The Winner of the Cracked Facebook Contest

By:

Remember that Facebook contest we talked about last week? The one where we promised to give away an iPod touch? Well, we have the winner. It wasn't an easy choice, but we have one...

That's not true. It was remarkably easy. We picked somebody at random. It's probably the easiest decision we've ever made. The only way this could have been easier would be if we just lied and didn't pick anyone.

Which we also considered but didn't follow through on thanks to a fairly stern letter from our legal department.

Anyhow, out of 501 submissions, we have chosen Calvin Pellsworth as the winner. Congrats, Calvin! (Sweet name!) Enjoy your iPod touch and thank to everyone else for playing. This will not be our last ridiculous contest.


Holy Blog, it's Blog! Blog! In the category of Totally Unsurprising Things, CNN and reports on boobs and Gladstone is
pissed off. In that same category, Chris Bucholz solves the bailout crisis. Sort of. Too lazy to solve the crisis, Swaim opts to use it as an excuse to beg for money. Finally, the scariest and most exciting thing to happen to politics happens when Ross, Swaim and DOB join forces and write a liveblog about the Vice Presidential Debate.

5 Upcoming Remakes of 80s Movies That Must Be Stopped
"Red Dawn?" More like "terrible idea for a remake because its themes are out of date," right? Right gang?

Notable Comment: Goose 129 says "How about this: "A group of terrorist invade a small town, led by a ruthless mask wearing fiend named Jason Ali-Ben-Palin. Armed with a laptop that took a direct nuke blast, he is able to control everything from playboy models to vending machines. The local dojo takes on the terrorist and in some sadistic way kick ass. The terrorist are driven out of town and the Navy pilots take over and cleanse them of their evil ways." There.... all five..... one remake.... all done." You know Hollywood's gonna make that now, right? They read messageboards, and now that movie is totally gonna happen. Great.

Notable Comment: mtrix534 wonders "what does nc-17 stand for?" It's 'Not Saf-' oh...oh. Not...cool for under 17? Not...censored? Huh. This is really a quick google search that we just don't feel like doing, so we're gonna say it means "Nine Cocks," (with eight cocks, you can still slip by with an R rating).

Notable Comment:GOTI says "I was starting to believe Cracked had stopped stalking me. Sure, you posted about that mountain thing yesterday, about 2 days after I heard about it elsewhere, but I was gonna let that slide. But then you post about private eyes/Humphrey Bogart right after I watch "The Big Sleep."" Oh GOTI, we'll never be done stalking you. P.S., you sleep weird. That thing you with your arm? Weird.
