pencils ready, kids!

18 08 2005

I visit a handful of message boards, and came across a thread on one yesterday that I found to be highly amusing. The premise behind it was for people to use MS Paint (the crappy drawing program that’s on every Windows computer) to make pictures based on the subject line of spam emails. Much hilarity ensued. It turns out there is already a website devoted to this very same thing, Spamusement.com.

I thought it might be fun for my readers to do this same thing. Here’s a tutorial on MS Paint if you need it. Please make sure you save your images as .GIF or .JPG files, as the default .BMP format the program uses makes the file sizes ridiculously large. You can host your images here, and just paste the URLs into your comment. Or you can email me your submission and I’ll host the file for you. I want to see some participation, people. I’m tired of giving and giving and giving and never getting anything in return.

This was my submission. And yes, that was an actual subject in a spam email I received once.

Man this is hard, I suck at drawing. My first idea was to do the one about the ‘therapy may lessen chance of suicide’ just because it was like, no shit, but then I ended up with a cross dresser and a therapist laughing at it and thought perhaps it was too far out there. My spam isn’t very good, gmail blocks out everything. I just wanted you to know I appreciate your givingness, and I am trying. Plus it’s superhard to draw anything nice, so I might end up with stick people; sorry in advance

The crappier the artwork, the better.
