Then I had a funny idea that I will try to "stage" somehow during the weekend.
Also, I am not sure how many would have perceived the irony in "Command Line" (which costed me quite a bit of work, to shoot).
The risk of becoming another "Blackbear At Midnight" was high and I am afraid that, because a few would have found it real funny, I would have not collected not even the very satisfactory last place...
This challenge to me is hard..I have tried thinking of everything I can that seems ironic ...whewww ..my imagination seems to be sleeping or something. ha ha..I will just come up with something crazy and hope for the best I guess :)
As a unix geek, I think it is humorous, but don't find anything "ironic" about it.
Maybe if you had included the hostname (something like 'alqaedahq') in the shell prompt it might have had a little irony. But to me, that image would be better off in a "Humor" challenge. But that's just me.
So, do you always run your terminal with a 100-pt font?
Good question.
The technique I used was DPC legal of course even if I used Photoshop illegal features and that.. is really ironic. But I knew that it was impossible to be noticed and being appreciated because it worked too well..
It looks like a terminal but it is a black screen which I created in Photoshop enhancing the text in order to appear, once photographed, as a terminal.
As you will notice, the photoshop subject is pretty different and it is done considering what transformation would have undergone once photographed.

Funny enough, one of the reason why I removed this, it is because I did find it more ironic than humorous.
Yes, the challenge is about Irony but I bet that most of the people will confuse it with Humor..
Even whoever picked the challenge "Irony" contributed to confusing them giving to the challenge the following description:
"Get your sense of humor in order and show us a bit of irony"
Setting the expectation more on humor than on irony.
I am trying to understand why I got so low ratings in the past challenges and, this time, I am including even the misinterpretation factor.
