Proseline 200mg

Description

If you've ever been to Encyclopedia Dramatica, you've probably found a lot of articles that are really badly written. They're basically organised based on what's funniest at some time, not in any kind of historical order. Nobody ever tries to mention when things happened, just that some epic lulz did indeed take place. Yeah, it's probably funny, but it makes it really hard to put things in any kind of a timeline and in general makes things hard to read.

On the other hand, if you've ever been to Wikipedia, you'll probably find that a lot of currently hot articles have "History" section with a shitton of paragraphs that begin with "In [date], blah blah blah..." Wikipedia calls this proseline. It's generally considered just a temporary fix that should be turned into some sort of coherent prose, but it's still a lot better than putting things wherever they're funniest. I like historical context.

And when it's early in the morning, "proseline" sounds like "vaseline" and you start thinking, "hey, what if Proseline® was some sort of a drug that cures incoherent text masses..."

Done in Blender, mostly using procedural textures apart of the label. Label and logo done in Inkscape (helmet comes from OpenClipArt.) Postprocessing (mostly just the Mandatory Bloom Script Run™) and text addition in GIMP. Fonts are Prociono and... um, some font I just had laying around for some reason, I forgot its name because this was finished at 2 o'clock in the morning or something.

Haha, clever. I like the idea, and I think Wikipedia will too.
