Scientists, engineers, programmers and geeks of all stripes desperately need an image makeover. So - make geeks cool!

Simply draw the humorous/interesting/strange/confusing sights you see when you close your eyes at night!
No hummus? Take a powernap!
A challenge that could offer a temporary respite from binduns and bandwagons!

In Coventry.

Imagine if Bill Clinton's face suddenly started oozing Marie Rose dressing sauce! Photoshop the results.

Photoshop small people, like the borrowers but not so anachronistically retarded, doing things, like sneaking a sneaky peek into a private room!
Or maybe miniature people doing other things, like getting trapped inside a vaccuum cleaner
put simply : LIFE IN THE WORLD OF GIANTS! or like that show, "PLANET OF THE LARGES"

1) Take some artistic device, be it Biro, paint, sellotape or whatever.
2) Scribble on a newspaper in a comedic fashion, or make something out of the newspaper. DO ANYTHING WITH A NEWSPAPER BUT DO NOT SHIT IN IT!
3) Take a photo of the resultant and post it.
HUMOROUS COMBINATION OF NEWSPAPER PICTURES OR MODELS OR SCULPTURE AND STUFF LIKE THAT!

One B3tan seems to have the "improved 2012 logo" idea sewn up - and did so with style!
But the idea is good. Why not just extend it to other logos? Take your (least) favourite corporation, and redesign their logo to what it always should have been.

Why not update the character as if he was a real life postman? Perhaps he takez Xanax, or maybe he is having a torrid affair with PC Shelby....

When Arnold Schwarzenegger Becomes President.
Shop Arnold doing presidential stuff as only a president can.
Having an all out gun battle with Vice president Stallone?
'Discussing' the finer points of Global warming with Senator Chuck Norris?

but what about updating the old WW2 propaganda posters? The "loose lips sink ships" one brings a couple of interesting ideas to mind!

Where's Maddie? theoretically her shit-parents want to know, just maybe not right this moment as they continue to bask in the limelight and turn their holiday into the sort of thing that the writers of 'Duty Free' would think beyond belief.

While doing this post I thought it would make a decent compo:
Carlsberg claim that if they made nightclubs they would probably be the best in the world, even though their lager is piss. If corporations expanded beyond their usual product range, what do you think they would make, and what would their advertising campaigns look like?

We all know that Soylent Green is people and that Rosebud was a freakin' sled, but are there other good spoilers to illustrate?
