nice photos but... they are iconic, based on relatively simple, clear ideas juxtapositioned

so... they have neither nor the detail nor the difficulty of expression to require a thousand words

(i was surprised to see that) not a single one of those photos require a 1000 words to describe

the website misses the point of the phrase: "a picture is worth a thousand words"

And I think you've missed the point of the website- here's two words for you poindexter:

"Funny photos"

Hullo? Did you browse around before writing that pithy statement?

I'm game.

If those aren't worth 1000, then let's see the money shots.

Sorry, but I don't see the 1,000 words either. Mundane is worth a 1,000 words? That's about 4 pages. You'd have to stretch with most of them, no?

Give it a shot: 1,000 profound words on those photos.

Maybe I could agree if you two said 'this particular contest' rather than 'the website'.
But you didn't.
And the exact meaning of the expression "worth a thousand words" is open to interpretation.

I'll continue to enjoy worth1000.com despite what any nit-picking boneheads might have to say about the choice of name for the site or the quality of one particular contest.

Love the zombie celebs on this one. Well, most of them. David Bowie is still hot undead.
