Bumpersticker Slogan Contest (Winners)

[ Posted Saturday, August 25th, 2007 – 21:56 UTC ]

Yesterday, I ran a bumpersticker slogan contest here, in order to help the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee with their own campaign slogan bumpersticker contest.

Nah... actually, I ran it just because I thought it would be fun.

The results were overwhelming. In one day there were almost 150 posts. Narrowing these down to a list of winners was extremely hard, due to the fact that almost all the entries were excellent.

The only thing about the contest which disappointed me was there was absolutely no blatant attempts to bribe the judge. Oh, well... maybe next time.

The judging panel consisted of me and my wife. Our cat decided tiebreakers.

The winners will receive absolutely nothing, other than bragging rights for getting your name posted here. Bask in the glory and accolades -- you have earned it!

Without further ado, the top five winners in five categories: Republican, Democrat, Funniest, Best Use Of Cynicism, and Amazingly Subtle. And (at the end) my choice for Grand Prize Winner.

    I thought it might..

    Ever read a book called TALBOT?? It's a fairly old espionage cold war thriller. At the end, the hero is mulling over what he should do. One of the characters says, "If you want to go the Washington Post and expose the whole thing, I would be happy to run you over with my car."

    I kept reading for two more pages before I got it.. Laughed me arse off.. :D

    There's a list which circulates every few years with "the funniest accident excuses car insurance agents have actually heard."

    I only remember one of them, because it was so hilarious:

    "I turned and looked at my mother-in-law and drove over the cliff."

    Heh heh.
