The pepper/rainclouds one is not very funny at all, but the rest is gold. Withholding a 5 for that would be like giving Mario Galaxy a 9.

But in any case, don't pretend that this is lowering the standards as far as originality goes. Maybe it's not up to the standard you WANT to create, but that's different. And if that is the case, then your standards are extremely unrealistic for this site. I think this meets any reasonable standard for adding content not found in the original work, unless you are asking every single person to draw their own art and compose their own music. If you don't like it then maybe you should build your own website.

This YTMND took a webcomic, turned it into a slideshow with decent cropping and good timing, and set it to well-chosen music. So: 5. OmniIcyshelf makes taking things too seriously into a goddamned art form. Seriously, YTMND was born from a goofy soundbite of a movie. It had a picture of Sean Connery because Internet pages are supposed to have graphical representation. Maybe you can turn YTMND into some sort of paradise for original, intelligent, creative Internet art; I really, really, really doubt it.

Boondoggle: "a wasteful or impractical project or activity often involving graft" While the concept itself was solid, and certainly I'm not aware of graft or suchlike associated with the project, the fact remains that it was a huge money sink, the materials used were suboptimal to say the least, and -- most damningly -- airplane engines at the time were simply not up to the task of propelling such a gigantic plane through the air for any practical endeavor.

Yes, goose. Did you read the description?
