Some of the later ones are pretty funny. Hope. Mope. Grope. Pope. Soap. That kind of thing.

I hope that none of my facebook friends find this, so that I have the coolest profile picture around.

But, for some reason, it keeps reporting some sort of error when I try to register.

You're not allowed to have a Metafilter account AND a Facebook account. Busted.

It works for me, I don't even need to register... seems pretty neat!

Won't work for me.

You need to register to save and submit. And it is fucked.

You can also grab a screenshot to save it.

I guess you could rock your Lomo/pin-holeposter with HDR mix it up with warholizer, tilt-shift that sumbitch, run it through poladroid, slap some bacon on it and get greenlit on The Fark.

Doesn't work for me either--I thought I could save the picture and use elsewhere but it won't let me save it or register.

poladroid, even.

I don't like that it won't let me just save it.

Instead of using Gotham, it uses Arial Black, one of the world's ugliest typefaces. No thanks.

Cool. I used a screenshot to save mine, with no problem at all.

I made this one idle evening in November, but it's really only funny for people familiar with Dutch politics.
