OK people. It's time to see some green.
I have 50 bucks grand prize for the best photoshop conversion of any of the photos involved in that ad.
Captions are also eligible for a $10 prize if they are sufficiently high quality.
Let 'em fly.
Another $50 to any hackers out there who can post the winners on Felix's website.
Bring it on.
edited to respell eligible for the sake of Rhonda Lea Kirk who refuses to sleep with me when I mispell anything.
edited a second time to spell Rhonda Lea's name correctly which resulted in teeth marks in my penis right up to the second mile marker.
Edited a third time to correct the spelling of misspell (which I have left deliberately for spite). A retaliation could result in a Lame Harpy for Ms Kirk.

Caption should read: |

A seemingly unexpected turn of events, combined with a translational misunderstanding,
left RedBull no alternative but to 'Let Mr Baumgartner go'.

You forgot the little dot that follows "Ms."
Dumbass.

Edited to add: Given your response below, in the event you make good on your Lame Harpy threat, you, not I, will be paying the drycleaner for the drapes. <snicker>
There's a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore looking like an idiot.

It's called a period...which, incidentally, is what you sound like you're on.
Re: [Skinflicka] Interesting Ebay Item.
Wow, check out the bid history: http://offer.ebay.co....s&item=5213400917
There was just a MAJOR increase!!!
Re: [gweeks] Interesting Ebay Item.
Mwaaaahaaaahaaa!! Nice one bruva!
Hope its one hell of a tandem for 5 million euro!!!
Although if they put the usual Red Bull spin on it, it'll be touted as the most extreme thing anyone has even undertaken in the history of mankind, blah, blah, blah....
Re: [Skinflicka] Interesting Ebay Item.
Ok Abbie, let's see what you can do with this one in Photoshop. Tom you want to get the "Banned for two weeks" button ready?

I'm pretty sure there's a "Felix" exemption to site bans.
Re: Interesting Ebay Item.
Did the fact that ten percent of the proceeds are donated towards a children's cancer research group get lost to everybody in the translation? Yes, I would much rather see them give all hundred percent. Yes, the main reason for this stunt is probably publicity for Red Bull or whomever. Yes, Felix may have said some things that may have bothered you.
But what the hell, he has also done some pretty cool stuff, regardless of whether or not he was the first guy to do it, and regardless of whether or not he bragged that he was the first to do it. This guy just puts up a tandem jump on an auction-site of which ten percent goes to help a bunch of kids who feel a lot shittier having cancer than you will ever feel hearing Felix talking.
Give the guy a break, let him do his thing, and ignore the rest. I may be a post-whore, but I definitely have better things to do than talk shit about a guy who uses his passion to generate publicity and help some kids along the way.
Re: [JaapSuter] Interesting Ebay Item.
Just in case it was lost... I'll match the 10% to a cause agreed to by concensus by the posters on this thread.
Everyone's a winner.
Don't come to me with problems. Come to me with solutions.
PS I think 10% is pretty fucking lame...I'll match double that at the minimum.

Mmm, so true. Not just in this case, but in general I ought to be reminded of that more often. Thanks. And that's not meant sarcastically.
So here's a solution for ya; I'll chip in 25 bucks to the one with the best picture of the other end of the hose that Skinflicka is sucking on in his avatar.
I'll then send another 25 bucks to the same cause that Skin is sending his 10% to.
