Photoshop contest: My stupid ISP's banner ads
« on: August 18, 2004, 03:36:50 PM »

So my ISP informed me that it's their policy to banner paying customers' webpages.

I figured I'd make some banner ads of my own.

Then I thought, "hey... who else is really good at coming up with smartass things like this?"

Here I am.  :)

Animated GIFs are preferred, if you're capable of it.  I've got a few ideas of my own that I'll post once I finish them, but I want to see what the rest of you come up with first.

Here's the original:



Have at it.  :)

Wow, they sure do know a lot of stuff. SSL certs, search engine submissions and everything. It's times like this that I wish I was at all artistically inclined.

I'd pass on that opinion, but they'd probably find it objectionable.

Yes, but if you put it on your old hosted webspace, they can't do anything about it!

Now that's funny.

I'm quite happy with my ISP. Not that that helps you any, just thought I'd like to rub it in.

True. It's just that yesterday I was at the drive true at MacDonalds and there was a line up. they took like 5 minutes per car. I wanted to leave but I was stuck in the lineup. When I finally got there I said "Hey! Isn't this suppose to be fast food?"

"Sorry Sir ,we're doing the best we can"

"Well you're best is mediocre. Now how about a MacSuckItĀ© morron?" and I left. So I felt like putting it in even if it doesn't relate to Star Trek.
