I always wondered how many people entered. Sometimes the finalists are so weak I assumed like, 6 people entered. My god some of those submissions are not funny.

I mean the ones copied above, not the ones currently being submitted by ILXors. Those are all comedy gold.

The "Let's Win the New Yorker Caption Contest" Poll: Week 1

D'oh!

Well to sum it up, Roberto Spiralli won, but in typical ILX fashion, there were concerns about bestiality. That made your caption the choice for entry. But then, I'm pretty sure no one ever entered it, because I stupidly assumed that you had seen the poll.

lol after seeing the controversy over emphasized words in a caption I have to rethink

The three chonsen for the "giraffes in the ark" one:

*"I wouldn't say 'favorite' animal."
*"Mistakes were made."
*"I have trouble saying no."

OK, this means that you lot are not entering any of your captions on the site. These are rub to the point of boring.
