An Open Letter
Brian O'Blivion is better than you. And nicer. Now THATS sad!
The following letter is hereby submitted to my dear friend, TheSniperZERO. It is presented on behalf of a cabal of Fark Photoshop elites, who both like and accept me.
Your work is pathetic, Andrew St. Clair.
Dear TheSniperZERO,
Since your glorious return to Fark on July 10th, in the year of our Flying Spaghetti Monster 2007, you have entered a total of nine contests. Nine. In almost two months! That's an entry every 6.66 days! Talk about spamming the threads! Another sentence with an explanation point!
Go back to Something Awful.
Mister ZERO, we all understand that you are brimming with humorous ideas for photoshop contest submissions. That was made clear to us by this hilarious picture. Please give some of us other photoshoppers a chance to weigh in! Man alive, it's like I scroll through any given contest, and every other entry is from TheSniperZERO. Slow down Sniper, you're going to strain your trackball hand.
Fark hates you. You'll get over it.
Of course technically, I don't consider two of your recent entries "new," since one is recycled SA garbage, while another is a retread of a bad concept. Both of them scored well, and since winning is everything it can be argued that nothing is wrong here. Nothing except the fact that you seem to be at a loss for fresh ideas. That, and the fact that you consider this atrocity to be vote-worthy. IMO that's inexcusable for a photoshopper of your experience. Bad on ya! That being said, this image is pretty good. Nice work, TSZ!
Your PS work is as humorous as your blog.
I want to close out the letter by stating that we miss you over here at the Clinic. Ever since Brian O'Blivion pointed out how hopelessly pathetic you appear during our flame wars, your vitriolic bile has been curiously absent from my comment section. You might as well come out and play, Critty Boy. It's not like you have much to lose. Besides, I have ways of making you talk, regardless of your actual participation.
We should hang out this weekend. Doing anything Saturday night?
Your Best Enemy,
The Photoshoptor Doctor
It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time!
Stay tuned for more close-minded open letters from the Doctor!

Howdy Doc,
First off, if you are going to call something 'garbage', at least have a good reason. ;)
Yeah, the one with the guy and the swords wasn't very good, I'll admit. Not much to say about it really.
I thought that the Harry Knowles leprechaun turned out exactly how I wanted it. At least it looks clean and things blend pretty well.
The Matrix Cereal... It's one of my favorites. Not sure what's wrong with it, though. Wanna clue me in?
And, as I said before, I never entered it in a contest previously. People have recycled stuff from Worth and used it at Fark, so it's not much of an argument.
The Farkitol wasn't really a recycle. The use of the term Farkitis, it's symptoms and the stock photo of the strange guy are the only parts I reused. From a Farkitis themed contest... 3 years ago. The original was a PSA regarding the Farkitis. This one was an an advertisement for Farkitol (a fake drug for a fake disease). Sure, I reused an image (the man in the middle). Not really a big deal. You act like I stole it or something. meh.
Anyway, your blog is getting better. Keep it up.

Ok, I see what you did there. You have blasted people for source reusal in the past, however. But that's a good one, so why not?

Yep looks fine. I'm just not laughing my ass off. You come off on your blog like everything should be laugh out loud funny. That one isn't. It contributed fine to the thread, but doesn't really have legs outside of the contest.
But it feels good to participate, right? That's kind of my point here.

Some have, but I've also seen others not enable voting on such cross-posted works.
The Matrix Cereal... It's one of my favorites. Not sure what's wrong with it, though. Wanna clue me in?
It's my favorite one of your recent submissions. Good joke construction and clean delivery.
The only prob I see is the "there is no spoon" text doesn't skew with the box angle. But everyone makes mistakes, right?
Also, for the record, that pic of Neo is a resident of the much lambasted Cliche City.
Anyway, your blog is getting better. Keep it up.
Thanks, back at you.
The Matrix Cereal... It's one of my favorites.
Oh, and regarding that, you may want to read this article. (It's not Rick, promise)
please BOb is a dick. Who really gives a shit what a wanker who would spew that garbage thinks?
elle made this 2 years ago at Mecha and recycled it in the zombie contest.
But it's not a big deal since it didn't win and because it's elle, right? If you are going tell sniper he shouldn't do it, then you have to say it about everyone. Even then, it's still not breaking the rules.

I don't have to do anything. But last time I checked "everyone" didn't run TFPSTC. Just TSZ.

