It's a crazy enough concept to work, especially since somebody else has been doing it for about a decade! But see if that stops us!

You can't beat dem Photoshop Phridays

Well

Fark forumers are almost as good.
"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."

I have three very important questions about today's priday.

1. Who are the tongue-baring woman and the bald dude that are combined on page 7?

2. Why does combining Brad Pitt with Jennifer Aniston make him look less like a woman?

3. And finally, why is this so much more awesome when Conan does it?

Dunno about 1 and 2, but the answer to 3 should be obvious: because Conan is just that damn better than SA.com. :D

Don't hate; appreciate!

RIP Eddie.

This sounds interesting. Can somebody (preferable someone with no stars and a low post count) make a post direct linking one of the images so we can all see it in the thread itself.

I posted that 5 minutes before I had to leave for school, and I rarely read that part, thats why I said probly admitted, because I was pretty sure they said that they were ripping off If they mated.

Very few of the combinations were on the If They Mated level. A lot of them didn't make them outrageous enough, or they just used poor source pictures. ITM tends to make the creations horrifically ugly, but most of the PP ones were merely...unattractive.
