Ah — the Internet, home to such amateur media genius/tinkerers as David Firth and Joel Veitch.
…and “Jazzuo” — author of the completely inexplicable game Sexy Hiking.
Details on the creator are sketchy at best and his website seems to have gone entirely defunct, but according to his listing at Portal of Evil, he’s some homebrew game designer living in Poland.
The game itself is pure, unadulterated madness.

This reminds me a little of that old nerd parlor game where you take a famous speech and use Word’s Autosummarize feature to generate these awesomely surreal fifty word 0r less summaries — perhaps the most entertaining example of which is the Bill of Rights.
Other awesome ones include The Ten Commandments and Beowulf.
Art from business applications = pretty awesome.

More Dork and the Ivy today, pretty even day of fighting. Hwang +1, Chen +1.
It’s getting prohibitively long — so we might be moving the ongoing competition to its own separate blog. Stay tuned kiddies.
