Want in on this?

You'll have another chance. This week's Photoshop contest theme is:

Rejected ideas for Grand Theft Auto IV.

It takes years to make a game like this, and we're pretty sure a lot of very bad ideas get tossed around during development. So you'll be photoshopping any imaginable thing that would have been judged too retarded to include in the game--crimes, weapons, characters cities, whatever. Let your imagination run wild.

Post your entries in the forums.

If you'd like to see the other entries from this week that didn't make it, you can find them here. Then enjoy the winners from last week's photoshop contest that showed you The 30 Most Ill Conceived Movie Monsters.

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