  • zip000, on 05/29/2009, -0/+4Maybe I'm too old...I don't have a clue what that is. A novel way of smoking pot or something?
  • arthursk, on 05/29/2009, -0/+3It's kind of tricky... find the picture you want, take a photograph of the screen (polaroids are quickest), let the image develop, scan it (face down), then save the scanned image as a .bmp or .wmf, open it up and and right click, "save image as desktop background"
  • JonHs, on 05/29/2009, -0/+3This was made in 2001 when the segway was introduced and photoshop users didn't know how to use it properly?
  • ruforealz, on 05/29/2009, -0/+3what the hell is that thing?
  • AussieJames, on 05/29/2009, -0/+3Wolverine and the Sudanese victim is hilarious but just flat out wrong.
  • ThomasNewman1, on 05/29/2009, -0/+2How can I save one of those and use it as a wallpaper?
  • JonHs, on 05/29/2009, -0/+2but why... they were stoned already back then.
  • displacednomad, on 05/29/2009, -1/+3Winston "Muthrfvckng" Churchill in a Snuggie. That's all I'm saying.
  • zosoIV, on 05/29/2009, -0/+2Gizmodo Photoshop contests = Something Awful Photoshop Phriday...

    ...but with terrible Photoshop skills.
  • ruforealz, on 05/29/2009, -1/+2Dugg for dual volcanos
  • nepidae, on 05/29/2009, -0/+1cool story bro
  • ThomasNewman1, on 05/29/2009, -0/+1Funny, but I had hoped there was a way to do it without using a screencap
  • strictnein, on 05/29/2009, -1/+2Or this one:

  • displacednomad, on 05/29/2009, -0/+1The answer to the second picture lies here:

  • supermanly, on 05/30/2009, -0/+1http://gizmodo.com/photogallery/famouspics/1008453 ...

    This one made me rofl.

    I sorta want to meet Vince in real life. A Meet the Vince video would suffice.
  • pileopooh, on 05/29/2009, -0/+1Dugg for ... Amelia Earhart and her Tom Tom...Oh the visuals that come to mind.
  • tomasmarc, on 05/29/2009, -0/+1There might be 2 reasons:
    1. Most photoshop contest participants are tremendous nerds and like the concept of segway.
    2. Most photoshop contest participants are tremendous geeks and use segway as an in-joke for 'the technology that boasted it will change the world but didn't change *****".

    But yeah, I noticed it too.
  • Crisender111, on 05/29/2009, -1/+2Windows VISTA. . . ahhhhhhhhh!
  • AussieJames, on 05/29/2009, -0/+1I don't see Earhart, wth are you talking bout?
  • captainmo77, on 05/29/2009, -0/+1The first one shows 2 vaporizers. The vap cooks the THC out of marijuana rather than burn it. It fills that bag with THC vapors that you inhale. Its an alternative to inhaling smoke.
  • nard3456, on 05/29/2009, -0/+1that sucked...
  • chicagojack, on 05/28/2009, -1/+1Gutman Jake should have won
