Ok people .... seems like I have made a wee bit of a mistake with the topic I have chosen. Sorry. If there's a next time I will try to be darker and more abstract. When I considered the topics for September, I had these in mind: "Humour" (as chosen), "Fading Beauty" or "Utter Joy".
The last one was disqualified from the start as it was too close to the topic of two months ago, "What makes me happy". Fading Beauty was a strong contender for a while but then I remembered my appreciation of British humour and thought, well, as this is mostly a British site, I will give you guys something to get your famously funny teeth into. ( Oh god, now I am in trouble with all of the rest of the English speaking world,
).
Any case, nothing wrong with a good laugh, is there?
Also, in response to Big Eejit, I disagree mate.
Art does not prefer to be angsty nor dark -
we prefer art to be dark and angsty .... thereby loosing sight of the fact that what has inspired man through the ages has been originality and freshness. Just look at the stuff Japanese001 is doing elsewhere on this site. Not funny, but definitely fresh, and therefore Art (I think).
Let's give art a break from these chains we have put it into. Give the poor, sad sod something to smile about.
There's been a lot of talk about clichés on here as of recent. This is the chance to get up and do something that is not cliché, for once. Thus, with 5 days left, let's not make this a month in which someone is going to win by default because there were not enough entries ... just because we could not see beyond the clichés.
To summarise: This is one you are gonna have to work for, thus get off your asses and go find something that is funny.
