I took Sun Tzu's challenge and decided to do my own Slashdot Parody (for the record, I thought HashSnot was pretty amusing -- especially the concept of the Amish having web sites -- but I can't resist challenges like this.
It would be one thing if there was some trace of wit behind the jokes, but all the guy did was take a static page and change the words and pictures. I don't mind bathroom humor, as long as there is real wit behind it ("hehehe, he said 'Penis'" won't cut it). Any idiot with a text and graphics editor and some spare time could make something at least that good.
If you are making a parody, there should be some satire type humor there, like the onion or the simpsons, that truely pokes fun at the thing it is a parody of. This didn't really poke fun at slashdot at all - now if there was something about the hopeless obsession of us nerds reloading 5-10 times a day (guilty as charged) that would be different.
Just my $0.000002

I don't know about a contest, but take a look at Apostrophecolon
The result is Apostrophecolon . Hope you enjoy it.
After you view that, take a look at my comic strip on the rest of the Ubersoft.net website.
