If serious... it's rather sad.

You keep saying that and one day you will see commercials for a new kids cartoon- Attack of the Massive Hamster, and you might not be laughing anymore. ;-)

I wouldn't be laughing. I'd be crying over the continual slide of the intelligence level of the human race.

Frankly, you're making fun of photography with crap like this.

The administration has not yet added fun to the list of banned topics.

Be aware though that, like most "banned" photography subjects on the site any such ban would only be a restriction and that the subscribers section and NSFW gallery would still allow them.

That is unless we put fun next to porn in the totally banned section, but that requires more paperwork.


But suffice it to say we are not adding fun to the list - I mean at least unless you guys really want us to.

How long do hamsters live?

2 human years if i'm not mistaken.

Yes. Hamsters live around 2 years. A 3 year old hamster is ancient, and a rarity.

EDIT: Just went and looked it up. "Average" is 2-3 years. I wonder if that's when taken care of by an adult, rather than a kid who never cleans their cage and forgets to change his water.

Funny, there are people here that like this one...or something. I hate it, its pointless, illogical and foolish imo. Frankly, you're making fun of photography with crap like this.

Don't worry! You'll only have to put up with this "crap" for 2-3 years. ;-) unless hamsters exposed to too much radiation live longer than garden variety hamsters.

This is not photography. Plain and simple.

it is most certainly photography, whether you like it or not.
if you don't like hamlets work, simply don't click on his posts. its really that easy.
and yet, your still on this thread.
continued attacks on hamlet and his work will force action by the moderation team.
this is the second time i have had to mention it concerning you and this thread so....third time will definitely not be the charm.

 

[JustJazzie]

This is not photography. Plain and simple.

Photography: noun: The art OR PRACTICE of taking and processing photographs.
Photograph:noun: a picture taken with a camera.

Yup, Webster says this IS INDEED photography.

 

[manaheim]

I completely agree with my fellow mods... however this really should be in the "Just for Fun" forum. That would basically solve the whole thing. Folks do tend to expect anything posted her is intended to be taken seriously.

I, therefore, shall move it.

dvjproductions... you're really skirting the edges of unnecessary hostility. I'd advise you to just stop reading this thread if it bothers you so much.

You don't want that! Those hamsters will eat your whole town.

 

[manaheim]

Yes, it was originally posted in the General gallery.
I made a judgment call and moved it here, as it seems unlikely this was assembled with serious intent.

 

[hamlet]

I did put some thought into making it. It had to look exactly like one of those old low budget movies, with the monster that is not clearly in focus . Now i did not find the exact filter to give it that Video tape look but it came out pretty good in the end and i'm glad it brought up some discussion.

 

[snerd]

Poof for forum moderator!!!!

 

[astroNikon]

Everyone seems to forget those documentaries that have been around since the 1960s and made into movies
I forgot the name right now ....

.. . . . oh yeah, Godzilla

So keep that in mind next time you see a hamster invading a city near you.


They just had a recent remake too !!

 

[hamlet]

Ow yeah, now with double the budget we could afford cinematic graphics. The judge said we couldn't keep feeding it real people, that's government bureaucracy for you!
