OK Finally I have few minutes...
Gran started this thread about this active anon contest entry:
http://photoshopcontest.com/view-entry/165788/squealseeker.html
Here's the external he was talking about (again... didn't find the exact external):

He started this thread because we can't post comments on active anon entry pages, and he made it because he thought it was unfair.
And I figure that maybe he also made it because he was suspecting Wiz to be the author (the capitals letters title and plain drop shadow around image)... probably influenced by the fact that Wiz showed a worst example of "thing you don't have to do" just at the previous contest:

External:

About the pig, I think it was not too obvious.
It is not an "other peoples manipulation work" but a sculpture made by Jan Kadlec. This sculpture, by its originality, can resemble for the viewers to a photo manipulation.
It was something to consider and it was better to show the external not to confuse anybody.
About the Homer Simpson chop, showing the main external was NECESSARY.
His entry was leading the first day and it was not right.
I think I don't need to explain why... just read ScionShade comment I posted earlier...
