The Race is On

In response to Jake's recent post in which he shooped himself into a picture with Republican presidential candidate John McCain and his running mate, Sarah Palin, I offer these inequalities:




Fireworks MX > Photoshop




Obama > McCain


Yes, I am wearing an Obama party hat.


I > Jake

And so the all-important shooping race for the White House begins. May the best man (me) win.

shoop
shoops, shooping, shooped
-transitive verb
To alter an image using Photoshop or a similar program
-noun
An image which is shooped
[Origin: 2003-4; from "to shop", a derivative of "to Photoshop"]

And remember to vote Obama 2008!

I must say, I am disappointed with your work this time around. Normally you can shoop things much better, but the shadow you made from Obama's finger to your shirt would suggest you're unusually close to him. Also, the flashes from the cameras, seen clearly on his suit, would probably have rendered any shadow from his finger non-existent due to the various angles of light, and also suggest that the light was going more to the right then left. Also, the cheek and hair of the side closest to Obama is crudely cut out and is obviously unnatural. Another thing is that the hat and you have different light properties, making the hat stand out as much more colorful. Speaking of the lighting of your picture, you and your surroundings don't match up in the properties of light much like you and your hat. Also, the lighting from the light fixture over your shoulder would probably put a very soft orangish/yellowish glow on the shoulder, which obviously isn't there. Secondly, I am offended with your obvious innuendo represented by the quite blatant placement of the microphone over your "crotchal" area. This is obviously a plain out crack at the Mexicans, which as a Hispanic myself take some offense to this. Also, for my third and most powerful point, you keep messing up the inequality signs. Each sign you list as >, when it is obviously <. I don't require an immediate fixing of this problem, but I am still quite outraged at all the horrid content of the post. Also, McCain > Obama.

Well...I was going to say something clever and degrading...but I don't think I could possibly beat Joey's comment.
