Core77 is hosting a Play-Doh sneaker design contest. The rules are pretty simple, create a replica of any existing shoe or sneaker of your choice made entirely out of play-doh within one hour. The original submission deadline was Aug 25th, but was extended by a month (Sept. 25th 9pm PST). Entries will be judged by Woody (Sneaker Freaker) and Sarah Kueng & Lovis Caputo (Kueng Caputo). Visit the Play-Doh Kicks! submission thread for further details and prize info and a look at current contest entries.
My favorite entries so far:

Next time you decide to evaluate someone’s cruelness on a scale of 1:10, instead, refer to Prof. Michael Stone’s Scale of Evil on a scale of 1:22. Charles Manson? Ha! – that guy’s only a 15..

Issei Sagawa
Born in Japan, Issei Sagawa was pampered by his mother, but became highly irritable and prone to tantrums. In high school, he developed cannibalistic fantasies, and in 1981 he was accused of carrying one out in Paris. His victim: a Dutch student named Renee Hartevelt. He lured her to his apartment, shot her to death, sexually assaulted the body and then began eating her muscle tissue. He was declared legally insane in France and sent back to Japan, where he was released from a mental institution in 1986. He’s now a minor celebrity and has written books and magazine articles about his experience.
