The number of comments for this contest were overwhelming and thanks to everyone who entered. Unfortunately, we only have three Western Digital WD TV HD Media players to give away. But we selected more than three taglines that will soon rotate through the site. To be perfectly honest, a lot of the entries were disappointing. Crunchy with milk and such? Come on. You guys can do better than that. It’s obvious some of you don’t even read the site since many of you had no idea when CG launched. In any case, without further ado or interruption from the holidays, CES or MacWorld, I present the winners.
because you don’t have time to read the manual.
It’s true, Pito, it’s totally true.
To infinity and not a step further.
Oh, Ted, you had so many great entries, but we could only pick one of them.
Reviewing good, bad and utterly useless gadgets since 2006.
BJ speaks the truth.
Check your inbox, fellas.
Here are some honorable mentions.
Like Shakespeare, a million monkeys with typewriters could write this.
You’re a silly one, Cory.
because Luddites are so last season.
We couldn’t agree more, Rick.
Better than a Hand Puppet.
Damion speaks the truth.
All creativity and wittiness aside, which one do you plan on actually publishing as your tag phrase?
Of those listed, the first one is the best, imo.
But really, Jeff, I think the more important question is “How many bottles of [XXX] did you go through reading all the crunchtastic craptacular entries?” (Sorry, sorry, had to do it…)
PHa, got any stats on this? How many times “crunch” was used, number of first-time posters, person with the most entries, funniest ones you couldn’t use, my bac throughout the day, etc.
Good question, drew. We’ll go back and get some stats together. Will post them up later this week (for reals this time!).
drdrew makes several good points. I’d say like 90+ percent of the entries used the word “crunchies” or “crunch” in some capacity, and it was quite depressing. Follow Apple’s cue and think different, people!
Good questions, indeed, though I therein I believe lies the punch-line to it all — none of these winners submissions will be used. It was a hoax, a sham, a publicity stunt (but then again, what isn’t these days).
What makes you think we won’t be using these taglines?
Sarcasm — so which one will you use?
This contest was poorly timed. First the holidays/vacations and then CES, I know it got pushed to the back burner, but I’m glad to see the update. Congrats to the winners, and I agree with Peter that the cereal references were awful.
So glad I didn’t use the word crunch in my submission. Thanks for picking my tag line.
first honorable mention = first loser
I’m glad you liked it, though.
