Subject: May 2011 SOTM Voting Thread--Results Posted!

Written By: jreuben on 06/09/11 at 8:16 am

Note to new participants: Welcome, and good luck. Please read all guidelines carefully. Especially, please make sure to read all the entries and vote by the end of the month. The SOTM is not so much a contest as a feedback exchange. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, either in this thread or via personal message. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

~~Vote by replying to this thread with your five favorites in order:
1st choice- 5 points
2nd place- 4 points
3rd place- 3 points
4th place- 2 points
5th place- 1 point.

~~You're not allowed to vote for your own song.

~~Once you've posted a vote, you're not allowed to change it.

~~Voting continues until the last day of the month ends.

~~Anyone who's participated in a SOTM contest may vote.

~~By entering, you are agreeing to read and comment on all the other entries and vote.

~~Anyone who enters but does not both comment on all entries and vote by the end of the month is disqualified and may not participate next month, while all points will be forfeited, an entrant who has been disqualified may still participate next month if (s)he goes back and comments on all entrants from the month (s)he got disqualified prior to the end of the entry field (s)he is trying to get involved in.

~~In the event of a tie, the parody with the most first place votes wins.
If it's still tied, the parody with the most second place votes wins. and so on
If the points total and votes are identical, it will be left as a legitimate tie

~~Any entrant whose votes don't show a time stamp prior to midnight on the last day of the month (ie. according to the "inthe00's meantime" clock as it appears BEFORE you log in - not a timezone corrected version) is disqualified, no exceptions.

~~A medal known as the FUCA shall be awarded to the highest ranking parody which did not make the month's podium and is of an original song which has not previously earned any medal

It's a thing that K1chyd made, it's an award for getting the highest place (without making the top 3) with a parody of a song that hasn't made it on the podium before. You fit those criteria, therefore you won! Congrats! It stands for Formerly Unplaced Contribution Award, I think.

Also congrats to Abbott, Matthias and Chris Bodily!

Wow! I never thought I'd rank so high in my spoofing "career." It's an honor just to be up on the podium. Big congratulations to Matthias and Abbot.

Funny thing is, every parody involved jerks, except for Mark's gold tune. Even Abbot's involved a different kind of "jerk." Um, let's just leave it at that.  ;D

Osama bin Laden was a jerk
Jerk For No Reason
Steve Martin's The Jerk
The Rapture Jerk
Those busboys are jerks
Those careless jerks who smoke in the house
Wet Dream

I wonder if the coming months will be a little more friendly.  ;)

A big hearty congrats to everybody! :)
