Google image search for "Archway", "Alley", "Mona Lisa", "Lantern", "Garbage Bags", "Printed Circuit Board". Screen cap of a star from YTMND, lots of time in Photoshop and inspiration from douchebags like you. There- is that a detailed enough explanation of my image sourcing for you?

"a 5 for effort's sake is just so wrong" That sums it up. Anyone can waste 20 hours making a nice animation loop and making it sync, if the idea sucks and it's not entertaining, it doesnt deserve a 5. No matter what how complex it is, it's probably gonna be worse than http://omgameteor.ytmnd.com anyway.

Does this symbolism have any relevance to effort and its context in ytmnd? Or is it more of a hodgepodge of evocative images with no real point stemming from their combination? It's aesthetically pleasing, but feels hollow.

Thanks for asking instead of blindly downvoting. I struggled to put it into a single image that makes sense, but it's my way of mourning the great sites that get shoved into a dusty corner (or dark alley, if you will) of YTMND by downvoters. The Mona Lisa looking out the window (the art) has her eyes cut out, yet still sees the one star. Weird, I know.

Dude do you think you're cool or something relpying to downvoters? It's a bad site. There's no point behind it. It's a f*cking streetlight with a 1 star hanging from it and cobwebs. Did it take time to make? Sure. IS IT FUNNY? No. DOES IT MAKE PEOPLE LAUGH? No. At the very least does it make people think or inform them of anything? NO! It's SH*T. Just like this guy said. It's a bad site, and people are going to think it's bad. Get over it, and get over yourself. Try making something funny.

"This user has no sites". Why don't you try making something -period- before you critique people actually making something. There's plenty of funny sites in my profile, I just felt like making one to comment on the dregs like you. (and yes, I'm extremely cool- thanks for noticing).

I have another name that I use to make sites so sh*tty jealous bastards like you don't go and downvote my sites cause yours suck. Cause thats what you were gonna do, view my sites, go "Try making something better than mine" and then click the 1 star on all of them. Face the facts, you suck, and no amount of 5 star fluffing up is gonna change that.

I mean the f*cking fact you care so much about your 1 stars that you harass people for having the opinion that your site sucks proves some kind of mental complex. You think everyone should vote a 5, or at least have a good reason for 1ing it, which you then prove is wrong. You're pathetic dude, have fun replying to this cause I ain't gonna read it.

So you admit that you're a loser with alt accounts? Great. You are everything that is wrong with YTMND. Check my vote spread on my *only* account and you'll find that I normally vote very highly, then enjoy feeling like an idiot for being utterly wrong about me. Who's pathetic now?
