[THANK YOU. THE CONTEST HAS ENDED, WE HAVE WA WINNER]
Worst… Father’s Day Present… EVER.
Think you’re funny enough to be the next Margaret Cho? Well, now’s your chance to prove it to the world. Write your best caption for the above photo. 
If we think it’s the most clever, we’ll send you off a $20 iTunes gift certificate.
The contest is open to everyone in the US (sorry, iTunes won’t let us buy gift certificates to non-US accounts), and runs until Monday (June 30th) at 9PM EST. You can enter more than once if you are feeling “Carrot Top“-prolific. Good luck.
