A Design Studio Held An Excellent Photoshop Battle Of Tony Abbott And Vladimir Putin Shirtfronting Each Other

Last week Tony Abbott threatened to “shirtfront” Vladimir Putin at the upcoming G20 summit in Brisbane because when you really strip it back to basics, politics really is just middle-aged men measuring their dicks.

Fucken’. Fucken’ start me.”

But some good has managed to come out of the leaders of two G20 nations threatening to meet each other behind the bike sheds; Australian custom design studio DesignCrowd started a Photoshop design contest to see who could come up with the best poster selling the Putin-Abbott fight, and some of the results are glorious.

The less traditional interpretations are pretty spectacular as well:
