Photoshoping for perspective

Ha ha.

http://www.wonderfullondonsounds.co.uk/WLS%20Ship.htm

Ok, if you are going to use Photoshop to place 'WLS' onto the side of a picture of a ship, then at least deal with the perspective so that the lettering is rotated properly to the correct orientation (I think it's one of the 'transform' options or something).

Nobody would in real life write letters onto the side of a ship skewed to be seen properly from 20% to the right – well, unless they were cleverly writing stuff onto a playing field that then 'appears' to 'stand up' for the cameras.

Oh, and some trying to blend the letters into the same 'age' and pixelation as the red paint might help too.

Anyway, why is there always this constant barrage of wind-up pretend radio stations 'coming'? At least my picture a year and a half ago of the ship-borne CFA was far more convincing and those with a sense of humour even cracked a smile. Oh look, there it is:

The date of the picture is quite funny too:-)

Ah, now is that the 8th December or 12th July that Doctor Who got it from?

(Wasn't this week's Doctor Who pants – really disappointed I was)

Blast!!!! Damn it.... just as I was breaking records on the orgasmic scale then you and Steve caused me to become flacid again. Are you telling me that WLS isn't real?!

Where and how do you find these gems? Who the f**k has got so much time on their hands to try and fool us anoraks? Why? Why I ask myself. There I was all excited and convinced the offshore era just might be coming back.

I finally put my foot through the TV when I heard about WLS but you've just deflated my excitment! Thanks guys, next you'll be telling me my dancing Iggle Piggle is not real and just some character made up by someone on drugs at the BBC.

 This statement makes me dribble at my end bit too "Copyright: Wonderful London Sounds Media. All Rights Rerserved" - so if i copied it, made up a web site called 'Wonderful Londis Sounds' and displayed that very picture in front of a Londis supermarket with the ship displaying WLS as is on the very picture in question, some dick head is going to challenge me and take me to court? The 'Spoon' who come up with that is actually going to go public and take me to court?

It's enough to make your rectum implode with laughter

So maybe I should let the Viagra spam go through?

Don't you be worrying about that, son, there's something that I know that you don't know. I don't think it would be right at this stage to even hint at any part of the project which is known as 'the project'. However, trust me, it won't be long before there's a ship at sea. Yes, I can promise you that there will definitely be a ship in the North Sea. Remember you heard me not say anything about it here first.

 Theres always a friggin ship in the North Sea, the likeliness of a radio ship is akin to space ship from zog broadcasting in zogabic via a minuet in East Ham.

Problem here is that the two episodes before were so good it was always going to be a bit of a let down. I think they have to make the odd episode that tests the full acting abilty of David Tennant just to keep him on board, unfortuantly that tends to upset Dr Who fans,
