r/compoface↗

A subreddit dedicated to compo face!

Quick and dirty sub for more compoface local press botherers. What is compoface? Generally, a mere picture of people with a funny headline doesn’t cut it. Compoface in a nutshell is “I believe that I have a legitimate grievance and I’m going to stand here looking mildly annoyed while the local press take my picture and I hope that I receive financial COMPensation for my troubles”. Bonus points for frowny faces, crossed arms, pointing at or standing close to the thing that’s caused them woes.
