1. There is some fine photoshopping at that site
They generally don't go for other folks' work, unless it is clearly attributed, with NO VOTING. They have great pride in their products, and some of it is funny as hell.

3. Soitanly....if it met the topic guidelines!
They usually start out with a picture, and invite people to screw with it. Sometimes they freestyle on a topic. I enjoy the hell out of the creativity expressed by the Farkers, though I don't contribute at all. I just lurk and laugh!

4. What about just submitting it as a link? Do links have to be news
Edited on Sat Apr-23-05 10:03 AM by rosebud57
stories? While this site is obviously satire it is informative on both election fraud and campaign dirty tricks including suppression.

My hope is that it will reach the Daily Show demo, since we can hardly expect so-called slackers to read the 93 page Conyers report.

5. Usually they go for news, often goofy news
But I am admittedly no expert on what they will take or pass over....

6. So anyone can submit a link, but someone at fark decides
whether the link get posted? Right now we are trying to decide the best way to spread http://bushcheated04.com in a way that preserves its street cred. Getting some high traffic lefty blogs talking about it would help. Freeway blogging and graffiti could stir up some curiousity clicks.

I almost shudder at the bandwidth it would suck up if it did get on fark. We might need a paypal drive on DU to help pay for it as a DUer is hosting it.
