I have one GOG copy of the quite excellent <span class="bold">Shogo: Mobile Armor Division</span> for you to win. Played this back when and it's a classic, unique Anime-style FPS I wholly recommend. A game that deserves more attention, let me thus place giant Mechs into your cross hairs via this giveaway.

To enter:

1) Grab the attached template.jpg

2) Insert your own newspaper headline
(look at example.jpg and original.jpg how this could look; you are totally free in choosing your text/subject)

3) Post in this thread and attach your finished image

You can be in for someone else, but only if you create a headline image yourself.

Winners will be drawn on Sunday from all headline submissions (random.org). Won't be judging art ;)

Have fun and good luck everyone! :)

Btw, the result doesn't have to be perfect to qualify. If you don't have Photoshop, the free is a great image manipulation software (this is what I'm using). There is also the free and easy-to-use online tool [url=http://ipiccy.com/]iPiccy, which I tried just for this and works fine. No excuses now for not taking part ;)

If you can't figure out how to get your desired headline, check this step-by-step tutorial.
In case you'd have questions afterwards still, just say so and I'll be happy to talk you through the process.
We'll make it work!

I can't seem to get the photo editing software to work properly, so I can't enter, but +1 to you for creating this giveaway!

What do you want it to say?

Thank you very much for your help! +1

I would like it to say: "W. Kamau Bell Show Cancelled" with the sub-headline "FXX Network Apparently Run by Idiots"

In case you are wondering what I am talking about, W. Kamau Bell is a comedian who had a funny show on the TV network FXX until they cancelled it. It happened a couple months ago, and I am still pissed off! :)

Sorry about the smallness of the sub-headline, it was a bit hard to cram all that in.

Wow, it is hilarious to me to actually see those headlines about W. Kamau Bell on a newspaper! Thanks again for your help!

I hope this doesn't piss off anyone.

Thanks for the GA and +1
as usual i am far to lazy for anything more than posting that:
I am not in

Hope it is good enough as all i had was paint. :p
It is with this in mind. http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/justin-bieber-protest-atlanta-neighborhood-prank-article-1.1700902

That made me laughing loud xD

(try the program paint.net, there you've more options. although it's sometimes a pain i.t.a. to work with :/)

I bookmarked this thread. Thank you for the funny giveaway, chevkoch! +1

Not in! Good luck to the participants.

Thanks for the neat entries so far, guys!
And I must say: great move by Austrobogulator for helping out aJillSandwich.

If someone has trouble getting their headline right, let me know and I'll give you pointers on how to make it happen in iPiccy. Just ask!
I've also added this to the GA text in the OP now.

count me in for:
<span class="bold">Shogo: Mobile Armor Division</span>

sorry the text was so small i was trying to fit a quoteable quote ^_^
and the flames are pretty abysmal >_< -20 exp to my art skillz

Thanks for your generosity, chevkoch! Please, count me in.

Sorry, I had to use Paint (no Internet access at home and offline at weekends, so I was in a hurry). ;)

The headline is inspired in the trend of last years, where taxes and prices are raised again and again "to approach to Europe levels" (the Spanish Government conveniently forget to mention how many cases we've got far higher levels), while the wages (which never were even close to European standards, for starters) are frozen or decreased... :(

I have more quality time right now than I had two days ago, so I wanna (finally) respond more adequately to you guys ;) Thanks for this, I went on YouTube and watched a couple of episodes of "Totally Biased". He seems like a cool, laid-back guy with a hand for picking interesting guests. Maria Bamford is always great to watch, the one with Kathleen Hanna would be my favorite so far. Bell seems to make his guests comfortable too, everyone seems at ease really. These are usually the shows that should succeed. I can see why you're missing it. Again, awesome you helped out. +1 Well, cracked me up :) Right, the Steam hate seems to have been subdued by GOG's recent decisions. Good observation, I hadn't noticed that aspect. Funny, isn't it? Consider this mind-blowing notion: be too lazy to not be in ;) Anyway, thanks, I know people got things to do, more important ones usually... Haha, doesn't surprise me people would join/believe in a protest against having Bieber as their neighbour. They needed some pitchforks though, good you amended that ;)

Thanks! :)

That quote of TheEnigmarketer, well, ideal fodder for a caricature, isn't it? ;) Well done. Dig the flames; I'd call it a bonus that they look like bloody flames to me o.O

Most rightful riot cartoon indeed. It's a shame what's been happening with that focus on austerity measures. Before the crisis began, a few manipulated the system to get even more filthy rich above their already filthy-rich status, and subsequently everyone else had to foot the bill for it. Still trying to deal with my angry disbelief regarding that situation too.

Really, well done all entries so far (lots of funny and witty headlines; I'm glad I decided to go with a drawing — would be tough to pick a "best" one).

And once more: no problem at all if your image is not technically perfect, it's the idea that counts above all :)

For those that haven't participated yet, get your headline in! ;)
