Write a caption, win a prize

Thank you, we have a winner. This contest is over.


One of these things is not like the others…

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 taken at Macworld, and if we think it’s the funniest, we’ll send you off a $30 iTunes gift certificate (yeah, we know the pic is of a $25 one, but apparently you can only buy in $10 increments, so you luck out with an extra Abe Lincoln).

Leave your caption in the comments below. Since last week’s winner won with a Blazing Saddles quote, we’re banning the awesome Three Amigos line “Sew very old one! Sew like the wind!”. Sorry.

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 Thursday (Jan 24th) at 9PM EST. You can enter more than once if you are feeling “Carrot Top“-prolific. Good luck.
(Oh, and be sure to put in your e-mail, or else we won’t be able to contact you).

And the winner is….
eb6 with: “It’s so nice to finally meet some of my little Stevie’s friends” Very clever.
Congratulations eb6, your iTunes gift certificate is on its way!
