The Papa Burch photoshop extravaganza.
Anthony Burch | 11:49 AM on 05.17.2009 48 comments




My dad's birthday is on June 13th, and I wanted to give him an interesting present other than a Blu-Ray of "Taken."

Yesterday, I forced him to stand in front of a green screen making certain poses, ignoring his frequent requests to know why I was making him flip off a digital camera. On June 13th he will, hopefully, get the picture.

I posit the following to you, Destructoid community. If you so desire -- and we can turn it into a contest if you like, with a prize consisting of a few games I no longer want like Yakuza and NiGHTs Wii or something -- take these attached pictures of my dad, and shoop them into something. It doesn't really matter what. It can be funny, or badass, or disturbing, or whatever you like. He can be riding a chicken, or punching out the moon. I leave it to your discretion.

On June 13th, I'll announce the winners. The number of winners will vary depending on how many games I want to get rid of, but the first place winner will get first pick of one of the game's I'm offering, the second place winner will get to pick one from the remaining lot, and so on and so forth.

I'll probably make a reminder post in a couple of weeks. Any questions? Comments? Shoops of my dad kicking Hitler in the junk?

Here are all the pictures I took. Or you can take them from the attached images below.

If only I had photoshop on this computer. I've several ideas on the worst possible places to put him.

If someone else want's to recreate that classic Fonz WTC image for me, that'd be hilarious. For some reason my mind wen't straight to that image.

Then I had the thought of real life execution footage or images, and let's not even go where the cigar could turn into.

If that pun was intentional I hope you choke.

Probably not the shoop you were looking for but I couldn't think of anything else.

Large version can be found here.

I would have changed Adolf's expression, but his idiot smile seems to actually make this picture funnier. Done in about half an hour in Photoshop CS3. Click the thumbnail for full size.

Awesome Gibbo. Maybe you could do the same thing with the Blu-Ray cover art. Then Ant could slip in front of the case.

Cypher the one with the coin is amazing! Good job.

And this contest is amazing! I would love to participate but I do not have photoshop on my computer. I have yet to get around and grab a copy of it. Legal copy of course. Anthony those pics of your dad are hilarious. On another note, I also liked Taken.

Hm... your dad and my brother share birthdays. I always find it strange when people share birthdays. It makes sense but its just weird for some reason.

I'll get on this asap though... or at least once I recover from the destination wedding I was just at.

Man, I didn't realize that there was a minimum width for the comments, I guess no one else did either!
