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.

did anyone else here get a spam email from the "founder" of this contest - who has quit the new Yorker and set up his, er, own captioning contest? surely it's a massive breach of whatever privacy policy the NYer has for him to abscond with the mailing list for his own purposes!
