I want these
The contest was called "Poor Products". I disagree. I want both of these.

Anyone else see them? Is that a session URL?

Initially, you just get the URL
Paste it into the target window and hit go and it displays the jpgs. The first looked like a strange ouiji (sp?)board, and the second looked like something to do with table saw blades.

Too much trouble - just hit the "Go" button next to the url
The picture appears.
The mouse & pad are nice, but I'd rather have the diamond saw blades.

None for me
Don't see it, no matter what I cut and paste.

Really?
In Firefox, the second link shows a page that says:
The image \ufffdhttp://www.worth1000.com/entries/228000/228392UaCY_w.jpg\ufffd cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.
But, the URL field has an address in it. Click on that URL field to get the "focus" there and then hit Enter. Worked for me. Alex

Now my kids want me to buy Photoshop
so they can make their own creations.
I don't think I'll be buying it at that price (or any price).

I tried it once
and I'll never try it again.
First off, I let it do everything it wanted to do as it installed, and I answered yes to every prompt.
I opened it up to try it out. Pulled in a .JPG file and thought, "let's crop it". So I go to the menu bar and drop down to where that command should be, and saw that it was grayed out. That's gotta be a pretty common function that people want, and it was not available. So I figure, "let's read the included Help documentation to see what the problem was at installation, or if there are any alternatives." So I click on "Help" and get a nice error message telling me that "Help was not installed."
WTF!!!
When things like common functionality should be there but aren't, and a program can't even properly install its own help files, I'll move onto something else.

How long ago?
Making pictures like those shown in Drew's links isn't trivial. You and your kids will need a capable tool to do so.
Many Linux distros have The Gimp pre-configured. There are also [link|http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html|Windows installers] for it and its dependencies. (Note the Help file is separate.)
Feel free to buy Photoshop. But don't give up after one attempt on something free.
Good luck.
Cheers,
Scott.
(Who has [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=188271|very little experience] with The Gimp.)

About 1 1/2 years ago
maybe its installation has improved since then, but I'm not going out of my way to try it again real soon.

It's in there
Gimp 2.2.10 on Windows.
F1 launched browser into help docs.
/crop - took me to the link.
Click went to the crop tool description.
I'm a bit confused by what you meant by the menu item though.
I only see "Autocrop Image" and "Zealous Crop" on the menu.
I've used "Autocrop" to remove whitespace that surrounded images.
As others have point out, using Gimp or Photoshop to create the type of images that are on that site a "non-trivial", and this is a major understatement. Fscking hard is where it begins.
