[NID] Wrap-up and MonsieurPrise Gold

Day 1,580, 14:42 • Published in Canada Canada • by Plugson

"It’s inevitable that the whirl-pool of electronic information movement will toss us all about like corks on a stormy sea, but if we keep our cool during the descent into the maelstrom, studying the process as it happens... we can get through."
~~McLuhan, Playboy, 1969 interview

Some might have noticed the [NID] tag in some articles the last couple days. As you may know, it was part of a cartoonish media contest that used to run each month on the 17th. We dusted it off and gave it a go again, during times that could use a little levity. Alternatively, articles could be a bit heavy due to the gravity of current situations, depending on how you draw it up and ride it out.


Here are the entries Marching to the beat of this month’s national day of insults:

~~ “[NID] (Repost) The Rise and Fall of the SEP€" by Muglack

~~ “[NID] Election Rage” by Homer J Simpson

~~ “[NID] Perspective from a Self Exiled Patriot” by Homer J Simpson

~~“[NID] Update from the Self-Exiled Patriots of Canada” by Homer J Simpson

~~“[NID]The Internet Has Spoken” by Ho J Simpson

~~“[NID] SEP€ Theme song” by chewytaz

~~“[NID]Give us tanks. We need more tanks.” by Max Major

And a few more, not in the competition, but supporting roles by the judges:

~~“[NID] eCanadian Quitters Club - Rattenfänger von Hameln edition” by Captain Kushskins

~~“[N7D] Beware the NIDs of March” by Plugson

~~“[NID] National Insult Day invades eMerica” by Gherk

There are two prize categories:
1) Best NID in Show: as chosen by our panel of judges and 1 surprise judge who inspired this St.Patty/Rattenfänger von NI😨 Gherk, Captain Kushskins, Plugson, and Rolo Tahmasee.

2nd Place - Muglack 1 vote “Rise and Fall of SEP€”
3rd Place - Homer 3 votes, cumulative for “Update from SEP€”

2) Counting 7s: a tricky call since definitions one what ‘is in a picture’ can be stretched to the level of hyperlinks, as well as associated images in the entry. Since there were several correct answers, we have prises for mutiple winners:

1st Place - Chochi, for getting the right numbers: 2 Gold
2nd Place - Katey Valentine, for taking it to the next level: 2 Gold
