Children are stupid. We know it's not their fault, but it doesn't stop us from laughing at them. Over the past month, these adorable little idiots have been inundated with the same election coverage as you: the important issues, the less important stuff we actually pay attention to.

We asked you to fire up MS Paint to show us the most important stories as they might draw them. The winner gets $50. But first the runners up.

Congrats, Quagmar. You win money.


Want in on this?

You'll have another chance, and this week you can win twice as much money. Your theme is:

The Worst Porno Idea Ever.

Pretty simple. Keep it work safe, so be sure to censor those boobies. Oh, and Kevin Smith's new movie Zack and Miri Make a Porno is co-sponsoring, so the best entry gets $100 this time around. We told them our readers wouldn't need any extra motivation once they saw the word porno, but there you go. Also, keep in mind that once Kevin Smith sees what you can do with a pirated copy of Adobe and a dick joke, you guys will almost definitely become best friends.

Post your entries in the forum.

If you'd like to see the entries from this week that didn't make it, see them here. Or check out 25 Historical Events (As Depicted by 5 Year Olds). And for pictures too strange to make up, but not too strange to make fun of, check out The Daily Craption Contest.

Got an idea for a future Cracked photoshop contest? Let us know.



LOL. I loved number 10... But art's a little too good for a 5 year old...

So after Obama won, I had a chat with my brother, ho's 3 years old, and I honestly think he would've won this contest by himself:

Me-"So Declan, we have a new president now."

Declan-"Spider-Man?"

Me-"No, goofball. Don't you know what the president is? He's the boss of the whole country. Where we live."

Declan-"We live on the Earth."

Me-"Yes, and our country's ON the Earth. The President is in charge of America."

Declan-"Like the black Power Ranger?"

Me-"No n- *pause* Yes, exactly like the black Power Ranger."

Declan-"I like the Power Rangers."

Me-"So do I, Declan. So do we all"...

OK, you guys. These cartoons did not come from kids. No way. So mean.

#9 should have been farther up on the list, if not #1.

#2 should have won

Considering that 5 year olds aren't nearly as articulate as most of these entries make it seem, and that, even then, there aren't enough 5 year olds who pay attention to politics to warrant a good joke about one misunderstanding the election, I would say this was a bad choice for a contest in the first place. The historical events thing was great because elementary school kids learn about history in bits and pieces, but not the specifics of an election.

Could you possibly be any whinier, Bobby Bobby? Actual five-year-olds are better sports than you.

I do agree with the general consensus that this one was a dud, though. #7 was the only one that made me laugh.

From a non-American point of view these all suck beyond belief.
So you´ve managed to sum up these elections of yours quite well really.

All entries rocked (4 and 9 caught my eye!), but I wish there were more. The candidates give so much ammo to work with.
