Imperfect Execution

There are ideas that people have that are not quite fully formed.  They are the germs of good ideas, they just need to sit for a while untill they become perfect.  This is the reason I'm not currently engaged in the writing of a piece of longform narrative fiction.  Bad Love Poetry is coming along, but it's not the kind of narrative work that I've done in the past.  A similar thing can be said about a series of pictures recently posted on China's social networking leader, Weibo.

A guy photoshopping himself into childhood pictures of girlfriend isn't an entirely bad idea.  It is an idea that need a little bit of tweeking.  What is that tweek?  If you are going to photoshop yourself into childhood pictures of your girlfriend, use childhood pictures of yourself when you are doing it.  Doing that would have made those pictures sentimental, significant, and not the source of internet ridicule.  Of course if this guy had done that his photoshop work wouldn't be getting the amount of attention it's getting, but in some ways that's good.