What do you mean? Elle's not above a scolding. BAD ELLE! BAD!
Feel better now?
Even then, it's still not breaking the rules.
Lots of things considered to be "bad form" are not a violation of the rules.
Bill said: Who really gives a shit what a wanker who would spew that garbage thinks?
One person that I am certain of? TSZ. Beyond that I am unsure.
Also, "anonymous" your link's broken.
I was intrigued by your tales of elle-recyclage, "Anonymous." I did some digging and came up with a working link:
Zombie Contest circa 2005
There's am interesting comment at the bottom of the page:
Have no idea why TheSniperZERO thought over half of them deserved a "4" or less (5 of them a "1"). Oh well, I guess some people are just picky. Or something.
I've been wrong the whole time. The Critic doesn't just hate Fark. It's much, much bigger than that.
Some more interesting reading, from the vast reaches of the interwebs:

It should be noted that TSZ doesn't save all his criticism for Fark. Here's some
Worth1K criticism
I will remind you that calling someone's work LAME is not constructive. But how many Worth entries does the TheSniperZERO have under his belt? ZERO.
TSZ's Worth1000 profile
On a slight tangent, it has noted that TSZ's critiques are formed in the "Something Awful" style. Apparently, he thinks it's a good idea for Fark to degenerate into something like this:
recent SA thread
Holy shit! There aren't ten PSes in the whole thread... It's all people bitching about how the idea doesn't make sense, and the example pic is of poor quality.
But I guess some people like that stuff. That's why they have Something Awful. But if you turned Fark into Something Awful, that would be, well, awful.
Those Worth comments (from 3 years ago) are on the fucking money and are not at all hateful. No reasonable person would have a problem with those comments after looking at the images.
And, I've never entered a contest at Worth. Truth is, I haven't been inspired to and/or haven't gotten around to it.
The SA comments were fucking spot on. That's how we roll. (notice that the thread is closed since it was terrible) It's a shitty starter image and we jumped on him for it.
As far as my probation at SA goes, there were about 50 people that were banned or probated that day. I believe the reason was that we voted 1 on an admin thread and Lowtax laid down the hammer. Shit happens like that all the time over there. Nothing new.
Exactly. Kind of my point and why many prefer Fark.
That may be "how you roll" but many of us do not roll that way. I'm a peaceful man. If a Fark contest sucks, I just don't enter it. No problem.
I'm not even saying that the goons' criticism didn't make me LOL. They did. There truly is a place for that kind of thing. Something Awful. NOT Fark.
As for your probation, we both know I'm fucking with you there. I read through the whole thread. Lots and lots of stuff like that. Another reason I prefer Fark. But hell we've all had a few timeouts. I sure as hell have.
If you thought that SA style posts would be welcome on Fark, TSZ, why didn't you spew all your garbage out in the PSAEF?
Oh yeah, that's right. Because you would have had your ass banninated. So instead you went the cowardly little turd route and set up an anonymous blog where you could abuse people all you wanted to.
Right up to the point where you got found out that is. Now you're just some sad little fuck posting idiotic shit about BO'B, because when you've got nothing to say, then all you talk about is nothing.
What, do you think people like you for doing this? Do you think they admire you? Do you really think anyone believes you when you say that you're doing all of this for the good of Fark PS contests, and not because you're just another useless fucking prick with a computer?
People are laughing at you, and with good reason. Every time you post on your pointless little hate blog, you open yourself up to more ridicule. And what, you think people are going to come swarming back now that you've reopened comments on that thing? Because you've got such a great track record on that front haven't you?
You're a worthless little piece of shit TSZ. Why don't you fuck off back to your mom's basement and play with your sockpuppet friends.
god anonymous. grow a set of nuts you fucking coward.
meh meh meh, but I won't sign my name.
fucking pussy. take of momma party dress
Sock puppetting again are we TSZ? Well there ya go, I've put a name to my post. Does that make it more meaningful for you?
Wait, I get it! Criticism is invalid if it's anonymous is it? Oh irony, thy name is TheSniperZERO!
no asshat. I am myself, me,
Olapbill. you are still a pussy.
I don't know TSZ. Olapbill's a pretty smart guy. I'm sure that he'd be able to spot the irony of complaining about anonymous posters in the comments section of someone else's anonymous blog.
See, the thing is TSZ, you're just not very bright.
hmm. perhaps you should drop Olapbill an email to clear up any confusion there, sport.
i'm pretty sure I'll still call you a pussy to whatever bogus email addy you use.
And yeah, the docs a pussy too . But the nice little brazilian softens the blow a bit.
And yeah, the docs a pussy too .
Don't forget, I also have sand in myself.
not too much sand though... the racing stripe o pubes acts like a HEPA filter....
I'm hypo-allergenic.
You're a worthless little piece of shit TSZ. Why don't you fuck off back to your mom's basement and play with your sockpuppet friends.
I almost forgot. I agree with everything you said. Sorry i got distracted and let Bill troll you. I'm not sure why he's so hung up on identities. Who cares who any of us are? I certainly don't. I already know who the Critic is, and that's enough for me.
