New Yorker Anti-Cap Contest # 438






WINNERS


FIRST PLACE
"The meowers here are extreme."--pg13 (JUDGE'S COMMENT: A heavy handed variation on the classic “The hours here are extreme.” Sure it's clumsy and desperate, but not entirely illogical. While no one actually calls cats “meowers,” “barker” is an actual word, most typically used as part of “carnival barker” [“barker channel” is also a common expression in the cable TV business.] I also recall frat guys [among others] describing unattractive women as “barkers.” So, by extenstion, a guy who is a real pussy could be described as a “meower,” I suppose. It's a crule world but who can deny the nimble thought process .)
SECOND PLACE
"Tell asswipe I'll be late for work. I'm having a cat scan."--Anonymous (JUDGE'S COMMENT: The take away here is the is a sickly man who hates his boss. Still, “asswipe” is gross and nasty even by anti-cap standards.)
THIRD PLACE
"Same ole, same ole. Oh, and Whiskers ate those fucking birds."--Anonymous (JUDGE'S COMMENT: A reference to the privious week's content. Two issues: The birds were not fucking and “ole” should only be used when preceeded by “ye.”)
HONORABLE MENTIONS
Another peeping tom--Anonymous (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Why would anyone be compelled to spy on this guy? Recently a friend casually observed “If it's on YouYube, there is someone beating off to it.” Now I can't get that sick thought out of my head while watching Abby Cadabby and Mrs. Sparklenose with my graddaugher.)
"Yes, I want it published in the Times."--Kathy H (JUDGE'S COMMENT: This linked to something that made it relevant but I can't rememebr what. )
"Just tell Mr. Chase that it's Tony and that I finally found Big Pussy ..."--Janet (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Very dumb. But Sunday used to mean “The Sopranos” in my house. I miss that.)

"When I said I hoped to see a huge pussy, I was thinking more of Evrolet Girl."--LR (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Sure, a throw-back reference, but still very troubling. Apparently this man does not have YouTube access.)

"The cat ate the real contest."--Anonymous (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Very stupid. Cats don't eat contests. There...I said what everyone was thinking. Happy now?)
