Flying Imams Terrorize Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport

OK Gavin M., I’ll take up your photoshop duel challenge–if you mess with one of my street ‘ho’s, you mess with me.
Your challenge is to come up with a funnier take on the “flying imams” story than the one above. After you fail, you get to pick the next topic, create a photoshop, and I will try to best you, and so on and so forth. Choose a particular picture, a phrase, a theme, a person–I don’t care. Let’s see what you’ve got . . .
UPDATE: Although Gavin M. came back with a worthy response, I still feel compelled to declare victory.
Also, constructive criticizers, if you think I’m going to spend the time required to put together Worth 1000 level submissions, you need to put down the crackpipe/Jesus juice (depending on your political persuasion). I’m not on public assistance, in college , a graphic artist, or single–all prerequisites for that level of dedication.

  1. A quick critique of your Photoshop skills: You should have used a picture of the Flying Nun where she wasn’t smiling so much. Also, the Flying Imams look pretty peaceful and benign. It looks as though Sally Field has converted the infidels (or vise versa–either way it’s a party). Your collage is another example of how rightwingers understand parody but fail to get satire.
    If you need a humor coach, I’m in the book under both “Nazi, Grammar” and “Phallus, Almighty (intelligentsia)”

  2. I’m not sure why these imams you’ve put together should be funny. A visualization of a headline? Sally Field is cute, but one imam’s drawn and the other’s a photo, which causes a bit of discontinuity. And if they were terrorizing anything you’d figure the nun would be smoking and heading downwards, but she’s cheerfully leading them on, as sexy nuns often do.

  3. Oh, I think you may have missed the point. Funny is crucial, but that’s subjective. I do believe you all were being called out on the technical acumen you’re claiming isn’t important.
    I dunno, I think it’s a unified assault, with the proposition being that the wingnuts are both unfunny and bad at photoshop. Correspondingly the winning entry will be slick and funny.

  4. Seriously, FrankJ: It’s awesome of you that you’re willing to play this game, but the technical acumen thing was a cop-out.
    It would be like putting on a horse race and saying no points will be awarded for finishing first. Then handing the trophy to the jockey with the prettiest silks or the horse with the longest mane.
    I propose that the most important criteria of a photoshop contest should be:
    Will it fool Confederate Yankee? After all, nothing gets by him.
    Oh, and if Sadly,No wins- you have to give them back their preview button.
    Does that ad girl really have an automatic weapon tucked in her panties??
    Ah yes. Nothing annoys liberals more than accidentally shooting yourself in the thigh.

  5. Aerodynamically speaking, the flying nun would fly more efficiently if her veil were reversed. It is currently in an aerobraking configuration which, combined with the drag of her dangling rosary, is not helping her to escape the limp-wristed imam perverts that are following her. The winglets do afford some degree of pitch control, but frankly, a smooth-domed Carmelite habit with a pointed scapular would afford greater mobility with significantly less wind resistance. Also, the brown color will help her blend in with foliage when viewed from above.
