Ok ok, its disgusting I know! I chose the Canadian metal band 3 Inches of Blood because the name had such potential in its imagery. Eventually I thought the tampon would be pretty shocking and unique for this website. I hope I didn't get too many 1's on the basis that its disgusting and possibly tasteless.

Just want to thank everyone who did find the humour in this! Unfortunately it wasn't enough for a good score, or a brown ribbon...just can't win!

I was first disturbed, but after understanding the title, I'm impressed! You would be on top in a running for Andres Serrano!!!

C Club here,

Not a lot I can say really about this photograph. It is in focus, dof is good, saturation is good, lighting is good. You got what you wanted with this shot by shocking people.

I like this shot a lot, especially for the shock value it presents. About the score, well I guess that was to be expected... after all dpc'ers are usually way too easily offended...
08/18/2009 09:39:27 PM
Totally robbed, but you expected that, didn't you? You achieved what you wanted with this shot. Just check out all the comments, especially that mine is the 5th one to come in shortly after the challenge. Very rare for something that places this close to the bottom. I would consider this entry a success.

Robbed... this was one of my favourite images in this challenge... dare to be different I say... though, speaking from experience, the wowsers here at DPC tend to not appreciate something that's different in a disturbing way.

Based on my voting on this challenge, you would have got an HM at the very least.

maybe next time haha - thanks for the support! :)
08/18/2009 08:12:15 PM
What amazes me is that it got a higher percentage of 1's than I ever recall seeing before, yet still avoided the brown :)
08/18/2009 08:07:20 PM

you get extra points for grossness
08/18/2009 02:47:40 AM
damn, you are disgusting...
08/17/2009 02:34:50 PM
Okay - thats gross but it does tell the story... I guess.
08/17/2009 09:30:15 AM
Yuk. Effective, but Yuk. I have to give you a good score for a well photographed entry that seriously pushes the envelope. Oh heck, the envelope is in shreds. Did I say Yuk yet?

(Why am I thinking this could be a Strikeslip entry?)
08/16/2009 10:27:41 PM
Oh man...you have big brass ones... I see a ton of outrage and 1's coming your way very soon. good luck. (not voting this challenge)
08/15/2009 09:16:04 AM

08/12/2009 10:18:20 PM
Ohhh..no...you....di'int! Can't wait to read the comments on this one. I'm torn as far as scoring. I think I'll pass on it for now...
08/12/2009 09:50:07 PM
Can't wait to see who took this shot.
08/12/2009 03:38:25 PM
I seen them live with hatebreed. Pretty good performance disgusting picture though. (not voting)
08/12/2009 05:44:31 AM
This won't do well simply based on the sensibiliites of the crowd here. I dig it a lot though.
08/12/2009 05:22:50 AM
Great Idea ! Nice picture
08/12/2009 05:17:25 AM
oh man Good luck. This one is just plain nasty. LoL :)
08/12/2009 03:57:20 AM
I appreciate shock value but....was this really what you wanted to say?
08/12/2009 02:36:52 AM
I don't know this band but I like (I think) the concept
08/12/2009 02:14:54 AM
3 inches? That would be a large tampon.
08/11/2009 08:24:23 PM
I'm thinking that might be totally gross......! Another very brave entry!
08/11/2009 08:13:59 PM
haha, I did a tampon shot, but I'm no where brave enough to do it this way XP
