John Leslie.

A long time ago I used to go on the Newgrounds forums.

In all his glory...

I don’t now as they are as retarded if not more retarded than the Sherdog forums. I guess that’s just human nature. You put a large amount of humans into one area it’s more than likely there collective conscience will breed dickhead or it might just be that idiots are attracted to the Internet.

Anyway, one day a few years ago I stumbled upon a thread where some dude named “Tekcos” had posted a picture of his friend, John Leslie pulling some strange-ass smile. I don’t know what he was trying to get out of the situation but within hours it was the subject of wild and distasteful photoshop jobs.

The thread most likely would have died out very quickly if it wasn’t for me and my friend keeping it alive with our own photoshops that constantly pushed the topic to the top of the most active list. It was good clean fun and no one got hurt, except for possibly Tekcos who reported that John had found out his head was getting photoshopped online and then beat him up outside of the Doom Movie.

So weeks went by and my friend and I made photoshop after photoshop until one day the topic disappeared from the face of the earth. All our work had been removed from the internet which was a slap in the face when things like “The Fart Button” and those “Say SOMETHING!” Smiley cunts still populate it.

I didn’t go quietly into the night and instead immortalised the forum topic in a flash movie  which next to no one saw. The graphics get a bit iffy in this one but the heart and message is there so I still feel it’s one of my best works. Looking back on this I realise how bad I was stuck on “tweening”. Basically the half arsed way of animating where you just select something to move from “point a” to “point b” and let the animation program do the work for you. Nowadays I am more confident in Frame by Framing but I still am susceptible to a shitty tween now and again.

Recently I decided to upload that file onto YouTube through the use of Flash’s shitty inbuilt AVI converter.

I may not be able to bring you flash files direct to this blog due to wordpress.com’s limp dick flash embedding qualities but I can bring you YouTube videos.

The video is after the jump.
